Abstract | ||||
Impact of abiotic (minimum–maximum temperatures and relative humidity) and biotic factors ( Coccinella undecimpunctata, Syrphus corollae , Amblyseius swirskii, Nesidiocoris tenuis and Chrysoperla carnea) on the population dynamics of Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) and Tetranchys urticae (Koch) infesting tomato plant Lycopersicon esculentum L. at kafr El sheikh governorate, Egypt were studied on spring plantation of 2016 &2017 seasons. The analysis of variance revealed significant variation among dates of observations, lines and in their interaction for B. tabaci (Genn.), T. urticae (Koch) and their natural enemies. The mean number of B. tabaci and T. urticae during the first season was higher than that was recorded during the second season. The percentage of explained variance (E.V.) of abiotic and biotic altogether in the population densities of B. tabaci and T. urticae in the first season was stronger percentage values than second as (62% - 86%) and (94% - 77%) for eggs and nymphs of B. tabaci while (84% _ 77%) and (84% -98%) and for eggs and movable stages of T. urticae during spring of plantation 2016 &2017 seasons, respectively. | ||||
