“…Larvae are the most destructive stage of the weevil as they can penetrate deep in the stem damaging its internal tissues. Up to three complete generations can take place inside one single adult palm (Abe et al, 2009;Dembilio et al, 2009b) and this process can take as long as one year. Only at the end of this period, external symptoms become obvious and the palm eventually dies.…”

The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), the major pest of palms in the Mediterranean, has mainly spread through movement of infested plants. The aim of this work was to determine the possibility of using aluminium phosphide in palms as a safe quarantine treatment against this pest. Laboratory tests were carried out on eggs, young and old larvae, pupae and adults of R. ferrugineus with different doses of Eurofume® and mortality was assessed. Fumigations of infested canary palms were carried out in a hermetic container and subsequently palms were carefully dissected and all R. ferrugineus specimens found, either dead or alive, were counted. Results suggest that a dose of 1.14 g aluminium phosphide m–3 for 3 days is enough to kill all stages of R. ferrugineus in an infested palm tree. Provided that applied dose of aluminium phosphide is not phytotoxic for palms, this treatment could significantly reduce at low cost the enormous risks that palm imports suppose worldwide.

“…While there are definite differences in behaviour between EPN species traditionally classified as ambushers and those classified as cruisers (e.g. nictation and jumping are expressed by "ambush" species), it is becoming increasingly clear that S. carpocapsae, an ambusher, can find and infect relatively immobile insects at considerable distances from the point of application (de Altube, Strauch, de Castro, & Pena, 2008;Dembilio, Llacer, de Altube, & Jacas, 2010;Dillon, Ward, Downes, & Griffin, 2006), prompting some to question the usefulness of the classification (Wilson, Ehlers, & Glazer, 2012).…”

B. bassiana is lethal to the primarily infected weevils and sublethal to other adults in contact with the infected individuals, by lowering their reproductive fitness (Dembilio et al, 2010a;Llacer et al, 2013). The RPG is found in association with some phoretic nematodes.…”

A B S T R A C TThe red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) is a bug local tropical areas of Southeast Asia are a vital nuisance of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.). Trade is the fundamental driver of its worldwide spread development in the Mediterranean locale and the close East. In its local reach Rhyncophorus ferrugineus postures financial issues in the loss of coconut harvest stays controlled commonly. However it extremely well adapted to the new environment development by tending to new species, for example, the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) creating genuine monetary issues. Eventually, it changes the tourist's scenes in Spain and France, tending to the Canary palm (Phoenix canariensis Chabaud) and consequently that the European Union for a long times an Action Plan against red palm weevil, considering observing the development and import of palm, mindfulness and plagued palms demolition arrangement. On the other hand, looking ahead in hopes of a fight developer effective means pushed through a study on the behaviour and biology of the weevil either in the wild or in its amplified territory.

Field efficacy of imidacloprid and Steinernema carpocapsae in a chitosan formulation against the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Phoenix canariensis

Abstract: Both imidacloprid and S. carpocapsae in a chitosan formulation proved highly effective against R. ferrugineus in the field, and their efficacies did not significantly change when used in combination.
