Trunk injection

When the palm tree is infested with leaf eating caterpillars or bagworm, it is essential to carry out pest and disease operation. 

One way is to do trunk injection.

The chemical that is injected into the trunk is systemic, hence the entire tree became poisonous. 

When caterpillars ingested the fronds, they will be dead sooner or later. 

However, this will mean that harvesting bunches is not allowed at the moment due to highly toxic fruit bunches.
