Probably there are a few courses conducted by the agencies entrusted with the control of Red Palm Weevil in each of the affected countries. In King Saud University as a part of the activity of our Research Chair, we conducted a two week training program for the agricultural engineers working in Agric Ministry of Saudi Arabia. I will write to European Commission to have a course in each of the countries for the benefit of all those people working in landscape especially Spain, Italy and Portugal. I will also discuss to have international course at our university as well in future.

I am a landscape gardener in the region of the northern Costa Blanca in Spain. As you are probably aware the disease is begining to infiltrate this region. My question is; are there any courses available so that I can learn more about the disease and its control preferably in this area and in English? If not I am willing to travel to where it is available. Thank you for your help

There is a workshop on potential invasive pests at Florida Univ, Miami in October. This problem of the pest in Americas will be discussed in detail and come out with some suggestions.

does passing electric current into the date palm eliminate the weevil eggs ? and kill the weevils hidden inside the tree .
Please any data on this control method

Are the nematodes used in some trials as
a biological weapon that can “eat” and poison the weevil inside the palm available ? and where ?

Red Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) – Красный пальмовый долгоносик.
Распространение данного вида обусловлено в первую очередь бездумной селекцией и неограниченном распространение в мире флоры. Отсутствие фито контроля особенно явно выявляется на территории Европы. Где лишь малая часть Пальм принадлежит к фермерским плантациям.
Ограниченные ранее территориально данный вид жука регулировался исключительно климатическими факторами. Повышением влажности и понижением температуры окружающий среды в ночное время.
Сейчас же напротив мы наблюдаем исключительно положительные условия для проникновения вглубь Европы данного жука находящегося в благоприятных условиях. Важным фактором явится комплексный подход регулирующий посадки в зоне поражения. Исключительно не правильным является, на мой взгляд, высадка аналогичной культуры в замен погибающий, как предлагается раннее. Тем самым продолжая жизнь данного бедствия.
Возлагая надежды на Инсектициды, мы можем подвергнуть мутации жука и пальмы.
Тем не менее возможно предложить аналоги используемым в Европе средствам:
Ход лечения:
1) ИСКРА Двойной Эффект (д.в. циперметрин + перметрин (21+9) г/кг, ТПК ТЕХНОЭКСПОРТ, таблетка 10 г) – 10 литров рабочего раствора – 2-3 пальмы (в среднем);
2) Командор (д.в. имидаклоприд 200 г/л, ТПК ТЕХНОЭКСПОРТ, флакон 10 мл) – 10 литров рабочего раствора – 2-3 пальмы (в среднем);
Чередование туманным опрыскиванием и непосредственное орошение центра роста листьев.
3) Также эффективным средством является своевременный уход за стволом пальмы, сжигание срезанных листьев, использование ловушек размещенных за пределами зоны произрастания на удаление 100-200м.

Distribution of this species is primarily due to reckless selection and unrestricted distribution of the world’s flora. Lack of control of phyto especially clearly revealed in the territory of Europe. Where only a small part of the palm belongs to the farmers’ plantations.
Previously geographically restricted this type of beetle regulated solely by climatic factors. By increasing the humidity and lowering the ambient temperature at night.
Now, on the contrary, we are seeing very positive environment for penetration deep into Europe, this beetle is in favorable conditions. An important factor will be a comprehensive approach to regulating the landing zone of destruction. Extremely not correct is, in my view, landing a similar culture in substitutions dying, as proposed earlier. Thus continuing the life of the disaster.
Placing their hopes on Insecticides, we can expose mutation beetle and palm trees.
Yet perhaps offer analogues used in Europe Drugs:
The course of treatment:
1) SPARK Double Effect (ai cypermethrin + permethrin (21 +9) g / kg, TPK Technoexport, tablet 10 g) - 10 liters of working solution - 2-3 palm trees (on average);
2) Commander (ai Imidacloprid 200 g / l, TPK Technoexport, bottle 10 ml) - 10 liters of working solution - 2-3 palm trees (on average);
Alternating misty spray and direct irrigation of the center of growth of leaves.
3) Also effective is the timely care of the trunk of the palm, the burning of cut leaves, using traps placed outside the zone of growth to remove 100-200m.

These observations Portugal, Algarve, near Faro.
It would be interesting to know the situation in the area of Porto. With low climatic temperatures winter 2009-2010.

Что Вы имеете в виду?…

Almost the entire damage is caused by the larvae that feed on the inner tissues of host palm near the crown or some part of the trunk region…..
