Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Four bacterial isolates were recovered from red pest weevil-infested date palm tissues.
- Observation Three of the four isolates were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
- Observation One isolate was identified as Burkholderia cepacia.
- Intervention effect All isolates caused rot of germinated date palm seeds, up to 40%.
- Intervention effect All isolates caused wilt and root rot of date palm seedlings, 40-100%.
- Intervention effect P. aeruginosa isolate No. 3 caused 100% root rot incidence in date palm seedlings.
- Intervention effect Burkholderia cepacia showed the lowest degree of seed rot, mortality and root rot incidence in date palm seedlings.
- Intervention effect P. aeruginosa isolate No. 1 and B. cepacia caused a high loss in weight of date palm petiole tissues, about 10%.
- Recommendation The authors recommend an integrated management program with both antibacterial and insecticidal preparations against the red pest weevil to avoid further negative effects on the palm trees.
