In this study, the efficiency of β amino butyric acid (BABA) on induction of resistance against root-knot nematode (<em>Meloidogyne</em> <em>incognita</em>, PM) infection of tomato plants were evaluated. The effects of treatments were estimated by counting the number of galls, egg masses / root system and juvenile per 250 g soil. In addition, tomato plants growth parameters were estimated. Results showed that the plants which sprayed with BABA at 32 and 16 Mm gave the highest reduction in gall numbers, egg masses formation and juveniles, ( 57.87- 55.85, 60-59.48 and 49.8- 47.25 % respectively). Concerning the soil drench of BABA with 32 and 16 Mm the highest reduction in gall numbers, egg masses formation and juveniles were recorded ( 61.92- 60.05, 63.99-61.85 and 55.65- 53.38 % respectively). Treatments as well enhance both fresh and dry shoot and root system compared with inoculated control. Also, results showed that application of BABA interior to nematode inoculation were outstanding in inducing acquired resistance for <em>M. incognita</em> than application at the same time or next nematode infection.

<span>Two field experiments were carried out at the farm of Sakha Agric., Res., Station, Kafrelsheikh, Egypt, through 2018 & 2019 seasons to study the role of allelopathy and transplanting space in reducing herbicide use under transplanted rice (Sakha 106 cv). Rice seedlings were manually transplanted under three spaces included 15x20cm, 20x20cm and 25x20cm. Four weed control treatments included pre-mixed herbicide Pindar 13.6% OD (triclopyr-butotyl 12 % + penoxsulam 1.6%) was used at recommended and ½ recommended dose compared with hand weeding and weedy check. Narrow transplanting space recorded the best in controlling <em>E. crus-galli, C. difformis, Eclipta sp</em>., as well as total weeds. Besides, achieved the highest dry weight of rice; panicles m<sup>-2</sup>; panicle weight and grain yield during both seasons. The highest dry weights of tested weeds and lowest values of rice characteristics were recorded under wider transplanting space throughout the tested seasons. Recommended rate of herbicide exceeded other weed control treatments in weeds control and produced highest dry matter and yield of Sakha 106 cv through both seasons. Recommended or half herbicide rate were the best in controlling weeds; dry weight of rice; grain yield and its attributes under 15 x 20 cm space without significant differences in the two seasons. It could be concluded that allelopathic rice cultivar Sakha 106 can be helpful in reducing herbicide use up to half dose when rice plants were transplanted on 15 x 20 cm.</span>

Lettuce and French bean production are severely infected by root-knot nematode, <em>Meloidogyne incognita</em> which causes critical damage to economic plants. Therefore, the farmers have to use chemical nematicides with or without adding adjuvants to enhance the active ingredient delivery to the target nematode. A current study was conducted to assess the direct effect of three adjuvants namely Silwet L-77, Sylgard 309 and Agrimax 3H comparing with three formulations of oxamyl, fosthiazate and fenamiphos on root-knot nematode<em> Meloidogyne incognita</em>. <em>In vitro</em> experiments, ovicidal effect of Silwet L-77, Sylgard 309 and Agrimax 3H on eggs hatching of root-knot nematode was close to the lowest efficient nematicide fenamiphos when the adjuvants were applied at double recommended rate but their effect does not rise to the level of oxamyl or fosthiazate. On the other hand, mortality percentages of second-stage juveniles resulted from Silwet L-77, Sylgard 309 and Agrimax 3H at the recommended rate were 37.33, 50.00 and 42.19 %, respectively. Whereas, double recommended rate of such materials induced mortality percentages reached 46.66, 47.83 and 48.66 %, respectively comparing with 90.83,74.33 and 45.83% resulted from the tested nematicides oxamyl, fosthiazate and fenamiphos, respectively. On the other hand, controlling the root-knot nematode infecting lettuce and French bean plants under greenhouse conditions revealed that adjuvants have weak or limited nematicidal effect with minor potency in reduction nematode development incomparable with the tested standard nematicides, and does not rise to the lowest effect of a tested nematicide fenamiphos. However, both tested plants showed no visual phytotoxicity symptoms.

