⚫Rhynchophorus Cruentatus |Red Weevil | Red Insects | The Red Beetle Tree.
hi friend steemit, on this occasion I want to introduce one of the main beetle species that become pest on coconut tree.
Rhynchophorus is the genus of beetles in the family of beetles, Curculionidae. The mosquito net of the Rhynchophorus genus is the main pest of coconut trees throughout the tropics.
Beetle of this most fierce coconut tree pest The shape is thinner and slightly smaller than other beetles.Has a slightly red yellow and dark brown or blackish color. Has one horn facing down or horn as a tool to cut and make a hole in the coconut tree trunk.
This beetle makes a hole in the stem of the Coconut Tree as a place to live and lay eggs. Simultaneously as a home for cocoon and make Trunk of Coconut Tree as its food.
⚫As a result of the behavior of Hama
Seen clearly on the stem of coconut trees that hollow this is caused by red beetle pest (Rhynchophorus Cruentatus).
If the existence of this coconut tree pest is allowed to be more easy to breed and make this Coconut Tree Trunk more fragile and will damage the quality of Coconuts in general. Wood coconut trunks are also not able to be utilized properly because of poor quality of stems.
The prevention of the life of the red beetle (Rhynchophorus Cruentatus) can be reduced by removing or removing immediately the remaining Coconut Tree Trunks that are still around the coconut plantation. This dead rod will be the home and reproduction of the red beetle (Rhynchophorus Cruentatus) very well.
