As well, their rapid degradation in the environment and increased specificity do not harm beneficial insects. A method for the determination of Neem oil residues in eggplant (Solanum melongenaL.) by GC/Ms Mass is described. In this study, the effect of Neem essential oil (Azadirachta indica Juss) as biopesticide on the economical production of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) was investigated. Prior to use, the volatile and organic constituents of commercial applied Neem essential oil were identified using FTIR analysis. After application, Azadirachtin is an active ingredient in neem oil which appears to cause 90% of the effect on most sucking pests. Among them, the major constituents are triterpenes known as limonoids, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Floride and Carbon atoms. Neem oil residues were detected in all samples from eggplant which were collected from the field after 12, 24 days of spraying. It appears that no effective material residue present.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

To control these pests, chemical insecticides were intensively used. However, using chemical insecticides cannot be reliable and safe for long-term pest management solutions because of many serious problems, such as high economic cost, negative impact on the environment and human health, and some pests develop resistance towards them. Therefore, the present study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of releasing the egg parasitoid, Trichogramma evanescenes, against some date palm fruits at Al Mansoureyah, Imbaba, Giza Governorate, Egypt during two successive growing season, 2018 and 2019. Two traditional chemicals were also used, Pyriban and sulfur. The results showed the successful release of the parasitoid as the high reduced infestation rate observed during the growing seasons 2018 and 2019 compared to conventional methods. So, T. evanescenes is a successful and reliable control method to be used on long- and short-term strategy.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

The results of the laboratory experiment showed that ASA exhibited nematicdal activity against 2 nd stage juveniles of nematode with a LC 50 value of 150.43 ppm. In the greenhouse experiment, the effect of ASA at three concentrations was tested against root-knot nematode on tomato plants in comparison with oxamyl nematicide as standard treatment. All plants were examined to assess disease severity based on the number of galls per root, egg masses per root, developmental stage within the root system, and average of eggs number per egg mass as well as plant growth characteristics were estimated. The results showed that all tested treatments reduced tomato root galling significantly compared with the untreated treatment. The numbers of galls/root system were (6.33, 12.67, 18.67, and 28.67) for the treatments of oxamyl and 300, 200 and 100 ppm of ASA, respectively, compared with the untreated check (113) and the other parameter were in the same trend. All treatments increased shoot and root weights and lengths compared with the untreated check. In conclusion, ASA has nematicidal activity to suppress root-knot nematode infection in tomato plants. Thus, this approach could be a safe alternative to use chemical nematicides for the management of plant-parasitic nematodes.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

The percentages of mobile, immobile, and dead females were recorded two-day intervals for 30 days after treatment with all extracts assayed at different concentrations, using the dipping method. The results indicated that all extracts at different concentrations caused a significant decrease in the percentages of mobile ticks and a significant increase in the percentages of dead ones when compared with the control. The acaricidal efficacy of A. capillus-veneris and F. hygrometrica extracts may be attributed to their contents of many active phytochemical constituents that having high potential against ticks. At the highest concentration (4%), the percentage of tick mortality for methanolic extract was more efficient than ethanolic one for both plants recording 100% efficiency for A. capillus-veneris and 50% for F. hygrometrica. So, we recommended using A. capillus-veneris methanolic extract at 4% as a herbal pesticide against A. persicus which have all characters of ideal pesticides; effective (100% acaricidal activity), easily available, cheap, biodegradable (eco-friendly), and do not cause mammalian toxicity.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.
