Observational analysis identifies seasonal patterns of red palm weevil populations in date groves, suggesting control measures may need adjustment.
AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the population dynamics of red plam weevil in Kachchh, Gujarat, using pheromone traps from 2020 to 2024. Results indicated a distinct seasonal pattern, with peak populations observed during post-monsoon and early winter (September to December) while lower population were recorded in the summer months (April to June). A rising trend in RPW populations was noted in recent years, with the highest monthly mean population of 18.43 recorded in December.
