Abstract
Monitoring palm frond borer (PFB) beetles, Phonapate frontalis and red palm weevils (RPW), Rhynchophorous ferrugineus adults were performed at Abo hezian village, Kassassen district, Ismailia Governorate during the period from January, 2020 to December 31, 2021. The results obtained during the two successive seasons of study showed that the simple correlation (r) values were positive and highly significant during two seasons, 2020 and 2021 between number ofPFBbeetles attracted to light trap and number of infested palm with red palm weevils &adult number of red palm weevils captured in pheromone traps where the number of infested palm were increased by increasing the number of PFBbeetles in same zone. For example in first season, 2020 the highest average number of infested palm trees with RPW during July (35) accompanied with the highest average number of PFBadult attracted to light trap during July (93) and RPW adult during April (89) while in the second season ,2021 the highest average number of infested palm trees with RPW during August (42) accompanied also with the highest average number ofPFBadult attracted to light trap during July (98) accompanied with the highest average number of RPWadult during April (92).Generally, to achieve more capturing effectiveness of aggregation pheromone traps and light trap in controlling RPW and  PFB also infested number of date palm trees in palm plantation.
