Depuis la découverte du charançon rouge palmier Rhynchophorus ferrugineus en Tunisie décembre 2011, ce ravageur est devenu invasif et mortel pour les palmiers. L’apparition tardive des symptômes représente l’obstacle majeur qui entrave l’efficacité de lutte. Afin mieux contrôler ravageur, un élevage masse a été réalisé étudier ses traits d’histoire vie (THV). Allant l’œuf à l’adulte sur milieu ...

The Red Palm Weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) is a voracious pest of palm species. In recent decades its range has expanded greatly, particularly impacting the date palm industry in the Middle East. This has led to conjecture regarding the origins of invasive RPW populations. For example, in parts of the Middle East, RPW is commonly referred to as the "Pakistani weevil" in the b...

Given the social importance related to the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), efforts are being made to develop new control methods, such as the deployment of trapping systems. In this work, the efficacy of a new black pyramidal trap design (Picusan) has been verified in comparison with white and black buckets. In addition, the attractant and synergi...

UNLABELLED Red Palm Weevil (RPW, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier) threatens most palm species worldwide. Until now, no studies have analyzed the gene regulatory networks of Phoenix canariensis (Chabaud) in response to RPW attacks. The aim of this study was to fill this knowledge gap. Providing this basic knowledge is very important to improve its management. RESULTS A deep transcriptome ana...

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...
