  • Several trials conducted by the coconut development board,kochi have indicated that pheromone traps are for the control of red palm weevil; a serious pest in coconut plantations.
  • The beetles attack the coconut trees and damage the growing parts of the palms. One beetle damages one coconut palm in its life cycle.the insect is named red palm weevil because the male bears a horn on the middle of its head.
  • In India; the beetle is widely distributed in coconut plantations.the life cycle of the beetle lasts for about six months. Adult beetles have a life span extending to 200 days or more under favorable conditions. The insect attacks the crown of the coconut tree and damages the spindle and unopened leaves.
  • This lure trap also known as bucket trap is a proven method to trap and kill the beetles. It is a specially designed bucket trap; which is supplied along with a lure.
  • The lure is placed inside a lure holder attached to the lid of the bucket. The bucket has five rectangular windows cut about 3 cms below its rim.
