Abstract

Al-Kallabe, H.H., A.A. Mohammed and A.A. Kareem. 2023. Evaluation of the Efficiency of Tamarix aphylla Leaves Extract in Controlling the Different Roles of Green Peach, Myzus persicae. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(4): 361- 368. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.4.361368 Green peach aphids M. persicae, are considered a major insect pest worldwide. In the current study, the effectiveness of the leaf extract of the Tamarix aphylla plant in controlling the insect was evaluated using three concentrations (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 ml/100 ml water) in the laboratory. The current study showed that all the concentrations used gave a high mortality rate of nymphs and adults (100%) six days after treatment. The rate of aphid production decreased significantly and reached 0.0 nymphs per adult five days after treatment. The results indicated that Tamarix leaf extract has a high potential for biological control of M. persicae. Keywords: Tamarix aphylla, Extract, Myzus persicae
