Plant endotherapy in Mallorca involves injecting phytosanitary treatments directly into the vascular system of the tree or palm. At Garden Solution we apply this technique with an official phytosanitary licence for the treatment and prevention of the red palm weevil and other pests.
Plant endotherapy is a technique that injects phytosanitary treatments directly into the vascular system of the tree or palm. The product is distributed internally throughout the plant, reaching areas where external spraying cannot act.
It is more effective than spray treatments because it acts from within the tree, and it considerably reduces the impact on the surrounding environment: there is no product drift, it does not affect beneficial insects outdoors and it does not require specific weather conditions to be applied.
Systemic action: the product reaches the whole plant from within
Greater effectiveness against internal pests such as the red palm weevil
Lower environmental impact than external spraying
Can be applied at any time of year
Compatible with preventive protocols on healthy palm trees
In Mallorca, the main use of plant endotherapy is the treatment of the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), the most destructive pest for the palm trees of the Balearic Islands. The insect lays its larvae inside the trunk, where they develop out of reach of conventional spray products.
Endotherapy is the most effective technique for reaching these larvae from within, and it is used both in curative treatments — when the palm is already affected — and in preventive protocols to protect healthy palm trees in areas with a high incidence of the pest.
We also apply it in the treatment of other diseases and pests that require systemic action on ornamental trees. If your tree shows symptoms that do not improve with conventional treatments, the free technical visit is the first step.
A complete team at your service
The red palm weevil is the most serious pest for the palm trees of Mallorca. Endotherapy is the most effective treatment currently available.
The red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) lays its eggs inside the palm tree. The larvae develop in the crown, destroying the internal tissue. By the time the external symptoms are visible, the internal damage is already advanced. Early detection is key.
Endotherapy injects the treatment directly into the palm's vascular system, distributing it up to the crown where the larvae are found. It is the method with the highest success rate on palm trees with an active infestation, and the only one that acts where the problem is.
There is no need to wait until the palm shows symptoms. We apply regular preventive protocols on healthy palm trees located in areas with a high incidence of the red palm weevil. Treating before an infestation is always more effective and less costly than treating a palm that is already affected.
The products used in endotherapy for treating the red palm weevil are regulated phytosanitary products. Their application is only permitted to companies and professionals with an official phytosanitary licence. We hold this authorisation and work within current legislation.
