Abstract
Oryctes Rhinoceros is an economically important
pest to the agricultural sector especially to 011
palm industries. Losses of yield due to this pest
could reach up to 80% of the crop. Many control techniques have been adopted in the Integrated Pest Management of the beetles. IncludIng the use of pheromone. The pheromone.
ethyl 4-methyloctanoate. can attract huge numbers
of adults. However. It was observed that not all
population of the beetles in the field was attracted
to the pheromone. this could be due to the fact
that the pheromone substance is very specific and
employs a compound unique to certain species.
