The Entomopathogenic Fungi Against the Red Palm Weevil in Gaza Strip - As a Biocontrol Agent Against RPW an Ecological Solution Toward Sustainable Agriculture

There is no doubt that the global food security is vulnerable due to massive growth of the human population, changes in global climate, the emergence of novel and more virulent pathogens, and demands from increasingly discerning consumers for chemical-free, sustainably produced food products. Microbial-based biological control agents (BCAs), if used as part of an integrated management system, may satisfy the above demands. The red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) (RPW) is one of the most destructive pests of palms in the world. Nowadays, control methods revolve around treatments based on chemicals, biotechnological systems using semichemicals or the development of the sterile insect technique and Biological control agent which locally isolated can be used with great efficacy.
