GanoEF biofertilizer

Recommended application:

  1. Oil palm nursery – 50 g/seedling (3x, total 150 g/seedling) at 3, 6 and 9 months old
  2. At replanting (planting hole) – 500 g/hole
  3. Immature palms (oil palm age < 4 years old) – 2 kg palm-1 yr-1
  4. Mature palms (oil palm age > 4 years old) – 4 kg palm-1 yr-1

Regarding GanoEF biofertilizer

The application of biological control agents provides another possibility for the disease control of Ganoderma.

MPOB and All Cosmos Industries Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of All Cosmos Bio-Tech Holding Corporation, successfully produced GanoEF biofertiliser for controlling and preventing Ganoderma disease in oil palm. GanoEF biofertiliser contains the endophytic fungus, Hendersonia GanoEF1 incorporated into inorganic and organic fertiliser as carrier.

The endophytic Hendersonia fungus was found to be a strong antagonistic against Ganoderma boninense in various laboratory and nursery studies. The Hendersonia fungus was isolated from the oil palm roots. Thus, it colonises oil palm roots and does no harm to the host plant. On the contrary, it has helped to improve oil palm crop performance against Ganoderma disease. Based on the nursery trial, seedlings treated with GanoEF biofertiliser showed a significantly lower percentage of disease incidence (DI), severity of foliar symptoms (SFS) and dead seedlings (DS) with 46.7%, 48.4% and 26.7% compared with the untreated seedlings 93.3%, 83.8% and 86.7% respectively. BSR disease incidence was reduced by 69.5% in seedlings treated with GanoEF biofertiliser compared with the untreated seedlings based on area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) value.

Field testing of the GanoEF biofertiliser to control Ganoderma disease was investigated through seedling baiting technique at two sites in Teluk Intan, Perak. After 36 months, only 5% dead palms due to Ganoderma infection were observed on seedlings treated with GanoEF biofertiliser (Table 3). About 83.3% (50 out of 60 palms) of the untreated seedlings were dead due to Ganoderma infection. Palms that succumbed were confirmed due to Ganoderma using the Ganoderma selective medium (GSM).

Field application

A 12-month old seedlings placed into planting hole and 500 g of GanoEF biofertilizer applied on the surrounding palm.

Oil palm refilled with soil and levelled to soil surface.

The application of 2 kg/palm/year of GanoEF biofertiliser in the holes on the surrounding palm on immature palm.

The application of 4 kg/palm/year of GanoEF biofertiliser in the holes (4 holes) on the surrounding palm on mature palm.

Nursery application

Application of GanoEF biofertiliser in oil palm seedlings.

Application of 50 g GanoEF biofertiliser in oil palm seedlings.

Three month old seedlings transplanted into the polybag.

Application of 50 g GanoEF biofertiliser on each of oil palm seedlings at 6 and 9 months old.

Oil palm is the major commodity crop for Malaysia. It is important to ensure its sustainability by improving yield as well as protecting the crop from pest and diseases.

The implementation of The Malaysian Oil Palm Industry Biosecurity Plan will be our first step in protecting and preventing invasive pests, diseases or weeds from entering our country, thus securing the future of the oil palm industry in Malaysia.
