Abstract

There are many species of termites associated with oil palm planted on peat soil. Most of them are beneficial to the ecosystem and harmless to the crop. Four subterranean termite species of Coptotermes are commonly found in oil palm planted on peat soil, viz. Coptotermes curvignathus, C. sepangensis, C. travians and C. kalshoveni. The only species infesting living palm is C. curvignathus. The other genera of termites such as Schedorhinotermes, Parrhinotermes and Nasutitermes, in which are some very common species in oil palm plantations, are harmless to the palm. Accurate identification of termite species to distinguish between the pest and non-pest species should be emphasised to prevent wrong application of pesticide against beneficial termites in the field. This paper provides a pictorial guide for the identification of common termite species in oil palm planted on peat soil. Keywords: Subterranean termites, C. sepangensis, C. curvignathus, C. travians, C. kalshoveni.

苏门答腊岛廖内省与油棕有关的普通白蚁和其他白蚁
泥炭土上种植的油棕有多种白蚁。其中大部分对生态系统有益,对作物无害。在泥炭土油棕中常见的地下白蚁有四种,分别是Coptotermes curvignathus、C. sepangensis、C. travians和C. kalshoveni。唯一寄生于现存棕榈树的物种是C. curvignathus。其他属的白蚁,如油棕种植园中非常常见的scheorhinotermes, Parrhinotermes和Nasutitermes,对棕榈无害。应重视对白蚁种类的准确鉴定,以区分有害白蚁和非有害白蚁,防止在田间对有益白蚁错误施用农药。本文为泥炭土油棕常见白蚁种类的鉴定提供了图片指南。关键词:地下白蚁,白蚁,白蚁,白蚁,白蚁
