Abstract |
The seasonal activity of the peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella Zeller was investigated during 2004 and 2005 seasons. The data revealed that the infested twigs empty from larvae (15%) were higher than that with larvae (1.25%) in February. The situation was reverse in April which recorded 8% and 14.75% for both, respectively. In fruits, infestation began to appear in the third week of March which recorded 2% whereas the maximum rate was recorded in May (16.75%)
Three species of hymenopterous parasitoids were found, they were; Apanteles ruficrus Haliday (Fam. Braconidae), Diplazon laetatorus Fab. (Fam. Ichneumonidae) and Microgaster tiro Reinhard (Fam. Braconidae). These parasitoids reached its maximum during April (13.5%) which seems to be more active which were positively correlated with the rate of infestation (r = + 0.799).
In spite of presence of four predatory species (Coccinella undecimpunctata L, Rodalia cardinalis Mulsant, and Scymnus syriacus Marseul (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Syrphus sp. (Diptera: Syrphidae)), but it seems to be less active which recorded very slight positive correlation with the rate of infestation (r =+0.423)
