The Effect of the Hight of the Pheromone Traps Type Delta in Trapping and Forecasting the Emergence of the Lesser Date Moth, Batrachedra amydraula Meyrick and Evaluating the Sensitivity of Some Palm Varieties to Insect Injury. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(3): 226-232. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.3.226232 During the 2021-2022 season field study conducted in Anbar governorate to determine the population dynamics of Batrachedra amydraula using pheromone traps (Alpha scenes Inc. West Linn) and the effect of trap height on number of male insects traped. In addition, host preference and sensitivity of date palm varieties to infestation with the insect was also evaluated. The results obtained showed that the first appearance of the insect was at the end of the third week of March with an average of 2 insects/trap at a temperature of 16.5°C and 51.5% RH. The number of insects caught in the trap reached a peak during the first week of June at an average of 139 insect/trap, at a temperature of 32°C and 42% RH. The insect count then decreased after the third week of June to zero insects/trap until the third week of July. Field experiments also showed that the traps height had an effect on the number of insects caught. The average number of total insects caught in traps at 1.5 m was 45.5, whereas the average number of insects caught in traps placed at 2.5 m was 20.5. The results also showed that the highest total infestation rate in the Khistawi variety was 36.89%, followed by Zahdi (18.83%). The infestation rate of the variety kheyara was the lowest (12.61%). The results also showed the average larval density of the insect Batrachedra amydraula was the highest on the khestawi variety with total average injury severity of 0.14%, followed by zahdi variety with an average total injury severity of 0.05%. Therefore, by combining the infestation rate and average number of the insect larvae, it can be concluded that the Khistawi variety was the most sensitive to the insect, and the variety Kheyara was the most tolerant. In addition, the use of pheromone traps was instrumental in reducing the injury caused by the insect, and using resistant/tolerant varieties can effectively contributes to the reduction of the infestation rate of the insect to become below the economic injury level.

One month old tomato plants in pots were used and randomly placed in wooden cages (4 pots/cage). Five pairs of adult insects (males and females) were released in each cage. The number of eggs laid by females was recorded four days after insects release. Results showed that SNPs had an inhibitory effect on egg laying by Tuta absoluta, at all tested concentrations. SNPs treatment caused a decrease in eggs number by 71.17, 59.45 and 51.35%, respectively, at 1000, 750 and 500 ppm concentrations, compared with the control.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(3): 266-271. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-041.3.266271 In this study, the insecticidal activities of one commercially available biopesticide, Biotect of B. thuringeinsis var. kurstaki, (9.4% WP, 32000 I.U./mg), and the conventional insecticide, Andros 5.7% WDG (Emamectin benzoate), against Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.) and Scrobipalba ocellatella (Boyd) larvae and three natural enemies; Chrysoperla carnea (Steph.), Coccinella undecimpunctata L. and Scymnus interruptus (Goeze) were evaluated during 2020 and 2021 seasons in sugar beet fields at Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt. Andros was the most effective against S. littoralis and S. ocellatella populations with reduction of 83.3% and 91% in 2020 and 82.60% and 88.96% in 2021, respectively. Whereas, Biotect had the least effect with 67.2% and 60% reduction in 2020, and 70.12% and 56.4% reduction in 2021 for S. littoralis and S. ocellatella, respectively. On the other hand, treatments had a mediocre effect during the two seasons on the predators. Andros showed the highest effect on S. interruptus larvae with a reduction of (91.0% and 98.5% reduction), on C. undecimpunctata (81.66% and 83.22% reduction) and on C. carnea (78.12% and 86.19% reduction) in 2020 and 2021 growing seasons, respectively.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(3): 272-277. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-041.3.272277 The European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a palearctic pest, has been the target of an international control campaign. Agricultural production areas in Armenia were identified as lacking effective control in 2019- 2020. The results of using a mixture of bacterial and chemical insecticides (BTTER-55 + Coragen, BTTER-94 + Coragen) were effective in controlling this pest. Coragen combined with sublethal concentration of bacterial insecticides (BTTER-55 + Coragen, BTTER-94 + Coragen) showed high biological efficiency against young larvae of grapevine moth under vineyard conditions. It has been proven also that, Coragen together with the applied insecticides that fell on the soil after spraying were less dangerous ecologically since they reduced the number of soil-living ammonifiers for only a short period (1-2 months). In addition, results obtained confirmed that the bacterial insecticides BTTER-55 and BTTER-94 differed in morphological and physiological features, particularly in the size of vegetative cells and spores formed by them, as well as in the size of insecticidal crystalline bodies, colonies shape and assimilation of carbon and nitrogen sources.

(Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae). using pheromone traps. The results obtained showed that the olive moth has three generations per year, and the timing of adult males emergence and the duration of each generation differed according to the studied location and season. Adults of the first generation (Anthophagous) began to appear from the first and second week of March for the seasons 2017 and 2018, respectively, in Saida site, and were delayed until the first and second week of April in Hadar location for the two study seasons, respectively. The duration of the first-generation range was 11-12 weeks, and the butterflies of the second generation (Carpophagous) appeared in the first week of June in the Saida location and the last week of June in Hadar location, and the duration of the generation range was 12-21 weeks. Adults of the third generation (Phyllophagous) began to appear in the second and third week of November for the Saida location in the two study seasons, and the fourth week of September for the locations of Khan Arnabeh and Hadar, with generation duration of 8-11 weeks. The monthly abundance differed during the same season according to the study location, and the population peak of adult olive moths was in Saida location during the two seasons of the study in April (635.67 and 664.33 males/trap, respectively), which significantly outperformed the rest of the months. The two locations of Khan Arnabeh and Hadar had the highest number of adults during the two study seasons in May, with a significant difference compared with the rest of the months with an average of 514.33 and 316.00 males/trap for the 2017 season, respectively, and 651.67 and 411.67 males/trap, respectively, for the 2018 season.

Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(3): 321-326. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-041.3.321326 Field experiments were carried out at Kafr Saqr district, Sharkia governorate during 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 growing seasons to evaluate the predator:prey ratios for the release of C. carnea and evaluation of using Beauveria bassiana suspension against the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae. The results obtained showed that the effective control of B. brassicae was achieved ten days after releasing the larvae of the predator C. carnea when the predator:prey ratios were 1:5 and 1:10. Meanwhile, at higher ratios (1:20, 1:25 and 1:50), the cabbage aphid B. brassicae numbers decreased 25 days after predator release. The numbers of B. brassicae decreased by 84.69 and 81.61% at 1:5 and 1:10 predator:prey ratio during the first season, respectively. On the other hand, the aphid numbers were reduced by 81.50 and 70.95% at 5 days after the predator’s release during the second season, for the two predator:prey ratios, respectively. Complete reduction of B. brassicae populations was achieved at 15 days after yhe release of C. carnea larvae with predator ratios of 1:5, 1:10 and 1:15, and numbers of B. brassicae at these ratios depressed completely 20 days after release. The results revealed that the best control of B. brassicae populations under greenhouses conditions was achieved by using the lower predator:prey ratio of 1:5 and 1:10 ten days after releasing larvae of C. carnea. The highest mortality rate in B. brassicae population caused by the fungus B. bassiana was 88.33%, recorded at 7 days after the application of spore concentration 1×107 spores/ml and the LC50 obtained in the field was 1.10×106 spores/ml.
