Abstract
Although Date palm plantation is expanding in Tunisia, the commercial quality
of dates didn’t show a substantial improvement, because of pest damage, notably
Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller, or pyrale of caroubs., In addition to the
pods of caroub, the larva feeds on a variety of fruits such as quinces,
pomegranates, oranges, figs and notably dates on which it causes considerable
damage, which can reach 20 % of the national production. Oligonychus
afrasiaticus Mc Gregor became a major problem for date palm production,
because of the considerable damage it causes on dates. The present situation and
the perspective of date palm pests control will be presented. |
