The parasitoid mite, Rhynchopolipus rhynchophori was released against the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus stages. Released of this mite applied at four levels of treatment, A (30 parasitic mites: 1 prey), B (60 parasitic mites: 1 prey), C (90 parasitic mites: 1 prey) and D (120 parasitic mites: 1 prey). The parasitoid mites successfully suppressed population density of the red palm weevil, R. ferrugineus stages within two weeks. The killing of different developmental stages of the red palm is due to sucking their body fluid by the parasitoid mite, Rh. rhynchphori. But, the pupal weight was significantly (P < 0.5) decreased by increasing numbers of parasitoid mites at the different treatment levels.
寄生螨Rhynchopolipus rhynchophori被释放用于防治红棕象甲Rhynchophorus ferrugineus的各个虫态。这种寄生螨的释放设置了四个处理水平，A（30只寄生螨：1只猎物）、B（60只寄生螨：1只猎物）、C（90只寄生螨：1只猎物）和D（120只寄生螨：1只猎物）。寄生螨在两周内成功抑制了红棕象甲各虫态的种群密度。寄生螨Rh. rhynchphori通过吸食红棕象甲不同发育阶段虫体的体液来将其杀死。但是，在不同处理水平下，随着寄生螨数量的增加，蛹的重量显著（P < 0.5）下降。
