The common problems with date palms (https://abodelook.com/knowledge-hub/date-palms/) are fungal diseases, fusarium wilt, and leaf spot, as well as pests, including red palm weevils or scale insects. These are manifested in yellowing fronds, sluggish growth or rotting fruits. Management includes appropriate irrigation to prevent waterlogging, pruning of afflicted fronds, use of appropriate fungicides/insecticides and general health-induced maintenance of the trees in order to increase natural resistance.
