This study aimed to evaluate the effects of thermal treatment with 40, 50, 70 and 90°C and different doses of gamma radiation from 40 to 350 Gy on Sitotroga cerealella stages. The result demonstrated that the LD50 of gamma-irradiation was 57.7, 61.9 and 74.0 Gy in irradiated eggs, pupae, and larvae, respectively. Concomitantly, the complete mortality (100 %) of heat treatment was recorded at 40°C, while the 90°C caused 100 % mortality to larva and egg stages. The results indicated that the egg stage is highly sensitive to irradiation doses than larvae and pupal stages, while the pupal stage is highly sensitive to the heat treatments than eggs and larval stages. Consequently, treatment with low doses 80 Gy and low heat condition 40°C was more effective than the other combination treatments. The results suggested that 80 Gy & 40°C was an effective treatment to prevent the reproduction of S. cerealella and could use for managing this pest with was the environment.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.

The obtained data showed that the occurrence of aphids' species on pear and plum trees covered the whole four months of study (March-June, 2019). Aphids' populations were the highest in their numbers, during the two months April and May 2019, on both the two trees species. The results indicated also that, the existence periods of aphids' individuals on both pear and plum trees were the same as those recorded in case of the predator C. carnea. A field experiment was performed by putting pheromone traps on plum trees (during the fruiting season from the second half of May to the first half of July, 2019). Highest total number of the peach fruit fly Bactrocera zonata males was recorded in pheromone traps during the first half of June, 2019 (when using one or two pheromone capsules on the same glued sheets, on the same plum tree). Generally, the lacewing predator C. carnea can be massed reared in the laboratory and released for controlling aphids on pear and plum trees and/or other fruit trees that are subjected to attack by the two aphids' species. Besides, the pheromone traps can be used against the peach fruit fly B. zonata on plum trees and/or fruit trees that suffer from pest attack. The uses of either C. carnea and/or pheromone traps can be applied with other available safe control methods, in the frame of Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M.) programs, for protecting man heath and the surrounding environment from pollution.","PeriodicalId":11401,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, F.
