Al-Dobai. 2019. Overview of the gaps, challenges and prospects of red palm weevil management. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 37(2): 170-177. The Red Palm Weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier has emerged as a key pest of palms in diverse agro-ecosystems worldwide. RPW has its home in South and South-East Asia where it has been a major pest of coconut. Ever since it was reported on date palm in the Middle East during the mid-1980s, it has spread rapidly mainly through infested planting material. Recent reports of RPW invasion suggest that the pest is gaining foot hold in the Caucasian region where it is detected from Sochi in Russia and Abkhazia in the republic of Georgia and also from East Africa in Djibouti. The current RPW IPM programmes, based on pheromone/bait trapping among other techniques have been implemented with limited success. Gaps and challenges in almost all the components of the strategy, particularly with regard to early detection of the pest, developing and implementing phytosanitary measures, lack of farmer participation in the programmes and scarcity of data on socio-economic issues among several other factors have made RPW control and eradication extremely difficult. On the positive side, the pest has been eradicated in the Canary Islands and is approaching eradication in Mauritania. Eradication has also been obtained in various oasis in Oman but new introductions of infested palms have ruined these successes. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN during the Scientific and High Level Meeting on the Management of RPW in March, 2017 called for the urgent need to combat RPW by collaborative efforts and commitments at the country, regional and global levels to stop the spread of this devastating pest and formulated a framework strategy for eradication of RPW which aims to support efforts/programs of countries to stop its spread, to achieve a strong decline and if possible its eradication. This has led to the ‘FAO Programme on RPW Eradication in the NENA Region’ to intensify governance, monitoring, scientific research, capacity building and coordination. The program fosters the ongoing research on the applicable approaches of biological control and innovative detection and control methods. Furthermore, the ‘FAO Global RPW management platform’ aims mainly at monitoring the pest using mobile apps and GIS based techniques. This presentation highlights the gaps and challenges in the current RPWIPM strategy with prospects for improving each component of the RPW-IPM program, based on a much better knowledge on the socioeconomic situation and the participation of the farmers and other stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":8105,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal for Plant Protection","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79972477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simple and low cost injection technique to protect efficiently ornamental Phoenix against the red palm weevil during one year. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 37(2): 124-129. Preventive injection treatments in the framework of IPM programs to control the RPW in ornamental palms can present the great advantage to protect them for a long period, but also to transform them in deadly traps for the new weevil generations, contributing thus greatly to the decline of the RPW population. But for the preventive treatments as well as for the other components of the RPW control programmes, it is now essential, given the widespread and abundance of the pest, to propose simple to apply and low cost but also efficient and safe technologies. In this study, a very simple technique was developed based on an infusion process to inject an emamectin benzoate (EMA) formulation, at 3,5% concentration. The results showed excellent efficiency under different experimental conditions. For the palms of more than 8 meters height, 100% of the larvae were killed even 360 days after injection, compared to 11% in the control treatment.","PeriodicalId":8105,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal for Plant Protection","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89952659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The world situation and the main lessons of 30 years of fight against the red palm weevil. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 37(2): 109-118. For the last 30 years, imports and movements inside the countries of infested palms have led to the introduction and the spread of the RPW in all the countries of the NENA region (expected Algeria and Sudan) and in all the countries of the Northern Mediterranean coast. Most of these imports and movements have been officially authorized. In the Mediterranean region, hundreds of thousands of ornamental palms were imported from Egypt between 2000 and 2007. In all the infested countries the programmes to control this pest failed and the present situation is presently very serious with important socio-economic impacts in date producing countries and major landscape damages in places where palms were planted for ornamental purpose. To propose valid and sustainable solutions to control this dreadful pest, it is essential to draw lessons from this widespread failure and from the few cases where the control of this pest was successful. These main lessons are: imports and movement of palms must be forbidden when the shoots measure more than few cm diameter; containment strategy fails if it is not associated with efficient programmes implemented to obtain rapid RPW decline; eradication conceived as a long term objective represents a strategic mistake; with the existing tools, eradication is possible; the paradigm that pest eradication means automatically infested palms eradication is wrong; the main problem is not technical but socio-economic and organizational; socio-economic studies must be urgently realized and participatory approach methods must be implemented to involve the palms owners and their organizations at a large scale in the RPW rapid decline and eradication programmes.","PeriodicalId":8105,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal for Plant Protection","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75033314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection and preventive control of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera Curculionidae): a quarantine pest in Brazil. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 37(2): 130-135. Red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus was described as pest from tropical Asia, Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and America (California USA, 2009 and Curacao and Aruba, 2011). There is a risk for RPW invasion in South and Central America, where the weevil could infest economic palms as coconut and Guinean oil palm. The possible invasion represents a severe risk to Brazilian agriculture, and now RPW is an A1 quarantine pest with pending alert. Having available a preventive strategy of monitoring and control before the pest enters the Country would mitigate the threat for the agriculture. Because of this we are developing in Brazil a semiochemical and biological control based strategies for RPW early detection and control. We set tests with Ferrugineol in olfactometer and lured traps in field to evaluate that semiochemical use to evaluate luring of the South American palm weevil (SAPW) Rhynchoporus palmarum as a model pest. Moreover, biological control agents such as entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes are now available for virulence bioassays in Brazil. Field tests will be conducted with a combination of semiochemical and biological agents to determine the level of control with R. palmarum. Subsequently, tests with RPW outside Brazil will be carried out. We expect to find promising combination of mass trapping and biocontrol agent to propose an effective action for the RPW management and the contemporary evaluation of its control efficacy. The study will suggest a new component to develop sustainable control strategies by the joining of intercontinental experiences and approaches.","PeriodicalId":8105,"journal":{"name":"Arab Journal for Plant Protection","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81540686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
