We also advanced biological control methods to reduce chemical insecticide use. These include the introduction of natural predators like Eocanthecona and Sycanus species, with over 29,000 insects released in 2025, and applying a virus-based treatment (Setothosea asigna virus) to manage nettle caterpillars. To date, 46 liters of the treatment have been produced, covering 92 hectares. In 2025, we used a total of 140.85 tonnes of biopesticides. Examples of IPM controls include: Barn owl rearing: Establishing habitats to encourage barn owl populations for natural rat control. Leguminous cover crops: Planting nitrogen-fixing plants in between oil palm crops to suppress weeds and improve soil health. Predatory beetles: Releasing Eocanthecona and Sycanus species, which are natural predators of other insects that attack oil palms. Biological pathogens: Using viruses and fungi to target leaf-eating insects, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides. We recorded a 21% increase in total pesticide consumption from 305,000 litres in 2024 to 369,660 litres in 2025, primarily due to intensified infestations of fireworm (Setora nitens) and bagworm (Metisa plana) and rehabilition activities undertakenin selected estates in East Kalimantan. To manage these outbreaks responsibly, IndoAgri prioritised biological control methods and IPM approaches, including the use of environmentally friendly biological agents and natural predators, to minimise ecological impact and reduce reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides. We will continue to enhance pest monitoring and detection systems to drive further reductions in pesticide use.
