Abstract： A technique for rearing Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Fab. on sugarcane was introduced in this paper. A slice of fresh sugarcane was placed in a culture dish in incubator, and the rearing conditions were as temperature (26±1)℃, RH 80%±10%, and photoperiod L∶D = 0∶24 Using this method, the generation span, the average weight of mature larvae, the egg numbers, and the generation survival rate of R. ferrugineus was 130.80 d, 5.51 g, 14442, and 21.67%, respectively. The method did not change the bionomics characteristic of the insect with low cost, and can be used to rear red palm weevil.
