The aim of the research was to study seasonal changes communities of spider mites and predatory mite Typhlodromus athiasae Porath and Swirski on two apple cultivars (Golden and red Delicious) from orchards located in two regions: Al-Mokharam and Al- Qusayr during the beginning May 2013 and the end of October 2014. The results showed that the highest density of the spider mites was in two essential period in early and mid summer, while T.athiasae started its active with started pery active, that started appear in the may, and the top of its number was in July, The mean density of the mite predator and spider mites was higher on the red Delicious apple cultivar compared to Golden Delicious with significant differences, and its presence was higher in the Al-Qusayr region compared to the Al-Mokharam region with significant differences, also remarked this predator on some surrounding vegetation in these orchards.

Research summary
تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحليل التغيرات الفصلية لمجتمعات الأكاروسات العنكبوتية والأكاروس المفترس Typhlodromus athiasae في بساتين التفاح بمحافظة حمص، سوريا. تم إجراء البحث على صنفي التفاح غولدن وريد ديليشز في منطقتي المخرم والقصير خلال الفترة من مايو 2013 إلى أكتوبر 2014. أظهرت النتائج أن أعلى كثافة للأكاروسات العنكبوتية كانت في أوائل ومنتصف الصيف، بينما بدأت نشاطات الأكاروس المفترس في مايو ووصلت ذروتها في يوليو. كانت الكثافة المئوية للأكاروس المفترس والأكاروسات العنكبوتية أعلى بشكل معنوي على صنف ريد ديليشز مقارنة بغولدن، كما كانت الكثافة أعلى في منطقة القصير مقارنة بالمخرم. لوحظ أيضاً تواجد الأكاروس المفترس على بعض النباتات الطبيعية المحيطة بالبساتين. توصي الدراسة باستخدام أصناف أقل حساسية للأكاروسات الضارة وتطبيق أساليب الإدارة المتكاملة للآفات لتقليل استخدام المبيدات الكيميائية.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعد هذه الدراسة مهمة لفهم التغيرات الفصلية لمجتمعات الأكاروسات في بساتين التفاح، ولكن هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الممكن توسيع نطاق الدراسة لتشمل مناطق أخرى في سوريا للحصول على نتائج أكثر شمولية. ثانياً، لم يتم التطرق بشكل كافٍ إلى تأثير العوامل البيئية الأخرى مثل التربة والرياح على توزيع الأكاروسات. ثالثاً، كان من الممكن استخدام تقنيات تحليل بيانات أكثر تطوراً للحصول على نتائج دقيقة. وأخيراً، كان من الممكن تقديم توصيات أكثر تفصيلاً حول كيفية تطبيق أساليب الإدارة المتكاملة للآفات بشكل عملي في البساتين.

The accuracy of the taxon T. cinnabarinus (Boisduval 1867) as a distinct species, or as a synonym of Tetranychus urticae Koch 1836, is still standing as a controversial issue of taxonomy and as a point of discussion. T. cinnabarinus and T. urticae have been regarded in the first stage of this study as one species, and it was characterized depending on the distinctive characteristics of both genders. In the second stage, the two species were distinguished according to many morphological characters that have been recommended by authors cited T.cinnabarinus as a valid species. The efficiency of some measures adopted to distinguish both T. cinnabarinus and T. urticae were also tested. Measurements didn't match local samples that showed obvious differences, T. cinnabarinus & T. urticae are not likely to be considered as two different species according to recent researches. Both T. cinnabarinus and T. urticae were detected on various wild and cultivated host plants. One hundred samples of plants presented symptoms of tetranychid attacks were collected from different localities in Lattakia province. Both T. urticae and T. cinnabarinus were found on 29, 9 samples, respectively.
