Abstract
The seasonal life history of the black Parlatoria scale, Par/ataria ziziphus (Lucas) was studied in EI-Santa region, EI-Gharbiya Governorate, during 1999-2000 years on a heavy infested apple trees. In general, P.zizip < /em>hus was found to have two generations a year. During which, the egg stage was recorded throughout march-May and July-September and lasted about 10-12 weeks in both years.
The nymphal stages were present during about 12-14 weeks, in the first generation April - June in first year and March - July in second one, and throughout 13-14 weeks during July - October in the second generation.
The adult female stages took place, in the first generation, lasted about 15 weekes during June -September in 1999 and May - September in 2000. In the second generation, lasted about 35-37 weeks, during September- May and September - first June in the first and second years, respectively.
The generation period lasted about 16 weeks in the first generation March - September in the first and second years, and lasted about 33-35 weeks, July - next May and July - next June in the first and second years, throughout the second generation.
The total number of eggs was 49.0 .± 4.06 and 33.8 .± 6.46 eggs I female for the first generation and second generation, successively.
The occurrence period of immature male stage of first generation lasted about 14-16 weeks during April- July and March-July in the first and second years. While, in the second generation, lasted about 16-17 weeks during July - November in both years. The adult male, lasted about 7-9 weeks in the first generation, during June - July and may- July in the first and second Years.
