Fera has a track record as the primary body within the UK for successfully managing large projects within the European Knowledge Based Bio-Economy (KBBE) research and development arena, having managed nearly 12% of all the UK- coordinated projects in the six years since the KBBE programme started in 2012. Meeting the increasing demand for food while balancing competing priorities for the environment and commercial enterprises is a core concern for the organisation. Currently, Fera is coordinating five European KBBE projects that have food security as their overarching objective: these projects aim to improve crop yields under conditions of drought and other external stress, eradicate and contain new pests and disease, find new sources of feedstuffs for animals farmed for human consumption, and consolidate agricultural and environmental knowledge gained from EU scientific research projects. 9212 MST EU Protocal Book Update v2_Layout 1 04/11/2015 12:27 Page 5 Fera Coordinated Projects – Consortium Partners Palm Protect Funding Partners PROteINSECT Funding Partners PRATIQUE Funding Partners Browse Funding Partners VITAL Funding Partners 9212 MST EU Protocal Book Update v2_Layout 1 04/11/2015 12:27 Page 6 TESTA Funding Partners Abstress Funding Partners Q-Detect Funding Partners Euphresco Funding Partners 9212 MST EU Protocal Book Update v2_Layout 1 04/11/2015 12:27 Page 7 Pa m Protect Strategies for the eradication and containment of the invasive pests Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier and Paysandisia archon Burmeister Universities Businesses Research Institutes Research abstract Palm Protect aims to develop reliable methods, for use by assessment and optimisation of monitoring and control national plant protection organisations (NPPO), inspection methods. 2) To combat the spread and establishment of R. services, growers and other end-users, for the early detection, ferrugineus and P. archon by the development of technologies eradication, control and containment of the red palm weevil, for the early detection and monitoring of these pests in Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and the Paysandisia archon . quarantine (chemical and acoustic detection) and in open Palm Protect will address gaps in current technology thereby areas (using trapping, aerial imaging, and a decision support helping to minimise the economic and environmental impacts system). 3) To develop chemical, biological and novel methods of these invasive pests. to eradicate, control and contain R. ferrugineus and P. archon , to restrict their further invasion of EU territories. 4) To develop The methods will be developed for use at origin, point of entry, an economic model to assess both the economic value of what in transit and on-site to combat these invasive pests of palm is at risk and the costs and benefits of the effective control trees.

  • Integrated Pest Management Against Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus
    Integrated Pest Management against Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Paysandisia archon (Burmeister, 1880) (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) on palms In Cyprus, the majority of palms grown on the island are more of historic and decorative interest and less of date production. In the case of palm pests, the problem of their control is not an entomological one, but mainly, one of management. For the successful management of economically important pests like red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and palm borer Paysandisia archon (PA), it is mandatory to adopt a combination of methods and approaches, including public awareness campaigns (lectures, seminars, training, information posted on the Agricultural Research Institute and the Department of Agriculture websites, informative leaflets/posters, radio and TV presentations, popular articles in local magazines and newspapers), quarantine, cultural, mechanical, biological, pheromone trapping, chemical treatments, etc. Before launching any pest control programme, the quantitative relationship between yield and/or palm tree losses and pest population levels are estimated in order to compute the economic injury level for each pest. Therefore, combined use of all the available management measures in a rational way is the basis for the development of integrated pest control strategies. For the success of IPM, all methods listed above should be combined in a judicious manner and implemented accordingly. Just following a few methods and neglecting other proven methods

Native to South America (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay), it was first found in Europe in 2001, and it is currently present in France, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Spain. Larvae have been recorded feeding on palms in the following genera: Brahea, Butia, Chamaerops, Cocos, Latania, Livistona, Phoenix, Sabal, Syagrus, Trithrinax, Trachycarpus, and Washingtonia; although it appears that this species can expand its host range when introduced to new areas. Larvae bore into the trunks of palms, causing serious damage or even plant death. Larvae overwinter in the palm, and may take up to two years to develop.

  • PRA for the Accidental Introduction of Rhynchophorus Ferrugineus (Red Palm Weevil) Into Ghana
    PRA for the accidental introduction of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (red palm weevil) into Ghana Pest: Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (red palm weevil) Country/area at risk: Ghana Date created: 22 March 2021 Last modified: 14 June 2021 PRA number: P05557 Scope of PRA The red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) is highly invasive and has recently expanded beyond its natural range from southern and southeast Asia westwards, over vast areas of the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin. It also has become established on the islands of Aruba and Curacao in the southern Caribbean. Although it may still take some time until its spread reaches Ghana by natural dispersal, it remains a possibility that the species will use other countries in Africa as stepping stones for further dispersal, possibly reaching Ghana. Apart from natural spread, currently, the only major and likely pathway of introduction of R. ferrugineus is through the import of palm trees with a stem diameter >5 cm. If the species were to be accidentally introduced to Ghana, the likelihood of establishment and rapid spread throughout the country is high. This is mainly based on the wide availability of host plants for its development, combined with a suitable climate throughout the year, and its ability to rapidly self-disperse as flying adult weevils. This would pose a significant threat to the production of oil palm, a commodity that is just starting to increase in importance in Ghana. PRA Area Whole country of Ghana Reason for PRA Demo or test PRA Do previous PRAs exist for this pest? Yes Details of previous PRAs for the pest in the PRA area This is the first PRA for red palm weevil risk to Ghana.

Simple Summary: Biological invasions are one of the most critical problems today. Invaders have been damaging tree- and shrub-dominated ecosystems. Among these harmful species, a notable role belongs to bark beetles and borers. Extensive phytosanitary measures are needed to prevent their penetration into new regions. However, the lists of quarantine pests should be reasonably brief for more effective prevention of invasion of potentially harmful insects. Our goal is to reveal the set of biological traits of invasive bark beetles and borers that are currently known. We identified four invasion strategies. Inbred, the first one is characterized by inbreeding, parthenogenesis, polyvoltin- ism, xylomycetophagy, flightless males, polyphagy, to less extent by association with pathogenic fungi. For the second, polyphagous, typical traits are polyphagy, feeding on wood, high fecundity, distance sex pheromones presence, development for one year or more. The third strategy, intermediate, Citation: Demidko, D.A.; Demidko, possesses such features as mono- or olygophagy, feeding on inner-bark, short (one year or less) N.N.; Mikhaylov, P.V.; Sultson, S.M.
