The Effect of Formone Traps and Their Integration with Chemical and Biopesticides in the Fight Against the Humera Bug Batrachedra Amydraula Meyrick on Date Palms

Abstract

The study was conducted during the 2021 season at the Fallujah palm plant to evaluate the effectiveness of some biopesticides Uphold Sc360, Benzostar %5 wDG (Emamectin benzoate) and Bio-T(Bacillus thurengiensis var. Kurestaki) and complement them with formone traps on the minor date moth Batrachedra amydraula and their effect on productive properties (taste weight/kg). The integration transaction between chemical and biopesticides and formone fisheries outperformed other transactions and recorded the highest homicide rate of, %84.626 while the other transactions varied with the homicide rate, 16,725 73,361, 64,441% and % 37.79 for trap transactions and integration with the pesticide Uphold and complete with the pesticide Benzostar respectively. The results showed that there are differences in the moral percentage of death resulting from the duration of exposure to the pesticide, where the killing rate after the duration of exposure of 14 days was the highest and amounted to, %7.457 while the moral percentage of homicide for the duration of exposure to the pesticide after 3 days was the lowest and recorded. %35.808. The pesticides used also clearly affected the productive characteristics of the palm with an moral taste weight (10.42 9.25, 9.92, 10.92, kg compared to the control treatment of 7.25 kg and the weight of the total yield of the transactions 99.75, 91.875, 102.375, 99.75, 105, 98.99, 105, 92.5, 5 92.625 and 109.25 kg compared to the control treatment which amounted to 79.75 kg.
