HI Karen/Colin

this tells why the phoenix is going

HI ALL
a bit of information to digest


P FOR PHOENIX CANARIENSIS AT THE TRIA ADELPHIA
The phoenix it has gone now been cut down


 

The palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus is one of two species of snout beetle known as the red palm weevil, Asian palm weevil or sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between two and four centimeters long, and are usually a rusty red colour—but many colour variants exist and have often been classified as different species (e.g., Rhynchophorus vulneratus). Weevil larvae can excavate holes in the trunk of a palm trees up to a metre long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, the weevil is considered a major pest in palm plantations, including the coconut palm, date palm and oil palm.[2]

Originally from tropical Asia, the red palm weevil has spread to Africa and Europe, reaching the Mediterranean in the 1980s. It was first recorded in Spain in 1994,[3] and in France in 2006. Additional infestations have been located in Malta and Italy (Tuscany, Sicily, Campania, Sardinia, Lazio, Marche, Puglia and Liguria). It is also well established throughout most of Portugal, especially in the South.[4] It also has established in Morocco, Tunisia, and other North African countries.[5] The weevil was first reported in the Americas on Curaçao in January 2009[6] and sighted the same year in Aruba.[7] It was reported in the United States at Laguna Beach, CA late in 2010[8][9]
                                               INSECTICIDE

The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (1790), is a lethal pest of palms worldwide. In Italy, RPW severely damage Phoenix canariensis. Infested palms can recover if treated at an early stage of infestation. Therefore the aim of this study was to to describe an IPM programme for RPW control by endotherapy as a safe measure in urban and periurban area. A new apparatus was developed to inject insecticides (Imidaclopride, Dimethoate and fenthion) into the trees. High productivity and less cost of apparatus are importent to cotrol wide area infested by RPW. This injection chemical control method is environmentaly friendly with any polution drived from draft of insecticides during treatment. High human saftey is considered for worker and implementers.




This is why Arillas  are losing this lovely plant

M IS FOR ME TOO
, certain repetitive features of a boring nature
Emeralddragons

A tad sad , that is , and a question has to be asked ,"Boring to a few or boring to many?? - I sometimes find it boring but can take and accept that others are doing their very best to try and maintain an interest for the majority. The Arillas forum could be compared to a large spread of various foods for a banquet. You select what you feel is good for you and leave the rest for others.
Treat the forum like a selection of PJ's speedos - Sometimes they fit and other times??....................................... well!!!
Cheers
