RED PALM WEEVIL TREATMENT: ENDOTHERAPY

  •

Endotherapy is the most effective treatment to eliminate red palm weevil. It is a very clean and safe technique with the environment and with the manpower, since the insecticide does not come into contact with the environment.

Endotherapy consists of providing a very small dose of an insecticide in the central area of ​​the trunk. The vascular bundles transfer the product to the bud.

The larvae die when ingesting the insecticide that circulates through the sap of the treated palm.
