Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) tomato leaf miner is a major pest of the Solanaceae family, this studs was carried out in the open field of three potato varities (Espunta, Mondial and Pliny) at Al-Bustan, Nubaria Western Delta in Egypt in two evergreen (winter and Summer) using pheromone traps as an indicator to infestation by this pest. Also, the parasitoid Trichogramma evanscens (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) was evaluated to suppressing the infestation as a biological control. Also, the relationship between the adult moth of T. absoluta and temperature o C and relative humidity RH% throw the winter and summer evergreens studied. The result indicated that the population of T. absoluta adult moth in pheromone traps increased in winter evergreen during October and November (19-22°C) and summer evergreen during May and June (23 o-26 o C) in warm climates. The results revealed that Tr. evanscens gave a high significant in reducing the T. absoluta in open field and greatly exacerbates role of natural enemies.
The study was carried out on cotton variety Giza 86 during two following seasons in 2017 and 2019 at the experimental farms of the faculties of Agriculture, Saba Bacha and El-Chatby, Alexandria, Egypt. The obtained results indicated that the highest efficacy was gained by Novatrin/ Radiant ® and Novatrin/ Super Mix, which decreased the incidence of Earias insulana (0.84 and 1.24 larvae /10 green bolls, in respect) and pectinophora gossypiella infestation and increased the cotton yield up to (57.8 Kent / fed(. Furthermore, Novatrin/ Super Mix and Super Mix/Radiant ® -achieved the lowest value of yield losses(9.6% and 10.1%, respectively) during the cotton season of 2017, in addition to the foliar treatments of Novatrin/ Super Mix/Radiant ® and Super Mix/ Potasin-F/ Radiant ® gave higher efficacy in reducing the level of the spiny bollworm infestation(0.53 and 0.65 larvae /10 green bolls, respectively) in 2019 season, while the application of Novatrin/ Super Mix/Radiant ® and Novatrin/Potasin-F/Radiant ® , increased the cotton yield (106.2% and 84.9%, in respect) resulting in decreasing yield losses during the 2019 cotton season, while the foliar application of Novatrin / Super Mix, increased cotton fiber length(34.21mm), while the application of lambda -cyhalothrin and Super Mix greatly increased fiber strength (50.36 and 50.16 gram/ tex, respectively), the highest increased value of fiber micronair reading was detected for the performed application of Super Mix / Radiant ® (4.88 millitex)during the 2017 cotton season, while the application of Novatrin / Potasin-F / Radiant ® increased fiber length (33.66 mm), Novatrin / Super Mix / Radiant ® treatments also increased fiber strength (45.53 gram/ tex) and the value of elongation (5.60%), as well as, application of Novatrin / Potasin-F/ chloropyrifos increased value of fiber micronair reading (4.88 millitex) during the 2019 cotton season.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
