Abstract
Laboratory trails were conducted in order to set up rearing program for red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus. Olv. for use in different experimental researches .An artificial diet specified for red palm weevil was created. One kilogram of the artificial diet made from local materials could rear 6 larvae for about 3 months with approximated cost 3 L.E.
