Abstract | ||||
Alternative means of control of Soofrtus amygda/i (Coleoptera: Soolytidae) in apricot orchards by horticultural, microbiological, and local chemical treatments were evaluated at Tokh district, Qalubia governorate during one and two successive years (1999/2000 and 2000/2001). The respective rates reductions of infestation with the following 12 treatments applied for one and two successive years were as follows: dormant pruning (33.33 increased to 41.76%), summer pruning (17.61 increased to 21.53%), dormant and summer pruning (45.30 increased to 55.30%), bacterial or fungal (5.74 or 8.31 increased to 8.81 or 11.91%), local painting or local spraying (58.36 or 66.57 increased to 64.76 or 75.04%), pruning together with bacterial or fungal (51.14 Or 52.23 increased to 57.75 or 60.52%), pruning and local painting or local spraying (77.74 or 83.98 increased to 84.34 or 90.70%) treatments. | ||||
