Pest Attack.

Noticed that we have 6 rubber trees infected with Rubber Bark Beetle. These beetles in massive numbers attack the trunk of the rubber tree. The trunks has lots of waste from the beetles.

Arrangement has been made to manage the pest with pesticide. Thank goodness this was discovered early.

Our Gaharu is also being attacked by Heortia vitessoides. It's the larvae that eats up the leafs of the Gaharu. Continuous attack if not stopped, can kill the whole tree. These larvae usually start with the very young leafs and keep on until the whole tree if totally destroyed if the colony is large enough. Our helper informed us on this pest.
