MEASURES TO STOP
THOSE PALM PESTS

 
The recent findings by a scientific committee appointed by the State Agricultural Agency and to investigate the Red Palm Weevil infestation were urgently dispatched to the Crete District’s General Secretariat.

 The findings outline measures to confront the infestation which has reached epidemic proportions, as well as measures to protect regions still not infected.

Protection measures include a periodic check (about twice a month) with two pheromone traps, placed for 24 hours, to check the flight patterns of the weevil. Also,  any planting of other palm trees, especially the canary palm variety, must be prohibited.

 
Measures for the offended regions include the immediate destruction of afflicted trees, (cutting and burial) within 24 hours. The committee also recommends using therapeutic measures for palms that are in the initial stages of infestation and can be rescued.

Also recommended is the treatment (with approved insecticides) of palms within a 1000 metre radius from the infected palms in order to prevent new offences. A general prevention measure is also to avoid pruning palms from spring through to autumn.

But more important, it was judged essential that informative booklets be dispatched to the public via water and electricity bills.
