Blurb/Shorttext:
The effects of Bacillus thuringiensis products, Bafog-1 (S) and Ecobac-1 (EC), on the oil palm pollinating weevil (Elaeidobius kamerunicus), beneficial insects (parasitoids and predators), freshwater fish (Tilapia nilotica), rats (Sprague Dawley) and young New Zealand Albino rabbits were studied. The laboratory study showed that Bafog-1 (S) and Ecobac-1 (EC) were safe to the oil palm pollinating weevils (E. kamerunicus), beneficial insects (Dolichogenidea metesae, Goryphus bunoh and Brachymeria carinata), freshwater fish (T. nilotica), rats (Sprague Dawley) and young New Zealand Albino rabbits, excluding of the eye irritation test result for Ecobac-1 (EC).
