Abstract
Studies was performed at the Experimental Farm of Sakha Agricultural Research Station and Laboratory of Sugar Crops Research Department, Sakha – Kafr El- Sheikh Governorate throughout 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 seasons. The results revealed that parasitism efficiency- during the whole season- of A. matricariae parasitoid on M. persicae (nymph+adults) was 53.42,43.29 and 68.49% in the three cultivations, respectively during 2021/2022, 60.00, 54.43 and 56.84% in three cultivations, respectively during 2022/2023. In addition to, average of reductions in M.persicae populations was 72.28, 72.03 and 64.09% to Ematrade, , Basudin and Biocide (Biossiana) respectively in 2021/2022 season. While, in 2022/2023 season the average of reductions was 68.23,69.96 and 63.34%, respectively. On the other hand, average of reductions in A.matricariae parasitoid numbers was 84.36,85.50 and 29.32 to the same previous insecticide, respectively in 2021/2022 season. Whereas, in 2022/2023 season the average of reductions was 82.53,81.09 and 26.93% , respectively. In conclusion, these results proved that the biocide, Biossiana induced a good reduction in M. persicae populations during the two seasons. At the same time, biocide induced a lower reduction in A. matricariae parasitiod numbers as compared to conventional insecticides. Thus, the integration between Biossiana and A. matricariae parasitoid are very efficient tools for M.persiae IPM in Egyptian sugar beet fields.
