“…The present results agree with the findings of Abdallah et al (2012) and Saleh et al (2017) who found that some biochemical control products against certain vegetable marrow pests (Thrips tabaci, A. gossypii and B. tabaci) caused reduction of the insect species under chemical control. Results given in Table (6&7) indicated that, the tested treatments by pesticides and biopesticides had significant effects in reducing pest counts on Aziad variety and the resultant yield.…”

Two field experiments were conducted during 2020 at the Plant Protection Research Station at Qaha, Qalubiya Governorate. Those included fluctuation in population growth rate of Bemisia tabaci, Aphis gossypii, Thrips tabaci and Tetranychus urticae in addition to evaluation of the susceptibility degree of 4vegetable marrow varieties (hybrid Aziad, hybrid Marseille, Askandrany and Amna)to infestation by previously mentioned pests. The study also included the application of lemon oil, ginger oil, fenugreek oil, green tea oil and egyxide plus(water soluble natural oil)for control of these each of pests. The 5oils (at 500 and 1000ml.)were mixed with 250gm hivit 80%WDG. Also, 5insecticides; Vapcomic 1.8%EC, Mobet, Trivap 75%WP, Oecos 3.2%EC and Hivit 80%were assayed at the recommended concentrations.Aziad variety could be fairly categorized as the highest susceptible(S)to infestation with the above mentioned pests of vegetable marrow plants, with means 31.61, 19.45, 1.76 and 2.31/leaf to B. tabaci, A. gossypii, T. tabaci and T. urticae, respectively/leaf.Obtained data indicated that A. gossypii recorded the highest growth rate 6.77, taking time difference 7days at Marseille variety. As for the anatomical measurements, those were the highest in case of Amna variety and the lowest in Aziad variety. Also, highest fruit yield was that of Amna variety and lowest in Aziad variety.The obtained records exhibited, that vapcomic and fenugreek oil+Hivit(1000ml+250gm)caused the significantly highest reduction against B. tabaci and A. gossypii counts on Aziad variety, as the recorded average of their reductions after 14days of first and second spray were(88.8 and 88.1%),(93.2 and 91.3%)and(96.2 and 95.2%), respectively.

“…Many phytophagous pests including cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, aphids, Aphis gossypii & Myzus persicae, leafhopper, Empoasca decipiens and two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae were infested Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops (Abd El-Wahab et al, 2012 andAl-Habshy et al, 2013). A large scale of these sucking pests attack numerous Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae species such as watermelon (Abou El-Saad, 2015) cucumber (Ibrahim, 2017), ash-gourd (Khan et al, 1999), squash (Abdallah et al, 2012), cantaloupe (Younes et al, 2010) snakecucumber (Mondal et al, 2020) pepper (Havanoor and Rafee, 2018) and eggplant (Helmi and Rashwan, 2015). In addition to the direct infestation of piercing-sucking insects, which causes the transmission of viral disease to these plant families, as well as the secretion of honeydew, which leads to the growth of black mold, also, causing photosynthesis stop (Ghosh et al, 2019 andKazak et al, 2015).…”

Insects and plants have been living and relationship together for more million years. Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae families were esteemed as important vegetable production in Egypt and were infested by numerous piercing-sucking pests. Recently, climatic changes led to changes in the distribution of these pests. Therefore, the diversity of Bemisia tabaci, Aphis gossypii & Myzus persicae, Empoasca decipiens and Tetranychus urticae on Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops was studied during two summer seasons of 2022 and 2023 years. The obtained results show a susceptible and low resistance of whitefly and spider mite infestations, while, susceptible, moderate and low resistance were recorded with aphid and leafhopper infestations of tested hosts. Data emphasized that B. tabaci and T. urticae were the more dominant species infesting all plants. The tested piercing-sucking pests were recorded 1-3 peaks, concentrating through April-May during the two tested seasons. Data showed that the increasing of B. tabaci and T. urticae populations led to a decrease in GA3, IAA and KIN contents, and an increase in ABA contents, contrariwise, the reverse direction was found with aphids and E. decipiens populations. Moreover, a negative relationship was recorded between phenoloxidase and all tested pests except whitefly was detected a positive effect. A positive relation was reported between phytochemical components and these pests except spider mite was negative. Finally, these results offer useful and appealingly data to point out herein that the infestation rate of piercing-sucking insects must refer to the resistance degree of each cultivar to help in putting the IPM management strategy in the control programs of these pests.

“…Squash crop, Cucurbita pepo L. (Cucurbitaceae) is an important vegetable crop, cultivated in both open fields and under greenhouses, infested by numerous phytophagous species (Abdallah et al, 2012). Both Cucurbit fruit fly, Dacus ciliatus (Loew) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), were mainly insect pests, have been infested squash crop.…”

Squash is an important vegetable crop and infested by numerous pests. Both cucurbit fly, Dacus ciliatus (Loew) and western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), were mainly pests in squash. Field experiment was implemented biocontrol tactics for controlling these pests on squash. The present results showed a significant effective between all sequentially spraying of six treatments with the untreated field of squash plant against D. ciliatus and F. occidentalis infestations during the two investigated fall seasons, 2021 and 2022. The highest D. ciliatus and F. occidentalis infestations on squash was obtained with the 4 th program contained sequentially spraying of Bacillus megaterium, spinetoram and emamectin benzoate plus yeast and 2% honeybee, azadrachtin + 2% black honey and mineral oil and the untreated filed during two tested fall seasons. Contrariwise, the application of 5 th and 6 th programs that contained sequentially spraying of B. megaterium, spinosad bait hydrolyzed protein + kerosene soil drench, orange oil and azadrachtin + 2% black honey gave the best results in reducing D. ciliatus and F. occidentalis infestations on squash during two fall seasons. Squash production increased in all treatments compared with untreated field, but its highest value was 4475.62 kg/feddan during two seasons. Therefore, we could be concluded that the sequentially spraying of 5 th and 6 th programs gave the higher reduction of two pests on squash. Consequently, this study can used to have sound decisions for these pest managements on cucurbits specially squash in Egypt during fall cultivations.
