Abdel-Khalek INTRODUCTION Dear guests ladies and Gentlemen, it is me pleasure to welcome you all here on a historic and pharaonic land, near and very close to pyramids, sphinx and on river Nile. After the former 9 workshops hold, also, in very beautiful and well developed two countries i.e. in Germany and in Italy, came the 10th workshop "Practice Oriented Results on Use and Production of Plant Extracts and Pheromones in Integrated and Biological Pest Control." This last workshop held under the auspices of his excellency Prof. Dr. Y. A. Wally, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture & Land Reclamation of Egypt and Prof. Dr. Mohamed Amer, President of Zagazig University, Egypt. It is organized by Zagazig University; Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Center Egypt, African Development Company (ADCO), Egypt, and Trifolio - M GmbH, Germany. We should always remember that the basic, native experiences and knowledge arose from the developing countries, it means that we learn from each other: northern hemisphere from southern hemisphere and vice versa, neem in this case, it could be consider as a very good example. In Egypt the concept of use plant extract based pesticides, and pheromones for free poisonous residues production is a main goal of the politicians and of Egyptian people as well, but still need more attention. Similar idea had grow well and more developed in my mind through scientific discussion and exchange of scientific papers with Prof. Dr. Schmutterer from Giessen University, Germany since more than fifteen years ago and after that I met Mr. Dr. Kleeberg and his colleagues in Lahnau, Hessen, Germany in 1987. Now I am very proud for that. Since 1960 Egypt had faced a lot of problems with different kinds of pests, i.e agricultural medical and veterinary, this may be due to one side on climatic factors and on intensive production and on other side on the farmer's mentality and their culture. This led to over - and misuse of chemical pesticides which need more foreign currency on one had and affected negatively the natural balance, natural enemies, and low quality of production on the other hand. For these all reasons mentioned before, Egypt was in urgent need of proper solutions. Neem and other plant origin formulations and plant extracts based pesticides as well as pheromones all now consider as promising, more safe, and acceptable means instead of chemical pesticides, but still few considerations as: the cost of some plant extracts based pesticides is high in comparison with chemical ones, the persistence of such alternatives under our field conditions specially during the hot seasons in Egypt which may continue more than eight months every year. The private agricultural sector specially now the idea of organic farming systems, many other authorities, institutions, researchers, extension people, first of all, the Deputy Prime Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, all took very accurate and effective steps to use the alternative compounds. Several decisions, resolutions and recommendations are issued during the last few years to organize the use of inputs of materials as fertilizers and pesticides and other biological means as pheromones, plant extracts, …. for agricultural production specially in some Governorates in Egypt, as Fayoum, Ismailia, and all new reclaimed areas in Toshky, the area of Peace Canal in Sinai, east of Suez Canal, … etc.

  • Termites (Isoptera) in the Azores: an Overview of the Four Invasive Species Currently Present in the Archipelago
    Arquipelago - Life and Marine Sciences ISSN: 0873-4704 Termites (Isoptera) in the Azores: an overview of the four invasive species currently present in the archipelago MARIA TERESA FERREIRA ET AL. Ferreira, M.T., P.A.V. Borges, L. Nunes, T.G. Myles, O. Guerreiro & R.H. Schef- frahn 2013. Termites (Isoptera) in the Azores: an overview of the four invasive species currently present in the archipelago. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 30: 39-55. In this contribution we summarize the current status of the known termites of the Azores (North Atlantic; 37-40° N, 25-31° W). Since 2000, four species of termites have been iden- tified in the Azorean archipelago. These are spreading throughout the islands and becoming common structural and agricultural pests. Two termites of the Kalotermitidae family, Cryp- totermes brevis (Walker) and Kalotermes flavicollis (Fabricius) are found on six and three of the islands, respectively. The other two species, the subterranean termites Reticulitermes grassei Clemént and R. flavipes (Kollar) of the Rhinotermitidae family are found only in confined areas of the cities of Horta (Faial) and Praia da Vitória (Terceira) respectively. Due to its location and weather conditions the Azorean archipelago is vulnerable to coloni- zation by invasive species. The fact that there are four different species of termites in the Azores, all of them considered pests, is a matter of concern. Here we present a comparative description of these species, their known distribution in the archipelago, which control measures are being used against them, and what can be done in the future to eradicate and control these pests in the Azores.

    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

  • Prevalence of Bee Lice Braula Coeca (Diptera: Braulidae) and Other Perceived Constraints to Honey Bee Production in Wukro Woreda, Tigray Region, Ethiopia
    Global Veterinaria 8 (6): 631-635, 2012 ISSN 1992-6197 © IDOSI Publications, 2012 Prevalence of Bee Lice Braula coeca (Diptera: Braulidae) and Other Perceived Constraints to Honey Bee Production in Wukro Woreda, Tigray Region, Ethiopia 12Adeday Gidey, Shiferaw Mulugeta and 2Abebe Fromsa 1Tigray Region, Bureau of Agriculture, Ethiopia 2College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Jimma University, P.O. Box: 307, Jimma, Ethiopia Abstract: A cross sectional study was conducted from November 2008 to March 2009 in Wukro Woreda to determine the prevalence of bee lice and other constraints to honey bee production in the area. The result revealed an overall Braula coeca (bee louse) prevalence of 4% in the brood and 5.5% in the adult honey bees, respectively. The prevalence of louse infestation recorded in brood and adult bee of the three peasant associations of Wukro Woreda were, 3.3%, 5% in Genfel, 4.9%, 6% in Adikisandid and 3%, 5%, Aynalem, respectively. There was no statistically significant variation in overall prevalence rates of lice infestation between brood and adult bees and locations (P> 0.05). Factors perceived as major constraints to honeybee production by 51 interviewed farmers were frequent occurrence of drought, lack of bee forage, existence of pests and predators and pesticide poisoning in decreasing order of importance. The beekeepers also listed pests and predators that they considered important to be honey badgers, ant like insects, wax moth, birds, spiders, monkeys, snakes and lizards. According to the response of beekeepers, honey badger attack was a serious problem in the Woreda. This study revealed the presence of real threat to beekeeping and honey production from louse infestation, predators, chemical pollution and drought.

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy Of
    : Insects and Other Arthropods of Economic Importance in Indiana in 1959 1 John V. Osmun, Purdue University 2 Weather conditions in Indiana which influence insect occurrence and abundance were in sharp contrast to those experienced in 1957 and 1958. The spring months were near normal, characterized by plentiful rainfall and temperatures only slightly above the averages expected. Insect hatch- ing and emergence responded normally to these early conditions. Early in July, drought conditions began to develop in central and northern Indiana and continued through August with accompanying high tempera- tures; humidity was high. September moisture conditions improved and most agricultural crops matured successfully although earlier than is customary. In general the climatic conditions favored most economically important insects in this region. One new pest, the cattle face fly, appeared in large numbers and is described below. A review of the records and abundance of certain species follows Field and Crop Insects Corn earworm [Heliothis zea (Boddie)]. Tippecanoe County: Ac- cording to light trap collections, corn earworm moths were about five times more numerous in 1959 than in 1958. From June 12 to September 20, 3,636 moths were collected at a single light trap as compared to 752 in 1958. The peak of collections in both years was during the week of Sep- tember 4-10, 2,307 moths being collected during this period in 1959 and 368 in 1958. Sweet corn silking during the early part of September was very heavily attacked with 90% infested ears. Lawrence County: Moths were about 2V2 times more abundant at light traps in 1959 than in 1958.
