Ganpderma: Busuk Pangkal Batang Kelapa Sawit, Waspadai Akar Lama

This episode explains why oil palm basal rot often starts underground. Farmers will understand why old roots, old trunks, and diseased stumps are important during rejuvenation. Ganoderma is difficult to control because the disease doesn't just affect the parts of the tree visible above ground. When fronds droop, spears fail to open, leaves turn yellow, or hard mold appears at the base of the tree, the lower trunk and roots may already be damaged. This episode explains field signs farmers should look for, why infected woody material in the soil is risky, and why simply removing the top of the tree isn't enough in fields with a history of Ganoderma. This discussion also explains why multiple diseased trees in an area require attention. A single diseased tree may be an isolated case, but multiple diseased trees in one spot often indicate higher disease pressure in that area. For rejuvenation, the key lesson is simple: Infected trunks, stumps, and main roots need to be properly managed. If diseased woody material remains in the plantation, the source of the disease can remain close to the new oil palm seedlings. Farmers will also understand why young oil palms exhibiting basal stem rot need to be taken seriously. This could indicate high disease pressure or a more aggressive Ganoderma species in the area. This is a practical oil palm podcast for oil palm farmers, plantation workers, and smallholder managers who need clearer field guidance on Ganoderma and field hygiene during replanting.
