Electrocution and containment methods to reduce the activity of red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, Ol.)

نویسندگان

چکیده

Aim of study: To evaluate the susceptibility Rhynchophorus ferrugineus to electric discharges, eventually use this application in synergy with other methods as part an integrated control strategy.Area Worldwide.Material and methods: Three different voltage intensities were applied R. investigate insect’s both adult larval stages. The transmission diffusion electricity within a portion palm tree was tested. In addition, suitability containment materials for handling transportation plant residues tested.Main results: results test showed that total number eggs laid per mating couple larvae born about 1.5 times higher compared electrified samples. duration discharge on had small impact mortality rate, while strong (87% 10 V 99% 15 V). presence significant current observed viable stem (distance from source cm) providing direct 250 tension. Among tested residues, aluminium net sheet best individuals.Research highlights: Electrocution has proven be system which can help red weevil reducing synthetic chemicals.

Seasonally variable intestinal metagenomes of the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus)

The intestinal microbes residing in the red palm weevil (RPW, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) larva consume tender interior fibrous tissues of date palm trunks. The understanding of such microbiota at molecular level provides vital clues for the biological control of this devastating pest. Using pyrosequencing and shotgun strategy, we first study taxonomic profiles of the microbiota sampled at diffe...

Transcriptomic identification of chemoreceptor genes in the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus.

Olfaction is crucial for insects' survival because it enables them to recognize various environmental information. It is primarily mediated by a large family of chemoreceptors, including olfactory receptors (ORs), gustatory receptors (GRs), and ionotropic receptors (IRs). Here, we assembled the transcriptome of the economically important pest of palms, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, to reveal its c...

Digestive proteases during development of larvae of red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

The evolution of digestive proteases during larval development of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) has been studied. A progressive increase of protease activity has been found. The optimum pH for proteolytic activity against azocasein was determined. Caseinograms revealed an active complex of alkaline proteases from the early stages of the development. From the apparent molecular masse...

Development of red date palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) was evaluated on 4 popular cultivars of date palm, viz., ‘Khalas’, ‘Sukkary’, ‘Khasab’, and ‘Sillaj’ for 2 consecutive generations. The weevils reared on ‘Sukkary’ showed significantly better growth expressed in most parameters such as length, width and weight at larval, pupal and adult stages. Significantly greater numbers...
