BSP TASKS Development of Sustainable and Efficient Biological Control
For Cacao Production
Compile existing baseline information
and determine key knowledge gaps
essential
Methods development and technological
applications that will provide and
disseminate information and data leading
to the implementation of more
ecologically-sustainable IPM for cacao
Determine the economics (cost-benefit
analysis)
Existing Baseline Information on Major Pests of Cacao
Helopeltis
Cacao pod borer
Black pod rot
Vascular Streak Dieback
Minor Pests of Cacao
Mealybug Tree hopper
Ceratocystis wilt
Baseline Information – Key Knowledge Gap
Seasonal abundance Study of distribution patterns of insects in crop ecosystems
Sampling techniques for the estimation of insect population and damage
Pest surveillance (light traps, pheromone traps)
Forecasting of pest incidence
Natural enemies Knowing the natural enemies acting on the pests
Sampling technique
Habitat manipulation to enhance population
Conservation technique
Biology of Helopeltis
egg nymph
adult
Total life span
28 – 47 days
adult egg
larva pupa
Total Life Cycle = 32-40 days
Cacao Pod Borer
1. Inspect and Investigate 2. Identify and Learn 3. Monitor 4. Choose Control Methods 5. Evaluate 6. Technology transfer
IPM has 6 steps
Control Methods for IPM
Culrural Methods habitat diversifications
mehanical method (sleeving, pruning)
sanitation
Biological Control classical biological control (applied biological control
native biological control
Chemical control botanical extracts
insecticidal soap
plant oil
bio-coaters
HABITAT DIVERSIFICATION
SLEEVING SANITATION/ PRUNING
CULTURAL METHOD
Trichogrammatoidea bactrae fumata
Indonesia
Cacao Pod Borer egg parasitoid

CHEMICAL CONTROL
Particle Film Technology
METHODS DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATION
Preliminary assessment of Kaolin Clay on Helopeltis
T1= use of stoler products; T= farmer’s practice; T3= control (water only)
METHODS DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATION
Explore the genetic potential of the plant
Identification of insects, spiders,
and mites in cacao plantation
