This study was carried out during the period from December 2008 to December 2009 at Alexandria Governorate. The product samples were obtained from General Soils and Agriculture Credit Bank. Eight species, belonging to two orders; <em>Cleoptera and Lepidoptera</em> and only five families were recorded on wheat, wheat flour, yellow corn and barley. The survey revealed about seven species of <em>Clepotera </em>and one species of <em>Lepidoptera</em>.
This situation of these insects as pests in Egypt or other parts of the world, the effect of sample site inside or outside of G.S. and A.C.B and monthly distribution of insect infestation are considered and discussed for each insect in each product.
The recorded data showed that the lowest infestation rate occurred at barley and yellow corn. But, the highest infestation rates were at wheat followed by wheat flour.

Bacterial spot caused by <em>Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria </em>is an important bacterial diseases of pepper and tomato. The present work was planned to record the disease incidence under protected agriculture and open field conditions in different localities of Nile Delta. Also to study the relationship between environmental factors (average daily temperature and relative humidity) and disease severity. The results showed that the open fields were free from the disease during the growing seasons of 2007-2009. Under the protected agriculture conditions, the disease was shown in all surveyed localities. The highest disease severity was recorded in El-Khatatba, El-Fayoum and El-Salhia regions, while it was moderately shown at El-Bosaily; Gazera-El-Dhab, Kha and El-Giza region. However, the disease severity on pepper increased with increasing the average of daily temperature and relative humidity. The disease was sever in the growing seasons 2007-2008 and less in 2008-2009 seasons and this phenomena probably due to the change in the climate between the two different seasons.

Two sprays of cyanophos were applied on cotton plants adjacent to maize field by two methods of application, i.e. micron ULVA and a motorized knapsack mistblower. Operator exposure during application, drift residues on maize plants and the toxicity of these residues on fish and honeybees were estimated. Fish and bees were located on the ground of maize field at different distances from the edge of the cotton field. Dermal exposure was determined by measuring cyanophos on pieces of clothing fitted to applicator overall within the time specified for application. Results show that the higher level of deposition of the insecticide on the total area of all cloth patches fitted on different body regions was observed for the micron ULVA (total deposition for the two sprays was 11.8 mg within exposure time of 9.5 min versus 3.82 mg for the mistblower at the same exposure time). Deposition on different body organs could be arranged descendingly as follows: hands> legs> knees> chest> elbows or shoulders. Deposition was more in 1<sup>st</sup> spray than in 2<sup>nd</sup> one, mainly due to the difference of wind speed. At the 1<sup>st</sup> spray, distances traveled by cyanophos residues were 24 and 33 m when using the mistblower and micron ULVA, respectively. At these distances, the corresponding values of mean deposits were 16.5, 11.6 µg/kg of maize leaves, respectively. At 2<sup>nd</sup> spray (lower wind velocity) the distances were 18 and 24 m corresponding to 19.3 and 10.6 µg/kg maize leaves, respectively. Drift of cyanophos released by each of the tested equipment caused 100% mortality of fish and honeybees placed at the distances 3 and 6 m, respectively. Zero mortality for both organisms were observed at distances 18 and 30 m for the mistblower and micron ULVA, respectively. It is obvious that levels of dermal exposure or drift to non-target sites were higher for micron ULVA than for the mistblower. These levels were markedly affected by wind speed.

American bollworm, <em>Helicoverpa armigera </em>(Hubner) was selected for eleven subsequent generations with purified toxin Cry1Ac <em>Bacillus thuringiensis </em>under laboratory condition. The resistance ratio (RR) reached 56.73 fold-resistances. The larval development of resistant, susceptible and their F<sub>1</sub> generation were significantly varied while reared on normal artificial diet. The growth rate of resistant strain was slower compared with susceptible and F<sub>1</sub> strains. The present study shows asynchronism effect for Cry1Ac resistant strain in relation with susceptible and F1 strains. The overlapping distribution between the adult peak of resistant and the adult peak of susceptible were investigated and found to be apart from each other. Subsequently, the probability of random mating among resistant individuals would be more likely to be happened that helps insect resistance development within the population. Thus, the current study would recommend reviewing the implementation of refuge strategy (non Bt cultivated area) while adopting Bt modified crops.

The present study was carried out at Mahala, Basion and Tanta districts in Gharbia Governorate during 2006 &2007 cotton seasons to study prediction of ِِِِِِamerican bollworm, <em>Helicoverpa armigera </em>(Hüb.), depended on accumulated heat units in cotton fields with enough period for the pest control. The host plants of<em> H. armigera </em>surveyed in investigation areas during the wintry, summery and niley seasons. Results indicated that, seasonal abundance appeared in four main peaks of the capture that occurred during the two investigation seasons, at the three districts. The monthly average number of catches ranged between 2.86 to 11.16 male /Trap/month at three districts during the tested seasons. Tanta had the largest significant mean number of the capture for months followed by Mahala and Bason. Fit polynomial regression equation between the two variables that was represented in coefficient of determination <em>R<sup>2</sup></em> values indicated that the equation degree14 for the three districts. The <em>R<sup>2</sup></em> values ranged at three districts between 0.64731 and 0.94397. Sum of deviations square for the expected from observed population ranged between 12.31 and 45.08 at Mahala, 15.99 and 98.99 at Basion and at Tanta the population take the same trend for the two seasons. Therefore, accumulated heat units can be used to forecast <em>H. armigera</em> population before appearance with a month using equation Y=a +b<sub>1</sub>x +……b<sub>14</sub>x<sup>14</sup> under the same field condition of host plants at the three different districts in Gharbia Governorate.

Laboratory bioassays were conducted to determine the effects of seven insecticides and three nematicides on penetration , infectivity and reproduction of the infective juveniles (IJs)of entomopathogenic nematodes <em>Heterorhabditis bacteriophora</em> and <em>H. indica </em>nematode species<em>.</em> In penetration assay, results of tested seven insecticides i.e. abamactin, <em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em> B.t.as bioinsecticides, chloropyrifos, chloropyrifos-methyl, esfenvalerate, methomyl and profenfos as chemical insecticides on both of entomopathogenic nematodes, indicate that the more pesticides events for reduction in average numbers of IJs nematodes penetrating last instar larvae of<em> Spodoptera littoralis</em> was chloropyrifos-methyl and methomyl at 100% reduction comparing with control. While the more pesticides compatible with tested nematode species are abamactin and B.t on the three tested rates of application. In infectivity and reproduction assays, three nematicides has been tested i.e. aldicarb , ethoprophos and cadusafos at three rates of application after four periods of exposure soil to tested nematicides at one day, one week, two weeks, three weeks. Results show that, the most compatible nematicides with <em>H. bacteriophora</em> are cadusafos in both assayes production and efficiency against <em>Galleria mellonella </em>larvae comparing with control, while other pesticides tested is not compatible with this nematode where the aldicarb at percentage 100% reduction in events insect larvae death, as well as test production by day, week, 2 weeks. Overall, results indicate the feasibility of an integrated use of these nematode species and chemical pesticides in crop protection.
