“…Palm oil, a ubiquitous ingredient in food and cosmetic products, is associated with large-scale deforestation and habitat destruction. The expansion of palm oil plantations often leads to the displacement of native flora and fauna, disrupting the intricate balance of ecosystems [2]. Additionally, the runoff from palm oil processing facilities introduces a range of chemical compounds into nearby water bodies, further exacerbating environmental concerns [3].…”

This study investigates the ecological consequences of palm oil and spent engine oil effluents on insect populations, employing a comparative analysis of two widely used collection techniques: pitfall traps and sweep netting. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of these methods in capturing and quantifying insect diversity and abundance in polluted environments. The research was conducted in selected sites exposed to palm oil and spent engine oil effluents, with corresponding control sites for comparison. Pitfall traps and sweep netting were deployed simultaneously to collect insects across various habitats impacted by the aforementioned effluents. The collected specimens were then identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible, and population data were analyzed to evaluate the relative impact of each effluent type on insect communities. Furthermore, statistical analyses were employed to compare the efficiency of pitfall traps and sweep netting in detecting changes in insect populations. The study revealed that pitfall traps recorded significantly higher number of insects (72.93%) than sweep nets (27.07%) in sites exposed to palm oil effluent (P<0.05). The result obtained in the site exposed to spent engine oil effluent showed that pitfall traps recorded significantly higher number of insects (80.61%) than sweep nets (19.39%) (P<0.05). This study contributes to the ecological repercussions of industrial effluents on insect populations, offering a methodological comparison that can enhance the precision of future insect-related environmental assessments.

The demand for sustainable and sustainable biotechnological processes has developed as a result of a growing interest in converting agricultural waste into valuable products. In this study, fungal strainswere isolated from soil environment ofoil palm empty fruit bunchesandscreened for humic acid production. In Osun state, Nigeria, soil sample was taken from a local palm oil mill. Different colonies of fungi were obtained for further research using the serial dilution plating procedure. Plate screening was used to evaluate the fungal biomass as well as colony diameter of the fungal isolates, and a submerged fermentation test was used to measure the amount of humic acid concentration the isolates produced. Fungal isolates were identified by using molecular methods and morphological analysis. The fungi species Aspergillusniger, Rhizopusstolonifer, and Penicilliumchrysogenum were isolated from the soil environment. When compared to Rhizopusstolonifer, Aspergillusniger grew more superiorly in terms of zone diameter (26.5 1.50 mm) and biomass (2.23 0.16 g), while Penicilliumchrysogenum showed no growth. Throughout the fermentation process, Aspergillusnigeralso produced a greater quantity of humic acid, with concentrations varying from 0.70 mg/l to 2.20 mg/l. Aspergillusniger strain HR18's existence was confirmed by molecular analysis. This experiment proved that Aspergillusniger can efficiently produce humic acid from OPEFB, providing a useful method for waste utilization and sustainable practices.
