Field experiments were carried out at Kaha. Qalyoubia Governorate. to study the infustation of squash and cantaloupe plants by eggs, nymphal and adults of whitefly Bemisia tabaci Genu., the tw-spoted spider mite. Tetrmrychus urticae Koch and aphids. Aphis gossypii Glov., and virus diseases. Two different biotertllizers for each crop were used and different alternative pesticides. Mineral oil (KZ) was the most effective against the three pests and diseases. For squash, the effect of plant oil jojoba was more expressive on the feeding stages and the neem extraction on eggs. for cantaloupe citronella oil was more effective on all the stages after the mineral oil KZ.
