“…Alongside trapping, preventive and curative chemical treatments are essential for the efficient management of RPW [ 21 , 36 ]. Curative insecticidal treatment of RPW-infested palms in the early stage of infestation represents an integral part of the management strategy; caught early, infested palms often recover after treatment [ 37 ].…”

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is the most devastating pest of palm trees worldwide. Mitigation of the economic and biodiversity impact it causes is an international priority that could be greatly aided by a better understanding of its biology and genetics. Despite its relevance, the biology of the RPW remains poorly understood, and research on management strategies often focuses on outdated empirical methods that produce sub-optimal results. With the development of omics approaches in genetic research, new avenues for pest control are becoming increasingly feasible. For example, genetic engineering approaches become available once a species’s target genes are well characterized in terms of their sequence, but also population variability, epistatic interactions, and more. In the last few years alone, there have been major advances in omics studies of the RPW. Multiple draft genomes are currently available, along with short and long-read transcriptomes, and metagenomes, which have facilitated the identification of genes of interest to the RPW scientific community. This review describes omics approaches previously applied to RPW research, highlights findings that could be impactful for pest management, and emphasizes future opportunities and challenges in this area of research.

“…In lab experiments with RPW larvae, the same effects of emamectin have been observed as when applied with a micro injector to the date palms. Larval mortality rates of 97 and 100% were recorded after 90 days, when 50 or 100 mL/tree emamectin were injected, respectively (Gomes and Ferry 2019). In another recent study, Mashal and Obeidat injected Revive 4 and 9% into date palms infested with RPW for periods of 3, 6 and 12 months, and found allindividual mortality after 6 months and up (Mashal and Obeidat 2019).…”

“…Similarly, emamectin benzoate injected into date palms and ornamental palms killed 100% of RPW larvae, and cured 95% trees of infestation after one year in Spain and Jordan. Moreover, no residues of emamectin benzoate were detected in the fruit of injected trees (Gomes and Ferry 2019;Mashal and Obeidat 2019).…”

Invasions of the red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) has become a well-known problem for several palm species in date palm-growing states, including Saudi Arabia. Although several control measures have been implemented in efforts against RPW, yet, no approach has proven consistently effective against this invasive pest. Therefore, further efforts are still needed to develop an effective and efficient control method for RPW management and mitigation. The objectives of the present study were to determine emamectin benzoate (ARETOR) efficacy against RPW larval stages, in the laboratory using a diet incorporation bioassay, along with field tests of the Syngenta Tree Micro-Injection Technique. Our laboratory bioassay showed that the median lethal concentration of emamectin benzoate (ARETOR) was 0.30 μg/mL−1 against wild populations of RPW larvae. In the field studies, emamectin benzoate (ARETOR) showed promising effects on RPW mortality for all stages. We found 100% mortality for both larval and pupal stages for all exposure times, except after 2 months, where 86% mortality was observed for larvae. Thus, we conclude that emamectin benzoate (ARETOR) is an effective biopesticide against RPW. Our results show that it killed RPW all stages, also prevented further damage to the healthy tissues of date palms, in addition, provided protection against RPW spread to other neighboring healthy date palms. © 2021 Friends Science Publishers

“…The curative insecticidal treatment of RPW-infested palms in the early stage of attack is an integral part of the control strategy. Such palms recover with insecticide treatment [63,72,73]. Ferry [74] provided a detailed protocol of mechanically sanitizing palms in the early stage of attack, while Aldawood [65] presented a comprehensive protocol to inject palms with insecticide in the early stage of attack.…”

The red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) also known as the Asian palm weevil is a key pest of palms (Arecaceae) in diverse agro-ecosystems the world over. During March 2017, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN through its 'Rome Declaration' 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. There exist gaps and challenges in almost all the components of the current RPW-IPM strategy, particularly with regard to early detection, developing and implementing phytosanitary measures, lack of effective biological control agents in the field and poor farmer participation in the control programmes, which have made RPW control and eradication extremely difficult. This chapter gives an overview of the global invasion, current management options, challenges and future prospects for its effective control.
