“…Red palm weevils were first described in 1891 in India (Lefroy, 1906;Vidyasagar, 1998) and are currently found in other parts of Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Oceania, and North America (Netherlands Antilles) (Murphy & Briscoe, 1999;Bozbuga & Hazir, 2008;EPPO, 2008EPPO, , 2011Borchert, 2009;Pelikh, 2009). In southern China, the increasing transport of ornamental palm plants has resulted in the introduction of RPW into Hainan, Guangdong, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hong Kong, Jiangxi, Shanghai, and Zhejiang (Ju et al, 2006;Wang, 2007;Zhang et al, 2008).…”

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Rhynchophorinae), which is one of the most serious pests of palm plants, was first found in China in the city of Wenchang (Hainan Province) in the 1990s and has now expanded to South China, including Fujian Province. In this paper, we provide a genetic characterization and determine the genetic relationships among geographic populations of RPW in Fujian using microsatellite loci and cytochrome oxidase subunit Ι (COI) sequences. The results indicate a low‐level microsatellite diversity of RPW. Four genetic clusters of RPW were found in Fujian. No correlation was detected between the genetic and geographical distances in the microsatellite data. The mitochondrial COI sequence analyses revealed a high level of diversity in the Fujian populations. Eleven haplotypes were detected, and these included eight haplotypes that were different from those found earlier in Mediterranean, Middle East, Japanese, and other populations. Significant genetic variations were observed mainly within populations, both with microsatellites and with COI sequences. Low gene flow among the populations was observed. Our results indicate that the nuclear allelic diversity was low compared with the microsatellite results from populations in Wardan and Oman, but the mitochondrial diversity was not reduced to a similar extent. The low level of the genetic structure of RPW is related to the limited flight capacity of RPW and human‐aided dispersal rather than to the geographic distance.

The effect of temperature on the developmental time, survival, and reproduction of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) reared on sugarcane was studied at seven constant temperatures (16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, and 40 degrees C). The developmental threshold temperatures and effective accumulated temperatures for the whole generation were 17.41 degrees C and 1,590.72 DD, respectively. One generation had the highest survival rate (26.67%) at 28 degrees C. The egg failed to survive at 16 and 40 degrees C. The population trend index (I = 38.22) and net reproductive rate (R(o) = 38.3) were highest at 28 degrees C. The net reproductive rate (R(o) = 3.36), intrinsic rate of increase (r(m) = 0.0028), and finite capacity of increase (lambda = 1.0028) were lowest at 20 degrees C. The mean generation time (T(o) = 85.82) was shortest at 36 degrees C. The population double time (PDT = 27.08) was shortest at 32 degrees C. Based on these studies, we concluded that the temperatures from 28 to 32 degrees C were the most suitable temperatures for the development of R. ferrugineus.

“…Similar results have also been reported in previous studies by Kumar et al (2004), who investigated the infestation of RPW and found higher infestation in the months of June and July. While infestation of RPW was also higher in the months of February andMarch 2007 and2008, this might be due to removal of sucker in these months Ferry and Gomez (2002). The least attack (8%) of RPW was in the months of January, September, October, November and December in both the years 2007 and 2008.…”

“…Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L. family: Arecaceae) is the most important fruit tree of tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world, this tree is evergreen and can reach up to 30 meters tall (height). Date palm is widely grown for its fruit in Iraq, Iran, India, Mediterranean, North Africa Countries, Oman and Pakistan (Azam et al, 2001;Bozbuga and Hazir, 2008;Khushk, 2005). Date palm is also found in the countries like America, Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Cyprus, Nagaland, North, Pakistan (Khushk, 2005) Peru and Spain.…”

The survey on various parameters showed that the degree of orchard infestation fluctuated by time period/seasons, so attack of red palm weevil varied on different months of the year during the study period. It was observed that this insect pest had significantly higher (16%) infestation in the months of June, July and August, during experimental period. The least attack (8%) of the weevil was in the months of January, September, October, November and December in both the years (2007 and 2008). Place of infestation of weevil on date palm stem revealed that the pest infestation was mostly concentrated at the base of trunk (up to 50 cm height) and 75 to 82% of total weevil infestations were located at the base of palm trunk. Spirotetramat insecticide was found most efficient treatment to control red palm weevil infestation/damage, which recovered (43%) damaged date palm trees, followed by Fipronil (33%), Chlorpyrifos (26%) and Methidathion (19%) during the year 2007 and 2008.
