dc.description.abstractResults of this study can be used to guide an integrated Rhynchophorus phoenicis management system with a dual benefit of protecting plants from a weevil attack, and utilizing the weevils to improve human nutrition. Palm weevil trapping, without insecticides, could double as a pest management technique as well as a source of edible palm weevil. Palm weevils, Rhynchophorus (Coleoptera) are devastating invasive pests of palms, and as well, delicacies in many communities. This study evaluated ethylacetate and 3-methyly-octan-4-ol for trapping palm weevils from coconut, oil and raffia palms in Kenya and Uganda; taking into account the distance of traps on oil palm from a forest of raffia palm.en
