The larvae damage the vascular system of the trees, eventually causing their death. Detection of weevil activity is challenging because the pests are well-hidden, developing within the crown and stipe (stem) of the tree. We developed a sensor that identifies distinct sounds made by the larvae, facilitating the development of a human-and-machine learning system to detect infested palm trees. This system has a sensitivity of approximately 80% at an early stage of infestation, before symptoms become apparent. This prototype system could become the basis of a commercial tool for early detection of red palm-weevil infestation in date-palm plantations and ornamental palms.
