EVALUATION OF SPECIFIC PHEROMONE TRAP DESIGNS AND COMPONENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN REDUCING THE RED PALM WEEVIL POPULATION IN EGYPTIAN PALM FARMS
Abstract: 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.
