31 March 2017, Rome--- The Scientific Consultation and High-Level Meeting on Red Palm Weevil focused on containing the pest's spread. Advances in integrated pest control were shared such as the targeted and reduced use of insecticides and bio-pesticides, low-cost, highly-sensitive microphones that can detect larvae feeding inside a tree, pheromone-based traps, drones, remote-sensing, and sniffer dogs. During the high-level session today, government representatives are expected to discuss and adopt a multi-disciplinary and multi-regional strategy that includes effective implementation of cross-border phytosanitary standards.
Opening statement by José Graziano da Silva, FAO Director-General.