Two field experiments were conducted to study the population dynamics of whitefly, <em>Bemisia tabaci </em>(Genn.) and the cotton mealybug, <em>Phenacoccus solenopsis</em> Tinsley .The efficacy of some insecticides against these insect pests infesting eggplant plants were evaluated at Sharkia Governorate during the two successive seasons of 2016 and 2017. The obtained results revealed that <em>B. tabaci </em>recorded four peaks of abundance and the highest peak was the fourth one during 2016 and2017 seasons, respectively. Moreover, <em>P. solenopsis </em>recorded two peaks in the first season 2016 and the highest peak was the second one, while in the second season 2017, it had three peaks and the highest peak was the third one. The infestation of these insect pests was more abundant in the second season than in the first one, which may be due to the influence of the studied climatic factors. Moreover, results showed that Lambada-cyhalothrine+thiamehoxam and imidacloprid were the most efficient insecticides against <em>B. tabaci</em> followed by pyriproxyfen, abamectin+thiamethoxam, buprofezin and spiromesifen, which classified as moderately toxic against the tested insect during the two seasons, respectively. And also, results indicated that thiamethoxam and abamectin were the most toxic insecticides against <em>P. solenopsis</em> followed by imidacloprid, emamectin benzoate, pyrethrins and chlorpyrifos in both seasons, respectively. This study might leads to understand the ecology of these pests which will help in designing the integrated pest management programs for their control. On the other hand, it shows the role of systemic insecticides which are less harmful to natural enemies.

The Experiment was conducted at Al-Nubariya district, Al-Beheira Governorate, Egypt, during three successive years 2016, 2017 and 2018. <em>Trichogramma evanescens</em> was released (twice a year) in the selected orchards to control the leopard moth, <em>Zeuzera pyrina</em> (L.). <em>Z. pyrina</em> was recorded with high numbers in the first year that decreased in positive relation with the parasitoid in the second and the third year. The parasitoid numbers showed significant variation between all months more than the variation observed in <em>Z. pyrina</em> monthly numbers. in the first year, <em>T. evanescens</em> showed high activity only in pomegranate trees but in second and third year no significant variation appeared between the two orchards. Moreover, data resulted significant variation between each years and <em>Z. pyrina</em> reduction in numbers by the time. Generally, the parasitoid recorded 2.74±0.58, 4.65 ±1.00 and 5.08 ±0.59 in year 2106, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Meanwhile, <em>Z. pyrina</em> recorded mean number of 3.22 ±0.45, 1.99± 0.37and 1.35 ±0.23 in year 2106, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The reaction of the insect predators, <em>Eupeodes corollae</em> Fabr (Diptera, Syrphidae),<em> Coccinella undecimpunctata</em> L. and<em> Hippodamia</em> <em>tredecimpunctata</em> L. (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) and <em>Chrysoperla carnea</em> (Steph.) (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae) was compared in response to odor and color of five flowers (Marigold, <em>Calendula officinalis</em>; Chamomile, <em>Matricaria chamomilla</em>; Fennel, <em>Foeniculum vulgare</em> Miller; Caraway, <em>Carum carvi</em> L and Marguerite<em>,</em> <em>Chysanthemum coronarium </em>L<em>.</em>) under laboratory conditions. The experimental tube indicated that the tested predators exhibited different degrees of attractiveness in response to flower colors and nectars of the tested plants. The nectar plant species of Chamomile and Fennel were significantly more attracted to <em>E. corollae</em> and <em>Ch. carnea</em> as compared to other tested species. <em>C. undecimpunctata</em> and <em>H. tredecimpunctata</em> exhibited the highest attractiveness to Marigold and Chamomile nectars. All predators exhibited the lowest preferability toward Marguerite and Caraway nectars. Preferability experiments illustrated that all tested predators exhibited the highest preferability to yellow flower colors (Fennel, Marigold and Chamomile) followed by white colors (Caraway). The present study evaluates the role of <em>C. officinalis</em>; <em>M. chamomilla</em>; and <em>Chy. Coronarium </em>flowers as supplemental food on the longevity and foraging behavior of the coccinellid predators, <em>C. undecimpunctata </em>and <em>H.</em> <em>tredecimpunctata </em>adult females. Flowers increased survival and searching rate in <em>C. undecimpunctata</em> and <em>H. tredecimpunctata</em> in comparison with prey diet-only treatments. This suggests that the availability of flowers of Marigoldand Chamomileas supplemental foods (pollen and nectar) in the field can serve to improve efficacy of coccinellid predators under conditions of prey limitation.

Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the ability of the peach fly <em>Bactrocera zonata</em> (Saunders) to tolerate the lack of some food components (water - sugar - protein). These tests performed in three groups. 1- Continuous feeding (from emergence till death). 2- Feeding for the first 24 hours after emergence. 3- Feeding for the second 24 hours after emergence. Each group composed of the following treatments: sugar only feeding, protein only feeding, water only feeding, sugar and water feeding, sugar and protein feeding, water and protein feeding, sugar solution (10%) feeding and protein solution (5% buminal) feeding .in addition to two control treatments, Complete starvation and complete meal composed of water, sugar and protein. Results revealed that for the three feeding groups, sugar was the most significant component in the diet and its absence led to obvious reduction of fly life span. Presence of sugar, either alone or in combination with water or protein or even as a 10 % solution, compared to the sugar – free treatments, followed by water comes in the second rank (either alone or in combination with sugar or protein), and protein (either alone or in combination with water or sugar or in the form of 5 % solution) is the least significance.<br />
