From the Department of Gardens of the City of Jumilla will be performed on the nights of the next Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 April the first treatment of this season against the red palm weevil, with which it is expected to treat more than 300 palm trees in the city .
It is done at this time because it coincides with the period of flight and dispersal of the insect.
The purpose of these treatments is to keep the plague at bay, slowing the reproduction of the insect, because the female is capable of laying 300 to 400 eggs.
Damage caused by such a high population are so severe that end the life of the palm, as the larvae always remain within the palm, which are feeding, while adults are responsible for reproductive multiplication and colonization new copies, as they have ability to maintain sustained flights between cuatroycincokilómetros.La plague is so voracious, that despite these treatments, has again found a severely affected by the weevil palm, which have already been carried out actions appropriate in this palm and some close to her.
