From the Department of Gardens will start the third treatment of this season against the red palm weevil, the deal is expected to more than 300 palm trees in the city.
Treatment nights of 28 and 29 September will be held.
This is the third and last to be applied in the year, coinciding with the period and dispersion of insect flight.
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 high population are severe enough to cause the death of the palm, as the larvae always remain within the palm, which are feeding, while adults are in charge of reproductive multiplication and colonization new copies, as they have ability to maintain sustained flight of four to five kilometers.
The plague is so voracious that, although they have already made several treatments, it has become to detect severely affected by palm weevil, which have already taken the appropriate action in this palm and some next to it .
