Cassowary, that systemic pesticides are broadly utilized in Thailand doesnt shock me nevertheless its not what I discovered in Malaysia. What systemic pesticides are you referring to?
On main farms I noticed the usage of EM and organic management merchandise like baccilus thurgensis. I dont suppose these are suitable with typical pesticides.
Some locations you see herbicides they usuallyre most likely utilizing nematacides as properly. However I listened to farmers trash speaking herbicides and speaking concerning the necessity of residing soil with a lot of worms. Management of abrasion can be a priority.

Hello Peter,
In Malaysia the place the tree’s are typically giant it would not work very properly with a foliar software so I doubt they use it in these conditions as a foliar software. It will be utilized by injection into the stem, it goes into the sap and turns into systemic.
IMO “Mono crop” orchards with musang king would possible have this of their schedule to guard from herbivores and likewise steam borers.
I cannot title a specific lively substance because it is dependent upon what they’re making an attempt to kill and I do not use it myself and there could be totally different merchandise obtainable over there from right here.
I’ve not been in Malaysia, however have seen many youtube movies. You’d know higher what they do in Malaysia then me.
I do know of 1 farmer in AU with durian tree’s that makes use of systemic insecticide to scale back fruit recognizing bug in order that the younger fruits do not drop of when being pierced by this insect. A minimum of 4 several types of systemic is out there on the shelf at native ironmongery store right here. In fact the best Byer stuff isn’t so far as I do know.
I might guess that BT wouldn’t be affected by systemic pesticides as a result of BT has totally different cell membranes. Micro organism are fairly totally different from bugs. Eg. Phytophra is an algae and have cellulose cell partitions whereas some have Chitin primarily based cell partitions.
Yep fruit nerd, that appears like a mon thong to me. And that appears like a great one too 
I’m sure that the true mon thong is in AU, the one I’ve tasted that was labeld as mon thong was the identical as those in Thailand
Peace
