| Abstract | ||||
| Monitoring studies of S. myopaeformis were conducted at Behaira Governorate during the two successive seasons 2015 and 2016 in pear orchards for the first time in Egypt. Moths of S. myopaeformis were found to be existed all year round on the course of two successive years of study. Three flight peaks were recorded during both years of study, the 1st peak was recorded in the 1st half of March, (mean number 1.8 moth/tree), the 2nd peak occurred in the 1st half of May (mean number 2.2 moth/tree) and the 3rdpeak was recorded in the1st half of August (mean number 2.4 moth / tree) during 2015 seasons. In 2016 seasons, three flight peaks were also recorded, the 1st peak was recorded during the 2nd half of February (mean number 1.9 moth / tree), the 2nd peak occurred in the 2nd half of May (mean number 2.5 moth / tree)and the 3rd peak was also during the 1st half of August (mean number 2.7 moth / tree). The effect of prevailing weather factors upon moths' density population was studied. | ||||
