Decaying coconut logs that were once breeding sites of the rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros L.) could be used as organic fertilizer or as soil ameliorant for vegetables and fruit trees. Chewed materials as well as beetle frass from beetle-infested coconut logs in Davao City and Lucena City [Philippines] indicated high nitrogen content and substantial phosphorus and potassium contents. The chewed material, in an almost humus form, may be used as soil additives for nursery potting purposes and as rooting medium for anthuriums (Anthurium andraeanum). The unchewed log may be used firewood. Rhinoceros beetle larva may also be used as fish bait. Its potential as chicken or hog feed supplement may also be looked into
