Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Reliable Identification System for Red Palm WeevilSaleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Red Palm Weevil (RPW) is a widely found pest among palm trees and is known to cause significant losses every year to palm growers. Existing identification techniques for RPW comprise of using traps with pheromones to detect these pests. However, these traditional methods are labor-intensive, expensive to implement and unreliable for early detection of RPW infestation. Early detection … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 18 Jun 2012 · 7,018 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRed Palm Weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Olivier) Recognition by Image Processing TechniquesSaleh Mufleh Al-Saqer, Ghulam Mubashar HassanProblem statement: Red palm weevil is the most destructive insect for palm trees all over the world. This research is part of developing an automated wireless red palm weevil detection and control system. The focus for this study was to develop red palm Weevil recognition system which can detect RPW in an image and can be used in wireless image … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 9,099 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupport Vector Machine Based Red Palm Weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Olivier) Recognition SystemGhulam Mubashar Hassan, Saleh Mufleh Al-SaqerProblem statement: Red palm weevil (Rynchophorus Ferrugineous, Oliveir) is an insect which threatens the existence of palm trees. The proposed research is to develop a RPW identification system using Support Vector Machine method. The problem is to extract image features from an image and using SVM to find out the existence of RPW in an image. Approach: Images are snapped … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Jan 2012 · 7,734 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Putative Serine protease from Larval Midgut of Red Palm Weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae): Partial Purification and Biochemical CharacterizationAhmed Al Jabr, Mahmoud Abo-El-SaadA putative serine protease was isolated and partially purified from larval midgut of red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) using anion exchange chromatography, DE-52. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of this protease showed that the major band has a molecular weight of approximately 24 kDa corresponding to the same molecular weight of mammalian trypsin. In addition, zymography … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,018 accessesView PDF Cite
