Have recently been detected again in Jumilla five affected by red palm weevil in the Paseo Poet Lorenzo Guardiola, despite preventive treatments being made every year.
A palm appeared with symptoms in the last two weeks is already practicing them surgery and treatment were also made directly to the trunk endotherapy.
When symptoms appear on the palms and the palm bud already has the plague in a considerable number inside.
Keep in mind that a palm weevil can be affected without presenting symptom and these appear within two to three years.
Palms affected last year are responding well to the surgery performed and Endo, which involves injecting the product directly into the tree.
Technicians believe that the spray is a less expensive and more reliable economic system.
The problem does not come from the gardens and public spaces, as on those palm trees there is regular monitoring and appropriate treatment.
The clear and serious threat comes from private homes, or worse yet, the abandoned.
Every day more palm trees are seen in fields bordering the population with symptoms of this plague.
The largest sources of infection come from these, since the weevil can fly quite a distance, attracted by the smell that pruning cuts or cut produced in the palm, as court dates, palms or removing suckers.
It remembers that the Ordinance parks and Woodland Viario establishes a specific section on the protection of palms, including private.
The requirement for the cooperation of citizens inventory of palm trees, as well as the ways to do the transplant, felling, planting and pruning of palms, remembering that the latter work is prohibited from March to November and is subject to established sanction any breach.
