Physical and Physiological Monitoring on Red Palm Weevil-Infested Oil Palms. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 The red palm weevil (RPW) is a stem boring Coleoptera that decimates host palm trees from within. The challenge of managing this pest is due to a lack of physical symptoms during the early stages of infestation. Investigating the physiological changes that occur within RPW-infested palm trees may be useful in establishing a new approach in RPW ...
