Important
words: Quarantine plague, methods of eradication, life cycle and taxonomy of
the beetle and long-term concerns.
Have
you recently seen fade crown palms and you don’t know why this is happening? It’s
because of the reed palm weevil plague. My research paper is about this scarab quarantine
plague which is affecting almost all the Phoenix
canariensis palm around the coastal provinces in Europe.
In
my project I have talked about how this beetle was introduced in our country as
well as from where it comes from. Moreover, I found very interesting to know
every detail of its taxonomy and life cycle (Oviposition, larvae and adult). You
can also find in my research paper all the palms attacked by the beetle called Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, the methods
used to eradicate this wicked infestation plus the future global difficulties
to eradicate the plague if this act isn’t put into more stubbornness.
From
my point of view I personally think it’s good to get to know this social
problem so as to shout out to the gardeners and the town halls to put on
treatment the affected palms.
