Unfortunately I could not, nor I, nor any of the attendees, leave the meeting happy Phytomer at the University of Valencia. More of the same, was what we all commented. Meanwhile, the situation is becoming more chaotic and the weevil continues to invade areas beyond the Mediterranean littoral coast and even to cities such as Zaragoza. This is not me talking, but was quoted in the meeting.


And now, what will happen with our palm red weevil?.
Although I will say it is regrettable not want to create alarm but make an urgent call for prevention. and of course action by both public and private. I had the opportunity to see date palms lying about the attacks received by the weevil in them, Washingtonias pierced at its base, phoenix canariensis holes in the stipe at an unusually seen so far, a few meters above the ground , or palm Trachycarpus (Chamaerops humilis, our native palm, like the accompanying photos), dead after attack beetle. Is to get to tremble because they are not only our historic palm trees or ornamental heritage, or even as our natural heritage (palm). Security is another issue that people should keep in mind, especially those that serve public entities, and that begins to show that the murderer weevil attack without mercy to all our monocots once established in the Canary Island date palm (which are .) falling leaves or a flange of a palm tree is dangerous, but tear down the stipe to the ground, he did not think and you have gone.

Also launched several questions that I am not able to answer:
- How long we will be polluting our environment with pesticides?
- How long can we use them, after learning that the European legislation tends to the gradual reduction in shareholders' using them for biological control?
- sanitation Can we performed continuously or therapeutic pruning the units that are affected despite the treatments, because the majority of individuals still do not act?
- How long will continue tapping the palm trees to make the application products?, Will they be able to endure much longer these operations?.
