Abstract
The present work was carried out to record the major insect pests attacking faba bean plants and their related predators, from the 2nd week of January to the 151 week of April, 2004, at Moshtohor region (Qalubia Governorate). In addition, the effects of each of five treatments; Mesrona oil, Castor oil, Beauveria bassiana, Vertemic and the chemical insecticide Confidor, were evaluated, against major insect pests (including, Aphis craccivora Koch., Empoasca spp., Thrips tabaci (Linn.) and Liriomyza trifo/ii (Burg.)), which were found. The obtained data revealed that, A. craccivora (344.82±238.33 individuals! season), was the most abundant on this crop. While, the two predatory species Crysoperf/a camea (Steph.) and Coccinella undecimpunctata Linn. were the most abundant predators (where, the total number was 56 individuals! season, for each of them), in faba bean field. Data also indicated that, Confidor was the most effective compound against the previous pests, followed by Vertimec, Mesrona oil, B. bassiana and Castor oil, respectively. This chemical insecticide induced the highest percentages of reduction in the population densities of the different key pests. Moreover, the effects of such materials were evaluated on resulted crop yield; including green and dry pods, seeds protein contents and finally, the quantity of crop yield. Accordingly, using alternative insecticides such as mineral oils, plant oil seeds, bioinsecticides containing the fungus B. bassiana and natural insecticides containing Abamectin, may be recommended when planning and promoting I.P.M. programs against major pests of faba bean plants, as contributing materials containing a degree of safety for man and his surrounding environment.
