The Balearic government yesterday approved a decree to tackle the problem of the “picudo rojo” or red beetle that has been responsible for the destruction of palm trees. Under the decree, there are to be specific phytosanitary measures, meaning measures aimed at protecting plant life from risks. These will place obligations on growers, distributors and importers of sensitive palms. The decree also establishes that each of the islands be demarcated according to the fight against the red beetle pest.
