Abstract
Deciding on which phytosanitary emergency measures shall be applied in a delimited area is associated with many difficulties. Compulsory measures may strongly affect citizens, municipalities, nurseries and other third parties involved. Studies carried out in the Marche region (Central-Eastern Italy) during 2007–10 aimed to limit the spread of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (red palm weevil) in a demarcated area, according to EU Decision 2007 ⁄ 365 ⁄ EC. The efficacy of several tools, which may be included into an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy for R. ferrugineus control (pest survey, mass trapping, integrated approach based on spherical pruning plus application of chemical insecticides and biological control agents for curative treatment of already infested plants) was evaluated. All methods tested proved to be promising tools for IPM of R. ferrugineus. A detailed description is provided of the compulsory measures applied in the Marche region and the experimental trials on IPM control tools.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