Biological characteristics and life table parameters of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch) were studied when fed on leaves of two apple cultivars (i.e. Golden and Starking dilishz) under laboratory conditions 25±1 Cº, relative hum idity 65±5% and 16L:8D. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) by females of T.urticae was higher on leaves of Starking dilishz apple cultivar than on leaves of Golden dilishz apple cultivar (0.30, 0.27 female/female/day) respectively, while the generation time (T) and the time required for doubling the number of community mite (DT) were lower on leaves of Starking dilishz apple cultivars than on leaves of Golden dilishz apple cultivars (13.77, 2.3 days and 14.54, 2.55 days) respectively. The duration of the stages of growth from egg to adult female on leaves of Golden dilishz apple cultivar was longer than on Starking dilishz apple cultivars, where was (13.32 ± 1.15 and 12.22 ± 1.13), respectively, The Total fecundity on Golden dilishz apple cultivar was lower than on Starking dilishz cultivar (83.11 ± 8.91, 101.62 ± 15.48 eggs/female) respectively, The adult longevity on Golden dilishz leaves was lower than on Starking dilishz cultivar (15.33 ± 1.35, 17.14 ± 1.07 days) respectively, These differences on the apple varieties may be due to the chemical content and quality of the food and nature of the host tissue plant and the specifications can affect the rate of oviposition and development. and thus the Starking dilishz apple cultivars was more suitable for the development and reproduction of T. urticae compared with the Golden dilishz apple cultivar.
In this experiment, liquid of soap at three dosages (3, 5 and 7 ml/L) and Abamectin (12.5 ml/100L) has been used with releas of the mite predator, Phytoseiulus persimilis for controlling the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae on bean pla nts under laboratory conditions. Contact toxicity of soap liquid and Abamectin were evaluated and classified according to IOBC. Efficacy of soap liquid at 3 and 5 ml/L was not sufficient to repress spider mite populations while the using of soap liquid at three concentration with predatory mite showed supporter effect and provide satisfactory control whereas soap liquid determined to be slightly harmful- moderately to P. persimilis. Abamectin with predatory mite or if used only gave sufficient control to spider mite population but without supporter effect between Abamectin and predatory mite whereas Abamectin determined to be harmful to P. persimilis. However, using soap at suitable dosage, with or without predatory mite, gave encouraging results for controlling spider mites. Generally, using of soap showed adaptation with predatory mite and proved supporter effect for controlling the spider mites. In despite of, soap showed no phytotoxicity to host plants but needs to be tested in greenhouse and field conditions before application.
This study is concerned with the variations in annual and seasonal surface air temperature in Syria, depending on the data from 12 different meteorological stations in Syria. The analysis of surface temperature trends was performed using Least sq uares (linear regression) and Moving- averaging filters according to Gaussian low- pass filter. Fast Fourier Transformation was used for the analysis of periodicity for the annual mean surface temperature. The results of linear regression showed that the general trend of annual and seasonal temperature in all stations was positive except Latakya. The results of annual and seasonal temperature, fluctuations revealed the existence of important warming period in all stations starting from 1993-1994 for the average of annual and winter temperature while summer, autumn and spring temperatures averages were above the mean during the study period. Periodicities analysis showed that the surface air temperature seems to be affected by solar cycle and quasi- biennial oscillation as well as the El-nino southern oscillation.
This research was conducted in laboratory of Nematology in the Center of Scientific Agricultural Research in Lattakia, to detection of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPNs) in Citrus Orchards soils in Lattakia governorate. A total of 66 composite soil samples were collected from Citrus orchards during (2016- 2017). Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were recovered from soil samples by the insect baiting technique, using seventh instar larvae of the Greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Infective juveniles (IJs) were collected from G. mellonella cadavers using the method of White (1927). EPN isolates were identified based on morphometric methods. Eight isolates were identified as Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar 1976 (Ord. Rhabditida: Fam. Heterorhabditidae) . Positive soil samples ratio was 12.12% of total samples, where EPNs isolates were extracted from regions (Al-Bassa, Al-Magreet, Al-Shamia, Gio, Al-Kharnoba, Al-Sorsokia, Fideo, Borj Al-Qasab)0 The soil textures of the EPNs positive samples were (sandy loam, silt loam, loamy sand, loamy clay sand, clay) with ( pH 6.34- :0.5) and (1.99- 4.82) g\100g organic content. The electrical conductivity of the nematode positive soils varied from 0.33 to 0.82 ds/m.
