Resumen
Descripción
Red Palm Weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus is one of the world’s major invasive pest species and is the single most destructive pest of some 40 palm species worldwide. It was detected in the Gulf region during the mid-eighties, and has significantly expanded westwards over the last three decades to cover almost all countries of the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. It has also reached some Southern European countries in the Mediterranean Basin as well as a few countries in Central A merica and Caribbean. RPW has a significant socio-economic impact on the date palm production sector and the livelihoods of farmers in affected areas.
