Red palm weevil (RPW), is an invasive species that attacks several palm species (Arecaceae) causing destructive economic damages. It is originated from Southeast Asia and Melanesia, due to the commercial exchanges of the offshoots among and within different countries, RPW is introduced to other regions. It was introduced to the Middle East in the mid 1980’s; it is recorded in different localities belonging to Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe and the Oceania. In order to achieve the RPW management objectives, various detection, prevention and treatment methods are tested and /or applied against RPW. Among them there are multi purpose methods that can be used for the three purposes. Actually, using one method will not give the desired result; accordingly, all tested methods should be combined in an integrated pest management strategy (IPM) for best results.
RED PALM WEEVIL book serves as a review of literature book that considers the state and progress of the fundamental and applied research on RPW. It addresses large audience such as: lecturers, undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and anyone who is interested to know about RPW.
