Abstract
Insect pests of corn plants and their predators in Minufiya governorate were
studied in 2005 and 2006. Sweeping net and green plant samples were taken ¡n
account in sampling procedure. Data revealed that thirteen insects pest species
belonging to four orders were found attacking maize plants in both seasons. The
common seedling pests were Agrotis ipsilon and Ge’yllotaipa gl)*talpa, cotton
leafworms, corn aphid and corn borers were the most abundant and common pests
during growing stages following seedling stage. Six insect predators species were
detected, however Cocariela undecJmpurictata and Paederus fierij were the most
abundant species. Statistical analysis cleared that, the correlation coefficients and
regression for each of insect pest to predators, relative humidity and temperature.
