Red palm weevil (RPW) is a detrimental pest, which has wiped out many palm tree farms worldwide. Early detection of RPW is challenging, especially in large-scale farms. Here, we introduce the combination of machine learning and fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) techniques as a solution for the early detection of RPW in vast farms. Within the laboratory environment, we reconstructed the conditions of a farm that includes an infested tree with ∼12 day old weevil larvae and another healthy tree. Meanwhile, some noise sources are introduced, including wind and bird sounds around the trees. After training with the experimental time- and frequency-domain data provided by the fiber optic DAS system, a fully-connected artificial neural network (ANN) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) can efficiently recognize the healthy and infested trees with high classification accuracy values (99.9% by ANN with temporal data and 99.7% by CNN with spectral data, in reasonable noise conditions). This work paves the way for deploying the high efficiency and cost-effective fiber optic DAS to monitor RPW in open-air and large-scale farms containing thousands of trees.

The World

Date palm offshoots represent an important source of planting material in many date palm-growing countries around the world. Infestation by the red palm weevil ((RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), the longhorn beetle ((LHB) Jebusaea hammerschmidti) and the rhinoceros beetle ((OB) Oryctes spp.) hinders commercialization and movement of these offshoots. An effective quarantine protocol, with exposure period of 72 h at 25 °C using ECO2FUME (EF) with phosphine concentration of 1500 ppm has been developed for date palm offshoots against these coleopteran internal tissue borers.
