Palm weevils are invasive insect species that pose a fairly serious threat to palm trees. it feeds on a broad range of palms The use of RedPalm Weevil Pheromone and Trap is effective and is considered to be one of the best ways to do organic farming through IPM Standards. We Green Victory® intend to supply & meet the ever-growing demand for organic & ecofriendly techniques. With our specialized R&D team, we bring in the best effective RPW Pheromone Lures & Trap With complete understanding of the inset, we Green Victory® have developed RPW Pheromone & Trap. Our pheromones are induced in wax for longer field longevity & Trap is designed with textured grip, which helps the weevils to crawl into the trap easily but the inside surface is mirror polished so the weevil can’t crawl back outside. Thus, our innovative patented technology guaranteeing successful catch.
Red Palm Weevil is widely considered to be the most damaging insect pest of palms in the world. Red palm weevil attacks young trees through the trunk and more established trees through the crown. Younger trees less than 20 years old are particularly susceptible. Early detection is extremely difficult when 80% of its life cycle is hidden from view. As their numbers in infected trees increase, so greater damage occurs. Infestations often invisible in their early stage prove deadly once larvae begin to tunnel through the tree as they feed. It is often too late to save a tree once the symptoms of infestation becomes visible, RPW’s are usually attracted to unhealthy palm trees, but they will often attack healthy palms too. Red Palm Weevil larvae feed within the apical growing point of the palms

To lay eggs, females use their long beak, or rostrum, to chew a hole into palm tissue. Eggs are then laid into this hole. Eggs may be laid in wounds, cracks, and crevices in the trunk, from the collar region near the roots, up to the base of frond petioles and axils near the crown of the palm. Females can lay 58-531 eggs which hatch in about 1-6 days. Larvae that hatch from eggs, feed on the surrounding palm tissue and bore their way into the centre of the palm. The tunnels larvae form as they feed fill with frass (excrement and chewed fibres that have a highly distinctive odor) and plant sap. Larvae may pass through 3-7 instars or stages that may last for about two months before the pupal stage is reached. Larvae pupate inside cocoons in the palm trunk, or in concealed places at the base of palm fronds. The pupal stage may last from 11 to 45 days. The entire life cycle, egg to adult, can take 45 to 139 days. Adult Red Palm Weevil emerge from cocoons, and females can lay eggs for around 8 to 10 weeks. Adult weevils live for about 2 to 3 months feeding on palms, and going through several cycles of mating and egg laying before dying.
Since red palm weevil larvae spend much of their lives inside the tissue of a palm, finding tunnels or frass (wood shavings) on the crown of the palm’s central growing point is usually how your local arborist will be able to detect the presence of these pests. As the infestation progresses, symptoms become more noticeable. New leaves (fronds) won’t grow properly; instead the new growth will die back, followed by decaying leaves that droop and appear yellow and brown. You might also detect a fermented odor
ALWAYS PLACE PHEROMONE TRAP TO THE CORNER OF THE FIELD, AS THESE PHEROMONE TRAP ACTS AS A BARRICADE. ONCE THE TRAP IS INSTALLED, IT STARTS TO LURE THE INSECTS AND SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO HUNG OUTSIDE THE FILED.
