Abstract
Oryctes rhinoceros (L.) breeds in the rotting stumps of oil palms and rubber trees, and is a potentially devastating pest of young oil palm replants, the unopened leaves of which are attacked by the adults. In view of the planters' belief that the pest is controlled by heavy ground vegetation, the effects of cover (natural, legume or grass) and bare ground on beetle populations in rotting logs and incidence of beetle attack on young palms were compared in a series of four experiments.
