| Abstract | ||||
| Six soybean varieties namely, Giza111, Giza35, Giza21, Giza82, Clark and Crawford were tested for infestation with cotton whitefly Beroisia tabaci (Genn.) and spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch.) in Shandweel Research Station, Sohag Governorate during two successive seasons, 1999 and 2000. The seasonal abundance of the whitefly was moderately low during July, then reached its peak during August and the population decreased to the lowest level in September in the two successive seasons. The same trend was noticed for the spider mite. Statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences between the soybean varieties and the infestation with the two pests. Soybean varieties can be arranged for their susceptibility to infestation with whiteflies as follows; Giza35 and Crawford as susceptible ones, while 6.111, G.21, G.82 and Clark were tow resistant. In case of the spider mite, however, Giza 21 and Crawford were susceptible, while G.111, G.35, G.82 and Clark were low resistant | ||||
