In the Middle East and in our country, Egypt, the Red Palm Weevil (RPW) or palm aids (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, Olivier) has been a more dangerous palm pest for the past two decades. Volatile oils, also known as essential oils, are natural sources that contain a variety of chemical compounds that can attract or repel insect pests. The current study aims to use new techniques for controlling the red palm weevil by utilising essential oils as an element of semiochemicals. The laboratory study was conducted by using a two-choice olfactometer (Y), we compared palm hearts (Algumar) and certain essential oils and recorded the coefficients of attraction and repulsion separately for males and females. Our results indicated that the females' coefficient of attraction to palm hearts increased by 55%, while males were attracted to water. The coriander and basil oils also recorded high attraction rates of 61.6% for females and 51.1% for males, respectively, but the lemongrass and peppermint oils were repellent to both females and males. When mixing oils in an innovative formulation, the attraction rate was increased by 86.6% and 84.4% for both females and males, respectively. From the above, it is clear to us that mixing some volatile oils together has a strong effect by increasing the coefficient of attraction that is not present in each oil alone, increasing the oil's effectiveness. As a result, within the integrated control programmes and the country's sustainable development strategy, this method is recommended as a new method for controlling, reducing pest damage, and protecting the date crop and palm wealth.

“…The insect–fungal interactions can be a new allelochemicals-based interaction of particular benefit for developing innovative strategies for pest management [ 45 ]. Volatile organic compounds combined with aggregation pheromones interplay in a push–pull method to control R. ferrugineus [ 113 , 114 ].…”

Coupling several natural and synthetic lures with aggregation pheromones from the palm weevils Rhynchophorus palmarum and R. ferrugineus reveals a synergy that results in an increase in pest captures. The combined attraction of pure pheromones, ethyl acetate, and decaying sweet and starchy plant tissue increases the net total of mass-trapped weevils. The 2018 entrance of the red palm weevil (RPW) into South America has threatened palm-product income in Brazil and other neighboring countries. The presence of the new A1 quarantine pest necessitates the review of all available options for a sustainable mass-trapping, monitoring, and control strategy to ultimately target both weevils with the same device. The effective lure-blend set for the mass-trapping system will attract weevils in baiting and contaminating stations for entomopathogenic fungi that the same weevils will spread.

“…Weevil larvae build cocoons from palm fibers within which they pupate (200). Adult mating is frequent and promiscuous (64,111,194). Survivorship and development rates and population growth parameters are strongly influenced by temperature (41,45,122).…”

“…Combining different tactics, such as strict quarantine measures to prevent movement and propagation of infested planting material, good sanitation and orchard management practices, monitoring and early detection of infested palms, trapping, and judicious use of insecticides, forms the core of sustainable palm weevil management programs. Comprehensive management programs need to be applied area wide, and use of geographic information systems-based spatial and temporal maps and databases can assist with implementation, coordination among program participants, and long-term application of control methods (64). Various combinations of these tactics have been integrated to successfully manage R. palmarum and R. ferrugineus (62,102,158,159,196).…”

Palm weevils, Rhynchophorus spp., are destructive pests of native, ornamental, and agricultural palm species. Of the 10 recognized species, two of the most injurious species, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and Rhynchophorus palmarum, both of which have spread beyond their native range, are the best studied. Due to its greater global spread and damage to edible date industries in the Middle East, R. ferrugineus has received more research interest. Integrated pest management programs utilize traps baited with aggregation pheromone, removal of infested palms, and insecticides. However, weevil control is costly, development of resistance to insecticides is problematic, and program efficacy can be impaired because early detection of infestations is difficult. The genome of R. ferrugineus has been sequenced, and omics research is providing insight into pheromone communication and changes in volatile and metabolism profiles of weevil-infested palms. We outline how such developments could lead to new control strategies and early detection tools.
