“…The result was in agreement with that of Gopal et al (2001), who found that the infected larvae took less than a month to die. Finding in this study was contrary with the study by Ramle et al (2011), who found that the highest mortality was caused by the OrNV type Norman et al (2007) reported that infection by Bacillus thuringiensis and B. popillae had caused mortality to larvae ranging between 25% to 64%.…”

“…It was so successful that the virus is considered one of the landmark classical biological control programs ( Caltagirone 1981 , Young 1986 , Zelazny et al 1992 , Huger 2005 , Hajek et al 2006 ). First released in Western Samoa in 1967, the virus reduced CRB populations and successfully maintained low numbers in invaded countries and territories for more than 30 yr. For example, 62–85% of CRB beetles were infected with the virus 3 yr post-release in two Indian Islands, Lakshdweep, and Andamans, reducing damage by 82–96% during the 1980s ( Gopal et al 2001 ). In Oman, more than 40% of the local CRB population were infected 2 mo after release of 900 OrNV-infected beetles in 1989; 3 yr after virus introduction (1992), CRB damage was reduced by 50% compared to the year before ( Kinawy et al 2008 ).…”

The coconut rhinoceros beetle (CRB: Oryctes rhinoceros Linnaeus) is one of the most damaging pests to coconut and oil palms in Asia and the Pacific Islands. Adults bore into the crown and damage developing fronds, which affects tree development and yield. The insect is native to South and Southeast Asia and was inadvertently introduced into the Pacific in 1909. It has since spread to several Pacific island nations and territories, causing significant economic impact on these important coconut and palm-growing regions. In the 1950s and 1960s, an international biological control effort was initiated to search for and release natural enemy species. Release of the Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus Huger (OrNV) and the species complex of Metarhizium Sorokin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) was successful in controlling CRB in its invaded range. Recently a new biotype of the beetle, known as CRB-G, has spread into the Pacific Islands causing unprecedented levels of damage due to the failure of previously successful biological control agents (BCAs) to suppress this biotype. The re-emergence of CRB as a serious pest warrants a rigorous re-evaluation of potential BCAs and a new search for effective natural enemies if necessary. In this article, we review literature on CRB to 1) analyze past introductions of BCAs and their effectiveness; 2) identify potentially important natural enemies and their geographical origins; and 3) assess possible approaches for utilization of BCAs against the new wave of CRB invasion. Research gaps and directions deserving future attention are highlighted and a strategy for renovation of biological controls for CRB suggested.

“…However, the other species O. agamemnon, O. sinaicus and O. sahariensis were recorded recently (Khalaf et al, 2013;Al-Jamali & Al-Kariti, 2019;Augul & Al-Saffar, 2019). Many Oryctes species infest the coconut, oil and date palm trees worldwide causing economic losses (Bedford, 2013); for example, O. rhinoceros caused a loss of 10% of the 1.796 million hectares of coconut trees in India (Gopal et al, 2001). Larvae and the adults of Rhinoceros beetles infest the date palm's stem and feed on dead and living tissues and they can cause severe damage when attacking the aerial root system leading to unexpected collapse of infested palms (Soltani et al, 2008).…”

Date palm borers become a serious threat to date palm plantations in Iraq, which required management program to suppress their population by using different methods; one of them is the light traps which disseminated in Basrah province. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of light traps as a part of pest management tool. In three years monitoring of coleopteran adults, rhinoceros beetles Oryctes spp. and longhorn date palm borer Jebusaea hammerschmidtii infesting the date palm Phoenix dactylifera were reported by using light traps in different regions of Basrah, Iraq. Due to the result of the abundance of the borers, Oryctes spp. were the most dominant and most important causing severe damage for the date palm. Four species of Oryctes (O. agamemnon, O. elegans, O. sahariensis and O. sinaicus) were recorded in Basrah date palm orchards; the seasonal activity of the species was between April and May, reaching the peaks during summer, and the populations decreased gradually till December. The overall sex ratios of all species of Oryctes spp. were male-biased except O. elegans, which had the sex ratio of 1.13 female: 1 male. Results revealed that the light traps exhibit an effective control method to suppress the adult borer’s population and as a physical control and monitoring tool of date palm stem borers.
