This research was aimed to study the behavior of adults of the Longhorn beetle, Cerambyx dux F. (Cerambycidae, Coleoptera) on apple tree. Results showed that the adults have a diurnal habit.The adults emerged from pupa was sexually matured, and fed only for survival.

The efficacy of insecticide and plant extracts were tested against beet flea beetle, Chaetocnema tibialis (Illiger) during 2008 and 2009 seasons. Six pesticides were evaluated against beet flea beetle, results showed that Cyperino gave the highest effective percentage (90.88) followed by Cypermethrin (90.69%), in comparison with Nimadol (49.35%) after two weeks of treatment. Four plant extracts were evaluated against beet flea beetle in comparison with Sopreen. Results showed that Melia azedarach L. extract gave the highest effective percentage (60.81) followed Styrax officinalis L. leaves and branches and Capsicum annuum L. extracts by 31.35, 28.44 and 16.57, respectively, in comparison with Sopreen (58.55%) after 7 days of treatment. Percentage of efficacy decreased gradually by increasing the period of exposure after treatment for plant extracts from 63.19% after 3 days to 51.80% after 10 days of Melia azedarach L. extract. Whereas the efficacy percentage of Sopreen increased from 41.67% after 3 days to 74.57% after 10 days of treatment.
Ash toxicity of burning pruning residues of three plant species i.e. apple, grape and olive was tested against adults of cowpea seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera, Bruchidae) using the following concentrations: (5, 10, 20, 40 an d 80) g/kg of cowpea seed. The study was carried out in incubator at fixed temperature and humidity at Biotechnology Research Center, Al-baath University. Readings were taken after (24, 48 and 72) h of treatment, and corrected mortality rates were calculated and values of LC50, LC90, LT50 and LT90.
The study was carried out on the lithium Lubricants in the molten state under the effect of tempearture, shear stress (τ), and shear rate (γ) by using capillary viscometer, the corrections have been done to expermintal data. It was found from the obtained results that, real viscosity ηc decreased with increasing real shear rate (γc). Also it was found that the lithium Lubricants is a pseudoplastic material (n<1).
This study was conducted on predator Coccinella septempunctata at laboratory conditions , under average of temperature 20± 2Cº. Results confirmed: Average of life cycle time was :27.3±4.1 days ( egg development time 6.5±0.5 , larvae 13.2±0.5 , pup a 7.5±0.5 days).Also the study of predation efficiency showed that the average number of aphids consumed by each of the four instars larvae were (57.9±10.6 , 63.7±9.4 , 66.5±8.3 , and 348±43.4) respectively. Therefore the fourth larva instar seemed more predation efficiency, as compared to other three instars ,it consumed double that the three instars consumed, but adult consumed 121±4.5 number of aphids in one day.
A Laboratory study was conducted during 2010 on the biology of seed beetles: Callosobruchus chinensis, C. maculatus and C. analis (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) on lentil seeds for the first specie and chickpea seeds for the last two species. These beetles completed 10, 8 and 5 generations respectively when they were active (from March to November for the first and second species and from April to October for the third species ). C. maculatus laid an average of 100.29 ± 18.26 eggs over a period of 11.14 ± 0.64 days, C. chinensis laid 83.29 ± 6.32 eggs over 6.43 ± 0.49 days and C. analis 75.29 ± 9.05 eggs over 6.71 ± 0.70 days. The total development process from egg to adult takes an average of 25.87 ± 3.29, 31.43 ± 5.09 and 35.36 ± 3.49 days respectively for species under the ambient laboratory conditions. There was no difference in the development time between males and females except for C. maculatus, where the male emerged about twelve hours before the female. Sex ratio (male: female) was more in favour of female than male in C. chinensis (1: 1.1) and more in favour of male than female in C. maculatus (1.1: 1), but equal in C. analis (1: 1). The parasite wasp Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard, 1881) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) could be considered the first recorded on C. maculatus in Syria.
