Abstract
The amended Italian Tree Vital Machine, tree vital endoplasm proved its efficiency as a very effective injection machine for palm trees, to control the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), in Italy, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
Such a patented machine has been used to inject 6 groups of 30 R. ferrugineus-infested palm trees (5 trees per group) by 6 insecticides (one/group). The insecticides were as follows: abamictin, oxydemethion, fipronil, imidacloprid, mitomyl and azdrachtin.
This method of application was found highly economical with less environmental hazards, and safe for the users.
