TOXICITY AND ANTI-TERMITIC POTENTIAL OF ORGANOTIN(IV) COMPLEXES AGAINST Coptotermes curvignathus SPECIES OF TERMITES
Coptotermes curvignathus is one of the major pests in oil palm plantation. The primary termite species capable of killing oil palm was C. curvignathus (Rhinotermitidae). Immature palms were killed as a result of feeding damage to the apical meristem at the base of the spear, while mature oil palm we...
