| Economische impact (toelichting) |
The red palm weevil can have high economic impact. It is a pest species of ornamental palms in southern Europe and in palm nurseries. In Europe, emergency measures are required when this species is found. In the Netherlands, inspections on ca 100 locations (mostly palm nurseries) were performed, due to the finding of one individual of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus. |
