Don - very special Birthday Wishes to you !!! 59 already? Ron

today i poked in a hole that i discovered after pruning my palms and that's what i found inside ... it was dead as you can see ... after almost 2 months of soaking my palms with the following chemicals (i dont like chemicals but i really didnt want to see my palms die) chemicals used: (dosages for 5 liters) chloropyrofos 20ml xellona 50ml warrant 10ml actellic 10ml now that you've seen the "monster" do you think its the red palm weevil or Paysandisia archon ?

What a great turnout! I didn't think we'd see more than 3 or 4 people, but the weather calmed down and I bet we had maybe 150 show up! Thanks to all who came out and all the nice words and shareing of our passion for palms and plants. Sometimes it's easy to take what you have for granted, but thru shareing with others it can open your eyes and get fresh perpectives of what a fine group of folks we all are!

Good morning I am presently in East Africa for an expertise on date palm culture development but I try to follow the exchanges on Palmtalk. I am very pleased to see the active mobilization for early detection. That is exactly what must be done, intensified and maintained for several months to stop the pest dispersal and succeed its eradication. Congratulation to Ron and others for encouraging this fundamental activity. Public meeting and training should be organized as soon as possible to mobilize as many people as possible on early detection and immediate sanitation. Regards. Michel
