A relatively safe control measures conducted to control Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, Oliver (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in palm orchard at El-Kattatba district, (Menofia governorate).

B: Chemical treatment: 4) local painting with hydrated lime and spraying orange oil (80.57 increased to 85.08 then 89.58%), 5) local injection with recommended insecticide (61.35 increased to 71.01 then 79.16%). B: Chemical treatment: 6) offshoots removal and pruning with dusting agricultural sulfur together with local painting with hydrated lime and spraying orange oil and using pheromone traps treatment resulted in 86.03% increased to 88.24% then 96.39%, and 7) offshoots removal and pruning with dusting agricultural sulfur together with local injection with recommended insecticide treatment resulted in 68.78% increased to 78.15% then 91.78%.
