The CNR of Rome, is doing some researchs that seems to give a really good results, and soon we should have an effective weapon against the weevil. I apologize for the conditional

Pratically researchers have captured thousands of weevils with pheromone traps , sterilized them with a particular method, and infected them with a virus that kills in a short time

The tests performed in laboratories are very encouraging. All females came in contact with contaminated male weevils were immediately contaminated and died after few days

If all goes well, obtained the necessary permits, will be released the first bunch of contaminated weevils in areas with main problems

Researchers think that in a period of five / six years, we will finally have completely eradicated weevil from our gardens

We keep our fingers crossed

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Max:

thiswis wonderful news!

Many Thanks,

merrill

I hope they can do the same thing with the Agave weevil. It's really incredibly resilient!

Also, DEATH TO THE CYCAD WEEVIL, while they're at it!

Gene

Let's just hope all the countries and local administrations are able to muster a coordinated effort otherwise I fear hot spots will remain and re-infect the cleared areas.

Sounds promising Max,thanks for sharing! Could you maybe post the paper of the research? smilie.gif
