TI - Population flactuations of aphis craccivora and liriomyza trifolii and their endoparasitoids on certain faba bean varieties KW - Fava bean KW - Diseases and pests KW - Liriomyza trifolii KW - Biological control N1 - Includes reference N2 - Infestation by the aphid, Aphis craccivora and leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii (Burg) and its associated parasitoids on four faba bean Vicia faba varieties; Misr1, Misr2, Giza 40 and Giza 429 were studied at Shandawel, Sohag Governorate during 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons. February and March were found to be the most important months for the rate of infestation by both pests. Susceptibility of faba bean varieties could be arranged (in both months) ascendingly according to the mean of infestation by aphids per plant as follows: Misr1 (40.6) and Misr2 (42.6) Giza40 (54.2) and Giza429 (58.7). Also, for leafminer the arrangement was Misr2 (18.2%), Giza429 (19.8%), Misr1 (23.9%) and Giza 40 (26.1%) UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2006/AAS/5106/2/531.pdf ER -
