and also seedling growth. Therefore, the present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Difenoconazole and Azoxystrobin as fungicides on the germination of monocotyledonous seed (wheat; Triticum aestivum L . ), and dicotyledonous seeds (radish; Raphanus sativus ), then effect on Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedling growth. Seeds of wheat and radish and seedling of tomato were treated with different concentrations of the tested fungicides; recommended, half and the double recommended dose compared with the untreated control. The results showed that the two tested fungicides significantly decreased seed germination%, root and shoot length of both wheat and radish seeds at the different applied doses compared to the control. The highly significant reduction in relative root and shoot length% and the relative germination% of wheat and radish seeds were observed when exposed to Difenoconazole or Azoxystrobin in which double recommended doses being 23.20, 27.88, and 43% or 13.20, 26.02, and 30.10% in wheat seeds, however, the reduction were 22.30, 37.69, and 63.0% or 17.67, 51.67, and 40.70% in radish seeds, respectively. In the case of tomato seedlings; carotene, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll were significantly decreased after three weeks from both fungicides application by the double recommended doses, which recorded 0.04, 2.25, 0.15, 2.40 mg/g fresh weight for difenoconazole or 0.06, 1.66, 0.39, 2.05 mg/g fresh weight for azoxystrobin, respectively. Because Difenoconazole is less hazardous than Azoxystrobin, it might be advised that wheat and radish seeds be treated with it before sowing. Three weeks after being exposed to the fungicides, tomato plants treated with Azoxystrobin displayed a decrease in the a/b ratio at the indicated dose.

The biological and histological effect of insect growth regulator (flufenoxuron) evaluated on 2 nd larval instar of Agrotis ipsilon as a chitin synthesis inhibitor. The effect of sublethal dose LC 50 was used to investigate its effect on some developmental and reproductive parameters of Agrotis ipsilon that survived treatment of newly molted second instars. Results indicated that the flufenoxuron significantly enhanced the mean larval and pupal durations, whereas they significantly declined the mean percentage pupation, adult emergence, adult longevity, fecundity, and fertility compared to untreated insects. Also, our studies recorded many histological aberrations to the ovary of Agrotis ipsilon female moth.

Desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria is a serious agricultural pest that causes considerable damage to food crops and pasture grasses . This study was carried out to evaluate the commercial botanical insecticides, Sabadilla, Limonene, Rotenone, and Azadirachtin on Sch. gregaria . Results indicated that the 4 th nymphal instars were affected after feeding on clover leaves treated with the various concentrations of the tested compounds. Early 24hrs. moulted 4th nymphal instar was more sensitive to azadirachtin followed by rotenone, sabadill and finally limonene botanical. The recorded LC 50 value was 3.4, 3.7, 3.9 and 4.2% by the effect of azadirachtin, rotenone, sabadilla and limonene respectively against 4 th nymphal instars 72hrs. post-treatment. While LC90 was 15.2, 18.7, 26.3 and 28.1% in the same previous compound respectively. The higher prolongation of nymphal duration was 17.6 days with azadirachtin at a concentration of 15% and lower prolongation was 10.5 with limonene at a concentration of 5% compared to 10.2 days of control. Also, nymphs suffered from weight loss for all tested botanical insecticides particularly at higher concentrations then died. The morphogenetic effect was obtained at different concentrations of the tested botanical insecticides. Deformation was in the form of abnormal nymphs and nymphal-adult intermediate stages.

Insecticide combinations are a strategy for increasing toxicity, combating resistance, and overcoming resistance. Neonicotinoid mixtures have been recommended to control a variety of sucking insects. In this study, the combination index (CI) was used to examine the synergistic interactions of certain neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, thiamethoxam, and dinotefuran) with various insecticides. The interactions of neonicotinoid mixtures were assessed by using the experimental combinations (1:1) and the commercial formulation mixtures ratio. The results clarified that the combination between neonicotinoids and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors insecticides had a strong synergistic effect, with (CI) values ranging between 0.05 -0.56. On the other hand, the lowest combination index (CI) value was 0.05 in thiamethoxam/profenofos mixtures, indicating the strongest synergism. Likewise, similar results were obtained with the antifeedant pymetrozine, with CI values ranging between 0.34- 0.68. Neonicotinoids had an additive effect when mixed with the tested pyrethroids and abamectin. Synergized mixtures can help to establish a resistance management strategy, reduce costs, and provide broad spectrum activity to cover multiple target pests at the same time.

caused by Pcc. The results show that up to 90% and 100% of potato tubers inoculated with four Pcc isolates show distinctive soft rot with , 0.9x10 4, 0.3x10 4 and 0.6x10 3 PFU/g for Pcc 1, Pcc 2, Pcc 3 and Pcc 4, respectively, but the longevity of formulated phages not affected by storage more than three weeks with a concentration of 4x10 10 , 2x10 9 , 5x10 7 and 2x10 7 for Pcc 1, Pcc 2, Pcc 3 and Pcc 4, respectively. It was found that 10 7 and 10 9 PFU/ml compared to the initial concentrations did not decrease the efficacy of disease control. Potato yield increased with phage treatment up to 70% when all tubers were inoculated with Pcc isolates. The current findings corroborate those of Balogh (2002), who produced three formulations to increase the lifespan of bacteriophages on plant foliage for the management of tomato bacterial spots. These formulations were (i) PCF (0.5% pregelatinized corn flour (PCPF + 0.5% sucrose), (ii) Casecrete (0.5% Casecrete NH-400, a water-soluble casein protein polymer + 0.5% sucrose + 0.25% PCPF 400)), and (iii) skim milk (0.75% powdered skim milk + 0.5% sucrose). In comparison to non-formulated phage populations, these formulations resulted in a 4,700, 38,500, and 100,000-fold increase in phage populations two days after application. In field testing on tomato, the PCF, Casecrete, and skim milk formulations, as well as the non-formulated phages, all reduced disease severity by 22, 33, 27 and 19 percent, respectively, when compared to the usual copper-mancozeb therapy.
