Phases of red palm weevil infection

Tratamiento picudo fase inicial

Early red palm weevil infection

1Ra Phase

In this phase, with the naked eye we can observe a small deviation from the main eye of the palm tree, that is, in the nascent leaves. We will also find marks of bites in some of its leaves of triangular or circular shape. It is important to note that before performing a Height pruning We have to be sure that the palm tree is infected.

2Gives Phase

At this time of infection we can visualize a greater deviation of the main eye of the palm tree. There is also a decline in some palms, caused by the loss of their natural rigidity, because the weevil larvae are beginning to feed on the fastenings of the palm to the trunk.

Red palm weevil infection in critical stage

3Ra Phase

At this circumstance, the palm tree is in a critical state. This means that, in the event that the specimen is saved, it will be marked for life.

The main sign of infection that we can find at this stage is a pronounced inclination of the main eye of the palm tree. Therefore, if a correction is not applied in time, it could quickly evolve to a Phase 4. This means that the chances of recovery would be quite low, even causing the death of the specimen. At this stage, it is necessary to act quickly if you want to save the palm tree.

4Ta Phase

This is the last phase in which the palm tree is considered to have some chance of recovery. This probability depends only on the situation of the larvae of the red palm weevil, whether they have touched the yolk of the specimen or not.

In the event that they have not touched the yolk or it is partially taken, the palm tree will have to be thoroughly evaluated to plan the best possible action. Visually, we will observe the main eye of the palm tree completely drooping, practically looking towards the ground. Also, the vast majority of the leaves that accompany it will show signs of decay.

End-stage red palm weevil infection

5Ta Phase

It is considered that the palm tree has reached this last stage when a professional verifies that the larvae have finished with the yolk of the specimen, making its recovery unviable.

The visual appearance of the palm tree in this case is very similar to that of Phase 4. But if this situation has developed for a long time, we will find the main eye of the palm tree completely detached and the palms decayed or dry.

At this point, the only possible solution is Cutting down the palm tree, not because the red palm weevil treatment was not effective but because it was not started in time.

Palm tree fumigation methods for the treatment of red palm weevil

Spray with gun

By spraying with a gun we achieve a highly effective result in the red palm weevil treatment, since the angle of application is very wide. In this way, a large part of the palm tree can be fumigated with a quick application. This product is left on the palm trees so that it impregnates well and prevents the development of the pest.

Pole use

This method in the red palm weevil treatment is used for the tallest specimens, which cannot be completely fumigated with the gun due to its short range.

The pole allows the entire specimen to be fumigated correctly, since it positions the product wall tube in a higher position. With a pole we can fumigate all the Walloon and the central leaves of the palm tree effectively.

Injections or endotherapy

To carry out this technique within the red palm weevil treatment, we make injections of product that perforate the trunk of the specimen and protect it from the inside. If this technique will be performed on Phoenix Canariensis specimens, from Raíz Verde we recommend that the product be complemented with some spraying.
