Date palm Phoenix dactylifera L. is cultivated well especially in tropical and semitropical climates. It is considered an economic fruit crop in Egypt and the Middle East. Date palm fruits are a very good source of food with several medicinal qualities (Al-Dosary et al., 2016). Palms are infested by many harmful pests, but the red palm weevil is the most important of them at all (Salman et al., 2020). The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is the main borer attacking palm trees (Milosavljević et al., 2019). Most of the popular date palm cultivars are also suitable for RPW infestation (Sallam et al., 2012).The widespread RPW enabled it to expand its geographical range to extend to Asian, African, European and American countries, causing catastrophic damage to palm production
