| Abstract | Rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros (L)) is an important insect pest of coconutand palm plants. The implementation of Metarhizium anisopliae stain DOA-M5 as biologicalcontrol agents was used to control Rhinoceros beetle. The research was conducted duringJanuary 2015 - December 2017. The objective was to obtain the suitable mass productiontechnology and effectiveness to control the Rhinoceros beetle in the field which focused onpractical and inexpensive including unharmed to farmers. Four pellet formulations ofMetarhizium anisopliae stain DOA-M5 were produced. Results showed that the formulationwhich consisted of pumice, fresh fungal culture, palm oil and distilled water was the mostsuitable for pellet bio-pesticide according to short time (38 days) consuming during theprocess and low cost production (38.82 baht/kg). The efficiency test in semi-greenhousewas 200 gm per cement artificial breeding site 0.24 cubic meters. The 27 field trialapplications were conducted in coconut plantation in Nakhon Pathom and SamutSongkhram Provinces. The average numbers of larvae in each trap were not statisticallydifferent at 48.12 in biopesticide product and 35.43 in fresh culture inoculum. Furthermore,the percentage of larvae infection with Metarhizium fungus in traps were not different instatistic at 87.07% and 77.67% respectively. |
