Abstract

The aggregation pheromone traps of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, RPW) is an essential method for integrated pest management in field trials. Experiments were carried out on date palm plantations at (Abo-Nagi) El-Kassasein district, Ismailia Governorate, Egypt during one year (2012). Three baited pheromone traps with different food materials were tested. Adding date fruits to pheromone was the best bait to attract RPW where the number of weevils captured was 1005 adults representing 41.75% of the total catch compared to sugarcane and pheromone, which caught 807 adults, represented 33.53% of the total catch. Traps with ethyle acetate caught the least number 595 adults representing 24.72% of the total catch. The obtained results obviously indicated that numbers of captured adults were high significantly increased in traps supplied with dates than other food materials. Accordingly it is recommended to add date fruits to the pheromone traps. Generally, to achieve more capturing effectiveness of aggregation pheromone traps helping in controlling red palm weevil, it is necessary to use traps with holes and funnel without cover and placed at ground and supplied with fermented date fruits.
