“…These findings are in harmony with Abbas et al, (2006) who reported that pheromone components of 4-methyl-5-nonanol and 4-methyl-5-nonanone in the ratio 9:1 was found to be effective in attracting both male and female adults of RPW. These findings are in accordance with Abdallah and Al-Khatri (2005) who in his findings reported the influence of colour inpheromone baited traps to attract RPW pest. Colour of the trap significantly influences the colour cue in attracting the weevils (Abuagla and Al-Deeb, 2012).…”

In the present open field trial study, using Barrix Hunter-RPW Trap and Lure (patent applied:202241012003) the pest RPW was successfully influenced with chemoreception by the use of pheromone lure containing a blend of 4-methyl-5-nonanol and 4-methyl-5-nonanone, in specific blend ratio of 7:1. The attraction efficiency of Barrix Hunter-RPW trap and lure was also affected by the colour of the trap, with specific maroon colour, matching to PANTONE 7421 C colour code influencing the chromoreception and colour cue of the pest RPW. The trap’s colour and pheromone lure both efficiently producing linear influence in attracting and trapping of RPWs in coconut fields. Pest catch data was statistically analysed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), the results demonstrated that combined pheromone blend lure and trap’s colour have a significant effect on attracting adult red palm weevils. Mean sum of weevils caught / trap at the end of 4 weeks was significantly higher in maroon coloured trap, followed by brown coloured trap and least number of weevils captured in burgundy coloured trap. Thus, field trials demonstrated maximum mean number of weevils captured was statistically significant for maroon (matching to PANTONE 7421 C colour code) coloured crescent wing trap, used along with pheromone lure; Barrix Hunter RPW Trap and Lure.

“…As a fruit with significant nutritional and medicinal significance, dates are regarded as one of the most significant (El-Shafei 2018; Zinhoum and El-Shafei 2019). All parts of the palm tree, including the trunk, leaves, bracts, leaves, and fruits, are susceptible to infestation by a variety of insect and pest diseases, which can reduce both the quantity and quality of production (El-Lakwah et al 2011a;El-Lakwah et al 2012;El-Shafei et al 2018 andAssous et al 2022) . The red palm weevil is one of the most significant and harmful pests that affects the trunk of all cultivars of date palms, ornamental palms, and all species of palm trees (El-Lakwah et al 2011b;El-Shafei, 2011;Habib et al, 2017;Milosavljevic et al, 2019 andAbd El-Wahab et al 2020).…”

Due to the extreme danger of the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea: Dryophthoridae) on date palms and its rapid spread in many countries in the world. This work was carried out to evaluate the effect of using different pheromones, baits and trap shapes on the attraction of the RPW adults by pheromone traps in date palm plantations. Results revealed that the traps contained Rhyncho gel pheromone recorded the highest average of captured RPW 20.17 adults/ trap compared to the three other tested pheromones, Rhyno cap, English and Costa Rican which recorded, 17.44, 12.94 and 7.44 adults/ trap respectively. Also, the traps contained dates as a food bait attracted the highest average of RPW adult 55.47 adults/ trap compared to the other four tested baits, Pineapple, Sugar beet, sugar cane and palm pollen grains that collected 27.56, 25.25, 11.83 and 10.39 adults/ trap respectively. In addition, trap shape No. three achieved the highest average of attracted RPW adults 16.81 adults/ trap followed by the trap shape No. two, 13.81 adults/ trap without significant differences between them, while the trap shape No. one collected the least insects number, 10.22 adults/ trap with a significant difference with the other two forms. It is clear from the results that we recommend the use of the third-shaped trap containing Rhyncho gel pheromone and dates as a food bait, as each of these three treatments has achieved the highest efficiency of attracting RPW adults in date palm farms to reduce their population.
