Malaysia is a tropical country with a large area of agricultural land. Plant growth in Bukit Kor depends on a tropical climate with high rainfall and relatively humid and warm temperatures throughout the year. Plants are living organisms that grow and develop in a place. Plants have an essential role in the ecosystem, providing oxygen, food for humans and animals, and beauty in the form of plants. Insects are animals with rigid bones and a body shape divided into specific parts, such as the head, body, and abdomen. Types of sucking insects that can cause damage to coconut plants besides aphids and mites include whiteflies, aphids, or mites; aphids or mites suck liquid from plant shoots, causing damage to leaves and other insects. This study concludes that the pest attack on the Gelandir plant is that sucking insects such as aphids or mites can cause damage to the plant by sucking the liquid from the leaves, which can eventually result in holes in the leaves. Many losses are experienced by the plant owner, such as economic, productivity, and environmental losses.
