Ganoderma Boninense BSR is very prevalent in the Oil
Palm plantation.
The disease occurs in :-
a) Natural Setting,
b) Highly Well maintained transplanted landscape,
c) Well Drained Setting,
d) In Peat or Swampy soil area.
The Ganoderma spores are:-
a) Found mainly in the roots of tree.
b) Parasite, taking nutrients & water from soil.
c) Prevent root growth and initiate stem rot.
d) Remain in soil for generations.
Existing Standard of control:
a) Removal of Infected Palm
b) Using Fungicide as preventive measure.
c) Soil Mounding: to extend life of tree.
d) Herbicide & Pesticide etc.
e) Trenching or Replanting.
All the above methods were ineffective. Ganoderma
spores still propagate rampantly in the soil.
In Malaysia, it was reported by MPOB that :
a) 59,000 hectares were seriously infected and growing.
b) Infection rate: In 1999 was 1.1%, In 2010 was 3.7%.
c) Loss in revenue year 2009 / 2010 was RM 1.1 Billion.
Our Soil is “DEAD”
a) Due to years of Chemical Fertiliser, Pesticides,
Fungicides, etc. applications have “Killed” the Eco and
Micro Organism communities in the soil.
b) We believe , that the good microbes concentration in the
soil to control the Ganoderma fungi is not enough, hence
the Ganoderma proliferation in the Oil Palm Plantation.
The solution to this problem, we believe should start with
soil treatment i.e. to enrich the soil with beneficial
bacteria enzyme and microbes to check and control the
ganoderma spores in the roots.
Our GanoEnz treatment does exactly that, by introducing the
good bacteria enzyme to attack, destroy and produce
antibody against future ganoderma attack.
White growth is hyphae of Ganoderma Zonatum
after incubation in moist chamber for 4 days,
and corresponded with the discolored area of
the cross sections.
