The cure for Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, better known as the red weevil, which is infesting the plants of the Salento Lecce exist? It seems so, in fact, the solution should be the adoption of the method Metwaly. This method, an international patent for mixtures taken and the equipment has been developed dall'Agronomo Nabawy Metwaly of Cairo, who introduced him in Italy some years ago.
The Egyptian agronomist medoto dell'endoterapia consists in that in the case of the fight against red palm weevil, according to Egyptian agronomist, may be successfully used as a form of struggle prior to the attacks on both the parasite treatment of infested plants.

I wrote a dear friend and he did it with his style "ironic" She's always giving me despite of our acquaintance had begun in 1970 at the Agricultural Technical Institute "Giovanni loan of Lecce.
My friend writes:
Good evening Doctor
Casarano in the red punch hit in recent days 5 palm trees in two separate public spaces, the question I was asked by some people to write an article to raise the issue and "push" the administration to look into the matter to an appropriate solution to save the palm trees in public gardens but also in private areas.
A specific application to the municipal engineer in charge of public property, I received the answer
They were the circumstances?, There is no chance to save the heritage palm tree?
It can provide a complete answer?
thanks,
But I must say that I am receiving requests from many quarters and in particular those of the highly respected Deputy Secretary of the City of San Cesario di Lecce: Mr. Joseph Elia.
I can certainly report what has been discussed on 14 and 15 May 2010 in the conference: "The Red Palm Weevil, new studies and experiences from the World" organized by the Municipality of San Felice Circeo to all operators in the sector from the Red nell'Association Palm Weevil & Disease (ARPW & D),
The novelty of this conference is the presence of experts from the Arab countries, where the assets palmicolo represents one of the greatest resources of the local economy, in fact throughout Saudi Arabia there are 40 million palm trees.
Carry a part of the paper given at that meeting by Luca Gugliotta, Domenico and Lorenzo Lantieri Sturlese which is based on care agronomist Nabawy Metwaly.
According to that report, the fact that care has saved a fortune of more than
60 palm trees planted in the building of Torrino, located in China Via 451 for an estimated value of approximately EUR 1.2 million. And here is the report that I wrote:
"The Method Metwaly (or endotherapic) used in this building, which is the only remaining oasis of palm trees in a neighborhood full of previously canariensis, now largely lost, got the complete elimination of the infection after the first treatment . The red weevil, the larvae and eggs have disappeared throughout the park is located, including palm trees already heavily infested. The second and third treatment were used to reinforce the palms and immunization for the future. To disseminate and promote the positive experience of Torrino the Board has also involved local administrators
and agencies responsible for protecting the public parks with excellent prospects. However, the service garden city can not cope with the epidemic that hit the palm of EUR public, so the committee decided to involve all citizens in the neighborhood, extending the model in China via a logic of subsidiarity for the benefit common. For this purpose a proposal has contributed very ambitious and original Eng Luca Gugliotta: use a geo-referenced paper, the quantitative and qualitative survey of the palms on the ground, using an open source software like Google Earth. In practice, it is mapped to a fixed territory, the presence of palms canariensis, noting their condition and possible infection and disease progression, creating a regional monitoring plan that sees the active participation of citizens for the protection of public parks. The geo-referenced paper and interactivity of the map, available on all computers connected to the Internet, on which is installed Google Earth, allows the developers to involve citizens, citizens of the neighborhood, taking advantage of the social groups they belong, such as building assemblies, associations, parishes etc. that are gradually making available to participate in the monitoring
palm trees, checking the progression of the disease in the territory. The data collected from the truth can be stored and used by experts in planning therapeutic interventions, because yellow asterisks remain in the file relating to healthy palms and the palm trees now dead, or simply infested, respectively, are marked by red and orange. The comparison with the images of death footage will help identify how well the palms now completely removed and no longer visible during inspections. Laboratories Civic Project for Italy then propose to extend monitoring to all the capital, calling for collaboration with other associations and neighborhood committees. "
However, it is good to read the words of Dr. Nabawy Metwaly which states:
"The method that after years of experimentation I have developed curculionide against the killer of palm trees, is endotherapic, which consists of a mixture of vegetable oils and essences of systemic products that are injected into the palm and translocated in all organs vegetable plant. This system represents today the most effective global and safer for users.
The method was tested in Saudi Arabia, whose economy is based on 26 million date palms whose income is 60% of GDP.
A trial lasting four years, conducted in this state, in Egypt and the UAE, where the system endotherapic was compared with traditional local and other practice internationally, has achieved excellent results. Using the system endotherapic using the new machine-Vital Endopalm Tree, based on the method Metwaly - Italian national patent application No. RM-2010-A-000243, N Egypt international 2005/472 also includes the method of application. Dr. Nabawy Metwaly claims to have achieved success in 98% of cases.
He also received the award from Saudi Arabia's 26 million palm trees and the UAE's 40 million palm trees. Other credit lines are being applied in Egypt and Lebanon. "
Also briefly by Dr. Nabawy Metwaly indications on the mixture he patented.
"The mix is made with essence of 8 vegetable oils, which are used to help the systemic translocation of products within the vascular system of the plant. In addition, the mixture has repellent properties that remain for a long time to protect the palm, favoring vegetative growth. The oils are completely natural, having made a great effort to eliminate their synthetic products. I can also reveal what these oils, and deliver samples of the mixture to the Italian authorities responsible for safeguarding the environment, but I can not reveal the individual steps of the preparation of the product. "
Sturlese Lorenzo, who is the author writes of the interview: "Well, I think you have given all the assurances to be introduced in Italy this methodology, subject to such rules only for the palm trees planted on public land. The private sector may have to perform without any problems, just as happened on Palm Oasis. "
What to write in conclusion? First we would recommend to my friends Casarano on traveling to Rome Eur Torrino Quarter condominium, located at 451 Via China to view the palm trees saved. Then contact the editors of the journal Dialogue Torrino Organ of the Parish of St. Maria Mater Ecclesiae District Eur Torrino Rome, whose Web site is http://www.dialogodeltorrino.it/.
It seems to me an answer other than "the doctor said that ... you must die" which is usually given by the owner at his palm sick upon returning from a conference or a visit to a specialist where he asked for insight into what should be done to save it.
I hope that this notice is of some use to another esteemed friend, the Deputy Secretary of the City of San Cesario di Lecce: Mr. Joseph Elias, who often tells me that his advocacy work to avert danger from the palms of his property daunting because of the excessive number of treatments! I hope your contact with the reality of the Municipality of San Felice Circeo will help you save your precious love palm trees and allowing a less personal engagement in treatment. Let me know my friends! Call and write!
