METWALY METHOD ENDOTHERAPIC INJECTION FOR PALM TREES ¿ THE NEW METHODS USED TO CONTROL THE RED PALM WEEVIL (RHYNCHOPHORUS FERRUGINEUS OLIVIER)

M. Nabawy
The amended Italian tree vital machine, Treevital Endopalm proved its efficiency as a very effective injection machine for palm trees, to control the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, in Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. Such a patented machine has been used to inject 6 groups of 30 R. ferrugineus-infested palm trees (5 trees per group) by 6 insecticides (one/group). The insecticides were as follows: Abamictin, Oxydemethion, Fipronil, Imidacloprid, Azdrachtin and a mix of ten vegetal oils with Zn and Mn.
This method of application was found to be highly economical with less environmental hazards, and safe for the users.
