DIFFERENT METHODS TO COMBAT THE RED PALM WEEVIL COMPARED TO MODERN INJECTION METHOD BY AMENDED ITALIAN MACHINE (ENDO PALM)
Gas control pills do not give the desired results, and there is difficulty in use, especially when there is a large hole in the palm which requires to be closed tightly, and sometimes the employee is exposed to gas fumes which is internationally forbidden to be used.
Outer spray has been used since the start of injury in Arab countries, but did not succeed due to the difficulty of pesticides to kill insects, but it is considered to be complementary to that of control programs to kill larvae and pupae and insects between the folds of the full cut Jerid.
Burning the injured palms did not give good results, due to the flight of insects when they feel heat.
Injection by pipes gives moderate results in the case of some medium new infections, and have been found quickly, and placed in only one wound. But in the case of multiple sites of injury or injury under the head, as well as wounding of a tall palm under its head, it will be a very difficult treatment to make holes in palm parts, as well as the difficulty of hammering in the farms which have no electricity for the use of an electrical driller, and took a long time in injection by pipes.
Moreover, the environment is affected by pouring pesticide outside the palm and the lack of access to all pesticide sometimes eccentric within the palm as well as all parts of the palm, compared with injection by the amended injection machine (Endo Palm) ,which is characterized by the following:
We have injected chemicals and a natural oil of Dr. Shams. Also we injected isolated bacteria from the palm weevil insects, which is a compound of Dr. Ahlam El-Fazeery. Also a compound of Dr. Swify which is isolated fungus from the palm weevil insects. All these compounds, thanking to Allah, gave very good results. Besides private compounds by Dr. Nabawy, compounds of my own will be recorded as a patent.

- 1) Quick usage: ability of injection of 30-50 palms per day.
- 2) Ease of use.
- 3) Preserving the environment and worker and human health.
- 4) Access of the pesticide, by thanking to Allah, to all parts of the palm and the phases of the insect.
- 5) The ability to treat so tall injury palms at its head.
- 6) Saving of pesticides and the efficiency of injection and the efficiency of controlling.
- 7) Giving hope to farmers in the possibility to have an effective way to combat the weevil.
