- Endophytic fungi are quite common in nature and some of them had been shown to have adverse effects against insects. The previous study have documented the presence of endophytic fungi provide a protection of the plant hosts against insect herbivore, parasitic nematodes and plant pathogens. Four isolates of fungal endophyte were isolated from cacao fruit and leaves from West Sulawesi, Indonesia. The isolates were identified such as Trichoderma sp., Fusarium sp., Acremonium sp., and Aspergillus sp. The isolates were examined for their control to cocoa pod borer (C. cramerella). The intensity damage by cocoa pod borer in all treatments of fungal endophyte is always lower than the control treatment.
