As a significant pest in diverse agroecosystems globally, the red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae), is frequently identified as the Asian palm weevil. Several different pests affect date palms Phoenix dactylifera L, but R. ferrugineus (Olivier) is a significant problem. It is spreading across date palm plantation countries and among them. Despite that, RPW is a pest of the coconut in the South and Southeast Asian regions, where it has been a significant pest for many years. RPW is being reported from Sochi in Russia and East Africa in Djibouti, where it is gaining a foothold in the Caucasian region. As of now, RPW-IPM programs, based on pheromone and bait trapping techniques, besides others, had limited success in terms of focusing on RPW pest problems. As a result, this study focused on reviewing the existing knowledge of RPW’s different aspects with the primary goal of revealing the actual research situation. The present review highlights different management strategies of palm weevil to protect date palms. It was impressive to see the results achieved using chemical pesticides on plantations to mitigate RPW infestations. Nevertheless, they pose a significant threat due to their adverse effects on environment and physiological resistance. It is imperative to collaborate and organized to develop new protocol and surveillance program to mitigate RPW by a joint collaboration in national and international level in the form of funding and research plans implementation.
