An overview of evaluating the efficacy of microbial pathogens for biological control of the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) insights from laboratory and field studies
Abstract Background This overview explores the use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), fungi (EPFs), bacteria (EPBs), and viruses (EPVs) as biological control strategies against the red palm weevil (RPW) (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), a significant pest of date palms in Saudi Arabia.
