Indonesian Palm Oil News (IPO News) – Despite its relatively recent emergence within Indonesia’spalm oil sector, PT Pascal Biotech Indonesia has swiftly carved a name for itself, particularly in educating palm oil enterprises and smallholders on the battling against Ganoderma, a formidable adversary responsible for basal stem rot in oil palms, by integrating Bio-Control Agents into current disease management practices.

Pascal Biotech’s flagship innovation, Actino Plus, harnesses the potent efficacy of Streptomyces Gano SA1, a bacterial strain with remarkable capabilities to thwart the menace of Ganoderma boninense, the notorious pathogen behind the rot disease that plagues palm oil plantations. This exceptional solution, born out of a collaborative endeavor with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB), has already demonstrated profound success in safeguarding Malaysian plantations, and is now establishing its foothold in Indonesia’s vast agricultural landscape.

The success of PASCAL Biotech Indonesia can be attributed to the remarkable teamwork and bold risks embraced by the company. Under the visionary leadership of Miftahul Anwar, as Direktur Utama, the team has demonstrated exceptional collaboration, pushing boundaries and taking strategic risks that have positioned Pascal Biotech at the forefront of the fight against Ganoderma Boninense. Anwar’s leadership, combined with the collective dedication of the team, has propelled the company to new heights, driving widespread adoption of their innovative solutions across Indonesia’s palm oil industry.

Actino Plus Application Guidelines :

• Nursery Phase: Apply 150g per tree, in three phases when the plant reaches 3, 6, and 9 months of age, with 50g per application.
• Planting Stage: Apply 250g in the planting hole for trees aged 10-12 months.
• Immature Trees (TBM) (<5 Years): Apply 300g per tree, distributed in three separate holes around the tree, 100g in each.
• Mature Trees (TM) (>5 Years): Apply 600g per tree, similarly divided into three holes around the tree, with 200g
  per hole.

For fresh plantings, where Actino Plus was not applied during the nursery stage, a dose of 300g per planting hole is recommended at 3-year intervals.

For TBM plants under five years of age, the required dosage remains 300g per tree, while for mature trees, the dose escalates to 600g per tree.

Actino Plus is applied in pockets, with three pockets spaced at half the length of the plant’s frond from the stem’s base.

While Actino Plus is primarily a preventive measure, Pascal Biotech Sdn Bhd Malaysia is concurrently spearheading research on curative interventions involving viral agents and endophytic Streptomyces for more advanced treatments.
