These prey types were Aphis gossypii Glover, Macrosiphum rosae (L.), Aphis nerii Boyer and Gynikothrips ficorum Marchal . The obtained results indicated that the shortest developmental time was obtained when the larvae of C. carnea reared on M. rosae (12.07±0.53days), while the longest developmental time was recorded when the larvae of this predator fed on A. gossypii ( 15.46 ± 0.8 days ). The results showed that, the numbers of the insect species as prey consumed by a predator larval stage varied according to insect species as it averaged 194.20± 9.75; 129.28±7.56; 80.58± 4.78 and 132.33±8.42 individuals when fed on A. gossypii; M. rosae ;A. nerii and G. ficorum, respectively. The data cleared that, the second and third larval instar were the most efficient in predation. The variation in the prey typs also showed difference in the duration of the larval stage as it averaged 15.46 ± 0.86; 12.07± 0.53; 12.8±0.85 and 11.74 ±1.86 days for previously mentioned species, respectively.

The obtained results assured the effect of prey kinds on the developmental time, consumpation rate of larval stage and the longevity of male and longevity and fecundity of C. carnea female.

Lesser grain borer, R. dominica adults were exposed to B. bassiana (BIOVER ® ) conidia powder admixed with wheat kernels in different six rates w/w (weight of B. bassiana conidial powder to weight of wheat kernels) and compared to untreated (check). Mortality percentage of R. dominica adults increased with increasing rates of B. bassiana after seven days. Significant differences were observed between all tested B. bassiana rates (P=0.0001). The maximum percentage of adult mortality after seven days of exposure was achieved at the highest rate compared to the untreated. Same trend was recorded after 14 days of exposure (P= 0.0001) at the previously mentioned rates compared to the untreated check. Negative relationship between B. bassiana rate and number of emerged R. dominica adults was recorded. Significant difference (P= 0.0001) was recorded between the untreated and the treated mean numbers of adult progeny emerged. The maximum adult progeny emerged was observed in the lowest rate (0.1% w/w) averaged 100.33 adult, while the minimum adult progeny emerged was recorded in the highest rate (1.0% w/w) averaged 16 adult compare to the untreated (225.33 adult). Weight loss means varied significantly among the tested rates of B. bassiana. Increasing B. bassiana rates led to significant decrease in weight loss on wheat treated. The minimum percentage of weight loss was recorded in the highest rate (1.0% w/w) compared to the untreated wheat which showed more feeding activities of the R. dominica beetles. In addition, the untreated wheat grains infested with R. dominica was significantly more damaged by the feeding of beetles than grains treated with B. bassiana. Generally, B. bassiana treated wheat kernels significantly decrease in mean numbers of F1 emerged adult, weight loss and damage compared to untreated wheat kernels. As an alternative control method of stored product insect pests, B. bassiana could be implicated as a part of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.","PeriodicalId":16965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Protection","volume":"15 1","pages":"227-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82468555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among four governorates surveyed in 2007 and 2009 growing seasons, the disease occurred in Beheira and Qalyubia and did not occurre in Sharqia and Ismailia. In Qalyubia governorate, the number of fields that exhibited the angular leaf spot disease in both seasons was generally fewer than those in Beheira governorate. Disease intensity was higher in Beheira than Qalyubia during both seasons and was higher in 2009 than 2007 in both governorates. Among all surveyed localities, Markaz Bader had the highest disease intensity whereas Al-Deer locality had the lowest. X. fragariae was detected in plants stored in cold storage facilities at Beheira and Qalyubia governorates and the pathogen was more frequently isolatedion incidence was higher in Beheira than Qalyubia. Little variation was observed among the 15 local strains of X. fragariae with regard to their virulence and none of these strains was exceptionally virulent. There was no resistant cultivars among the 14 strawberry cultivars tested. All cultivars ranged from moderate to highly susceptible. The highest susceptible cultivars were Camarosa and Sweet Charlie.","PeriodicalId":16965,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Protection","volume":"79 1","pages":"141-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84973419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was clearly observed that, both calcium salts significantly reduced CLS disease severity with calcium chelate being more effective in CLS disease control. The levels of chitinase, β1,3 glucanase and Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of the salttreated plants were significantly increased as compared to the untreated control. Thus, both calcium chelate and chloride have a role in triggering the induction of plant resistant. The increase of chitinase, β1,3 glucanase and PPO was correlated with the reduction in disease severity. Scanning electron microscopy showed that, calcium treatments decreased the density of emerging conidiospores compared to those of untreated infected control. The stomatal guard cells of the calcium-treated leaves appeared closure than in the untreated control. This study concludes that, the two tested calcium salts have a role in inducing disease resistance as well as stomatal functioning.
