Abstract
With the objective to improve the trapping system of the red weevil of the palm (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, Olivier, 1790), several experimentations were carried out using olfactive traps in three parcels of palms (Phoenix dactylifera and P. canariensis) in the rural part of Elche with attack of R. ferrugineus. The influence of the position, of the design and of the colour of the trap as well as the effectiveness of two types of pheromone dispenser (Ferrolure+ and Ferag RF D TM) were evaluated by comparing the number of captures. During one year, was registered weakly the number of trapped adults distinguishing males and females. The biggest number of captures was obtained during the three months of summer season. The number of trapped female was 2,5 than the males one. The brown-reddish color traps and camouflaged ones captured more than those of white color. Significant differences were not observed between the two types of dispensers of pheromone that have been tried. The traps buried in floor captured more than those placed in height.
