Abstract | ||||
Field experiments were conducted to estimate the susceptibility of eight sweet pepper cultivars, i.e. Bella yellow, Bella red, Jumbo yellow and Roxy red at Giza governorate and Carmen yellow, Toranto yellow, Inspition red and Blocky red at Behera governorate to infestation with Tetranychus urticae Koch, Thrips tabaci Lind and Aphis gosspii Glover. Their population fluctuations during the two successive seasons, (2008/9) and (2009/10) at Giza and Behera gorvrnorte, revealed that Roxy red cultivar was the most highly susceptible to T. urticae infestation recording averages of 131.5 and 162.4 mite moving stages/leaf, while Jumbo yellow cultivar was the most highly susceptible to aphis and thrips recording averages of 161.15 and 114.39 Aphis gossypii and 75.78 and 92.00 Thrips tabaci L. during the two successive seasons respectively at Giza governorate. | ||||
