SURVEY OF INSECTS AND MITES ASSOCIATED WITH SOYBEAN AND MAIZE IN VARIOUS INTERCROPPING SYSTEMS.
Plant Protection Research Institute, Agric. Res. Centre, Dokki-Egypt
Abstract
The surveyed arthropods on soybean plants and polyculture of soybean and maize at two locations representing Middle Egypt revealed the presence of 117 insect species belonging 10 58 fOlrr.iiies from 11 orders (of which 9 species of order Orthoptera belonging to 4 families). classified as 44 phytophagous species of economic importance (37.0%) and 33 insec1 sp < /span>ecies as visitors. pollinators. non-pest and saprophagous (28.0%). However. natural enemies (predators and parasites) were presented by 40 species (35.0%) and Acarina by 4 species (2 of them were classified as phytophagous mites and the others as predators). In maizelsoybean intercropping systems. maize is infested mosUy with the same pests. where a partial taxonomic list shows that the insect fauna consists of 43 famiQes from 11 orders in addition to mites (3 families): pest species were classified as: 9 species as foliage feeders, 3 as stem borers. 2 as root feeders. 5 as ear feeders. 1 as leaf miner, 10 as sap-suckers and 22 as natural enemies (13 predators and 9 parasites). Four species of Acarina belonging to 3 families (2 phytophagous and 2 predators).
