- Abstract
Aggregation pheromone (ferrolure+) has the potential for sueeessful deteetion, monitoring and management of Red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorusferrugenius. Therefore, studies were undertaken to evaluate the effeetiveness of aggregation pheromone (ferrolure+) along with synthetie inseetieides i.e., Karate 0.25 EC (Lambda-eyhlothrin), Coragen 20SC (Chlorantranliprole), Curaeron 50 EC (profenophos), Steward 150EC (indoxaearb) andTalstar 10EC (bifenthrin) for the management of RPW. Control treatments with and without ferrolure+ were also maintained. Four traps per aere were applied in eaeh study arranged in a randomized eomplete bloek design. Weekly observations were taken till the effeetiveness of ferrolure+. Results eonfirmed that addition of synthetie inseetieides showed a negative impaet on the mean eapture of RPW exeept for indoxaearb (7.59±0.89 weevils per trap) that attraet signifieantly same but eomparatively less RPW attraeted towards only ferrolure+ pheromone traps (8.74±0.96 weevils per trap). Overall RPW eaptured in remaining treatments i.e., ehlorantranliprole, lambda-eyhlothrin, profenophos and bifenthrin were 4.56+0.65 weevils per trap; (5.22+0.69) weevils per trap; 5.63+0.71 weevils per trap and 5.48+0.89 weevils per trap, respeetively. A gradual rise was reeorded in mean eapture of RPW in all treatments till week five after installation and then deelined rapidly upto week eight. More than double number of females were eaptured in traps with maximum male to female ratio (1:2.26) eaptured in lambda-eyhlothrin treatment. Therefore, it is suggested that ferrolure+ traps should be ineluded in the integrated management programs of RPW and indoxaearb pestieide, if required, may be added in trap to get maximum killing of weevils, partieularly females that will also help reduee future population growth.
