The selected area was split into 6 plots and the control plot. Two alternative products include Chlorpyriphos (OP's), and Chlorflurzoran (IGR's) were sprayed by using Rotary Matabi sprayer (18 L./fed.) on cotton field highly infested with cotton Spiny bollworm, Earias insulana larvae. All tested Insecticides revealed a significant negative influence on Earias insulana larvae. The most effective on reduction percentages of bolls infestation was Chlorpyriphos withNU-FILM -17 SPREADER®1% ,5% followed by Chlorflurzoran withNU-FILM -17 SPREADER® 1% ,5% with Rotary Matabi sprayer (18 L./fed.). It could be recommended to use these Insecticides with Low Volume spraying equipment with not less than (18L/Fed.). A satisfactory coverage was obtained on cotton plants. The spectrum of droplets ranging between 120-170 mm (VMD). With sufficient number ranging from 13-265 N/cm². The rate of performance of Rotary Matabi sprayer (18 L./fed.). was 2.4 Fed./day. The results indicated that there was no significant difference between using NU-FILM -17 SPREADER® 1% or 5% in reduction percentages of bolls infestation. Using both Chlorpyriphos and Chlorflurzoran with NU-FILM -17 SPREADER® 1% could be recommended in controlling Spiny bollworm, Earias insulana larvae because it increased droplets numbers 54%, decreased droplet sizes 17 % and minimized lost spray on ground 44% which made good spray quality, homogeneity and spray coverage. Also, Low Volume spraying reducing the time lost in the process filling the machines with the spray solution and saving the lost spray on the ground certainly in small plantation around villages.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of Farnesol and its effects on the growth, development, and morphogenesis of this insect. The newly moulted larvae of 5th (penultimate) or 6th (last) instar larvae were fed on castor bean leaves previously treated with 7 concentrations of Farnesol (400, 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 & 6.25 ppm) for 24 hr. The most important results could be summarized as follows. After treatment of 5th or 6th instar larvae with Farnesol, various mortalities were recorded among larvae, pupae, and adults. Depending onLC50values, Farnesol exhibited stronger insecticidal activity after treatment of 6th instar larvae(LC50= 33.67 ppm) than after treatment of 5th instar larvae(LC50= 36.56 ppm). Farnesol caused a serious reduction of larval weight gain and deleterious regression of the growth rate. The larval and pupal durations had been remarkably prolonged, in a dose-dependent course. Disruption of the developmental program was recorded as a failure of ecdysis after treatment of 5th instar larvae and production of larval-pupal intermediates, regardless the treated larval instar. Farnesol exerted considerable suppressing action on the pupation. At higher concentrations, Farnesol interfered with the adult emergence, since eclosion was completely prevented at the highest concentration and partially blocked at other concentrations. Irrespective of the treated larval instar, some deformed pupae were developed only at higher two concentrations of Farnesol.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

Mycotoxins are secondary toxic fungal metabolites. There are great interests to create effective prevention and decontamination methods to diminish the toxic effects of AFs in animal and poultry production. Objectives: The present study was designed to evaluate the toxic effects of aflatoxin on performance, some hematological, serum biochemical and immunological parameters and to determine the preventive effect of added anti-mycotoxins. Methods:In this study, a total of 180 broilers were used and divided into 6 equal groups. They received zeocem (chemical synthetic anti-mycotoxin) at a dose of 1 kg/ton feed and nutritox (biological synthetic anti-mycotoxin) at a dose of 0.25 kg/ton feed, to treat broiler fed aflatoxin. All treatments were administered from 1- 42 days of age. Results: By the end of the experiment, nutritox (biological synthetic anti-mycotoxin) alleviated the hazardous effects of aflatoxin on performance, hematological, serum biochemical and immunological parameters rather than zeocem (chemical anti-mycotoxin) fed broilers. Conclusion:Treatment with biological synthetic anti-mycotoxin (nutritox) is better than using chemical synthetic anti-mycotoxin (zeocem) in control of aflatoxicosis in broilers.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

Low efficiency of biocides may be due to low compatibility with agrochemicals or poor application of biocide, so, the study carried out to evaluate the possibility of mixing five common chemical insecticides and nematicides with five compatible entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). For the control of tomato fruit borer (Helicoverpaarmigera),bioassay revealed that pesticide chlorpyrifos (Pestban 48% EC), chlorpyrifos (Tafaban 48% EC) and flubendiamide (Takumi 20% WG) were applied at the recommended dose. Flubendiamide was less toxic to EPNs infective juveniles compared to fenamiphos (Dento 40% EC). Moreover, steinernematid species were more sensitive than heterorhabditid species to pesticides recording 49.45% and 43.76%, respectively, after 7 days of exposure. The joint action of tested chemical pesticides with IJs of EPNs in controlling the 5th instar larvae of tomato fruit wormshowed an additive or antagonistic reaction with no evidence of synergistic action. Antagonism reaction was recorded with all fenamiphos combinations;the combination ofabamectin and S. feltiae as well as H. bacteriophora (Ba-1), in addition to, flubendiamide combinations with S. feltiae and H. bacteriophora (Ba-1). While, an additive effect was observed in flubendiamide combinations with S. glaseri, S. carpocapsae and H. bacteriophora (HP 88). In the greenhouse experiment, the application of EPNs alone caused mortality ranged from 28 to 36% for 5th instar larvae. Whereas, the highest larval mortality was observed in descending order for combinations between H. bacteriophora (HP88 strain) with fenamiphos (64.0%), chlorpyrifos (54%) and abamectin (54.0%), while, local isolate, H. bacteriophora (Ba-1 strain) achieved mortality ranged from 40 to 50 % with the tested pesticides.
