“…Furthermore, developing a reliable, easy-to-use, and cost-effective RPW detection device is an effective solution for reducing the gap in early detection [44]. In this regard, the literature provides some successful examples of early detection techniques in terms of efficiency, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, such as biological and physiological indicators, thermal imaging, chemical signatures, acoustics, laser-induced remote sensing, breakdown spectroscopy, and near-infrared spectroscopy [9,[44][45][46][47][48][49]. Additionally, the FAO established a global RPW management platform that includes a mobile app tool for collecting and transmitting data on palm inspection [16].…”

Sustainable Management of the Red Palm Weevil: The Nexus between Farmers’ Adoption of Integrated Pest Management and Their Knowledge of Symptoms

The red palm weevil (RPW) (Rhynchophorus ferruginous) is one of the most serious pest insects threatening the sustainability of the date palm sector (Phoenix dactylifera L.). Nevertheless, a gap exists in the body of knowledge regarding patterns in farmers’ adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) for RPW control and how their knowledge of RPW symptomology influences IPM adoption. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from 183 palm growers in Al-Ahsa Governorate, Saudi Arabia. The results indicate that most farmers had insufficient knowledge to visually diagnose RPW symptoms and damage. Farmers moderately adopted preventive measures recommended for protection from RPW infestation. Only 13.11% of the farmers exhibited a high rate of adoption of pest management practices for RPW control and eradication. The findings revealed a strong positive association (0.8, p < 0.01) between the knowledge level regarding symptoms and IPM adoption level, whereby the respondents with more knowledge of RPW symptoms showed a higher level of adoption in all IPM categories. This study contributes to the development of our understanding of the social behaviors and risks associated with RPW. This might enhance the quality of awareness campaigns and extension programs and assist in developing a visual inspection protocol for RPW infestation for farmers.

“…Shukla (2017) has performed field studies by comparing the dried dates and sugarcane and found no statistical difference in their trapping efficacies. The date palm tissues and dates have been used at Al-Ahsa region of Saudi Arabia between the years 1994 and 1998 for mass trapping the red palm weevil (Shukla, 2017;Soroker, 2015). The presence of EA significantly differentiated between total numbers of adult red palm weevil catches with date fruits.…”

“…Over the years, trapping protocols with respect to trap design, trap colour, lures, release rate, food bait, trap servicing (periodic change of food bait), role of co-attractants, etc. have been researched in several countries [29,[45][46][47][48][49][50]. Pheromone trap captures help optimizing/prioritizing the inspection of palms to detect infestations.…”

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.
