“…Several techniques have been developed to detect infestations of the RPW in palm trees. These include visual inspection [22], utilization of acoustic sensors [22,23], specially trained dogs with olfactory capabilities [24], trapping [25], canopy inspection [26], endoscope inspection [27], drones and aerial surveys [28], biochemical analysis [14], soil analysis [29], and X-ray CT (computed tomography) scans [30,31]. However, some methods have demonstrated limitations in terms of their accuracy.…”

The red palm weevil (RPW) poses a significant threat to date palm ecosystems, highlighting the necessity of sustainable pest management strategies that carefully consider the delicate ecological balance within these environments. This comprehensive review delves into innovative approaches to sustainable pest management, specifically focusing on date palm, and seeks to unravel the intricate ecological dynamics underlying RPW infestations. We thoroughly analyze biocontrol methods, eco-friendly chemical interventions, and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, aiming to minimize the ecological impact while effectively addressing RPW infestations. By emphasizing the interplay of both living organisms (biotic) and environmental factors (abiotic) in shaping RPW dynamics, we advocate for a holistic and sustainable management approach that ensures the long-term resilience of date palm ecosystems. This review aims to contribute to an ecologically sound framework for pest management, promoting the sustainability and vitality of date palm ecosystems amidst the challenges posed by the RPW.
