The red palm weevil (RPW) is a notorious phytophagous pest infesting various palm species around the world. In Malaysia, the RPW was known to cause damage on coconuts in the East Coast regions of the Peninsula and posed risks to oil palms. Thus, early detection and monitoring studies of RPW in both coconuts and oil palms by using acoustic sensors were carried out at Dungun, Terengganu and Tanah Merah, Kelantan. The smart sensor identified the presence of RPW within the coconuts and oil palms. Continuous monitoring of RPW using acoustic sensors is needed to avoid the risk of spreading of this cryptic borer, especially in oil palm plantations.

红棕榈象鼻虫（RPW）是一种臭名昭著的食植物性害虫，侵害了世界各地的各种棕榈树种。在马来西亚，众所周知，RPW对半岛东海岸地区的椰子造成破坏，并给油棕带来风险。因此，通过使用声学传感器在椰子和油棕中的RPW进行了早期检测和监测研究，该研究在吉兰丹州登嘉楼的Dungun和吉兰丹州Tanah Merah进行。智能传感器识别出椰子和油棕中是否存在RPW。需要使用声传感器对RPW进行连续监测，以避免散布这种隐秘钻r的风险，尤其是在油棕种植园中。
