“…Inhibition of insect growth was strongly related with signifi cant improvement in plant growth characteristics including plant height, number of branches and leaves, and leaf content of chlorophylls a and b. In agreement with our results, several previous studies revealed that mineral oils application gave satisfactory results in controlling scale insects such as C. rusci in fi gs (Ismail et al, 2015), soft wax scale Ceroplastes destructor Newstead on citrus (Blank et al, 1997), the guava soft scale Pulvinaria psidii Mask on guava (Aly et al, 1984), the mango soft scale Klifi a acuminata Signoret and P. psidii on mango (Nada et al, 1990), and the nigra scale Parasaissetia nigra Nietner and the cottony camellia scale Pulvinaria fl occifera Westwood on guava and mango (Abd-Rabou et al, 2012). It was also proved eff ective against scale insects in Egypt such as olive scale (Parlatoria oleae Colvee) (Ibrahim, 1990).…”

Summary Ruellia simplex plant is grown for its aesthetic features including fl owers, leaves and overall foliage appearance. The fi g wax scale Ceroplastes rusci L. (Hemiptera: Coccidae) was detected for the fi rst time in Egypt on R. simplex. Mineral oil, diazinon, thiamethoxam + chlorantraniliprole, and essential oils extracted from Acorus calamus and Petroselinum crispum, were compared for their ability to control the insect. Results indicated that reduction percentage increased gradually until day 7 after the treatment regarding adults, nymphs and their total. The maximum effi cacy of the mineral oil, and thiamethoxam + chlorantraniliprole, was noticed 21 days after treatment, followed by A. calamus oil. Efficacy of P. crispum oil and diazinon reached more than 86% after 21 days and more than 90% 28 days after treatment. At 28 days, A. calamus oil reached its maximum effi cacy. Plants treated with thiamethoxam + chlorantraniliprole were the tallest plants and possessed signifi cantly higher number of branches and leaves, and leaf pigments followed by those treated with mineral oil or A. calamus oil. A. calamus oil and thiamethoxam + chlorantraniliprole were proved as promising compounds tested for the fi rst time in controlling C. rusci.

“…The fi g wax scale, Ceroplastes rusci L. (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae), is a polyphagous pest that attacks a wide range of plants from at least 21 diff erent families of Rabou et al, 2012). However, some of these compounds exhibited harmful eff ect on the natural enemies of the pests and other non-target organisms (Satar et al, 2013).…”

“…Satisfactory control was also achieved against adults and nymphs of the scales Parasaissetia nigra (Nietner) and Pulvinaria floccifera (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Coccidae), when the commercial Super Misrona oil 95% EC (95% paraffinic oil w/w, UR 92%.) was applied in guava and mango trees at a rate of 1.5% v/v., for two years in the row (Abd-Rabou et al 2012 ). The black scale, Saissetia oleae (Olivier) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) on olive trees and P. citrella on lemon trees, were effectively controlled by petroleum oils, as reported by Nicetic et al ( 2011 ).…”

Paraffin (petroleum) oils have been used for many years for their insecticidal properties, but relatively little research had been conducted towards their introduction into the agricultural praxis, due to their potential phytotoxic effects. In the recent years, however, there has been an increased interest in petroleum-based pesticides due to their compatibility with integrated pest management (IPM) programs. Various improvements in the refinement methods have enhanced the manufacture of commercial products with many advantageous features over the original oil formulas. However, literature is still lacking of a general overview about the applicability of newly introduced commercial petroleum oils in agriculture and their compatibility with modern pest management practices. Therefore, the present work aims to depict the current status of petroleum oils in arboriculture and beyond, providing an in-depth analysis of their insecticidal properties with respect to the knowledge gained over the years about the factors responsible for the pesticidal efficacy and the phytotoxic activity of petroleum-derived oil insecticides. Moreover, commercial aspects of petroleum oil formulations and their toxicological profile to non-target organisms have also been addressed through the current legislation in EU and the USA.

The population dynamics of the soft-scale insect, Kilifia acuminata (Sign.) was studied on mango trees in the Bilbies district of the Sharkia Governorate during the two seasons (2020-2021 and 2021-2022). Results revealed that the pest had three overlapping generations on mango trees per year, each lasting about four months. .The monthly average population density of K. acuminata alive stages on mango trees varied between 40.9 and 310.9 individuals/20 leaves and the highest number occurred in September 2021 during the first season. . While in the second season, the monthly average population density varied between 22.9 and 237.4 individuals/20 leaves and the highest number occurred in July.. The preferable directions for trees were west and east in the two seasons, respectively. Throughout the present period of study, only one parasitoid species (the endoprasitoid, Metaphycus zebratus (Mercet) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) attacks K. acuminata.The mean number of parasitoids was relatively higher in the second season than in the first one. Statistical analysis revealed that the population fluctuations due to the combined effects of daily mean temperature and RH%, which were also influenced by some chemical constituents in mango leaves.
