Gypsy moth (Lymantriadispar) is polyphagous insect .Therefore we had conducted an experiment to determine the influence of the following plant hosts(Malussp, Quercussp ,Prunus. armeniaca, Platanusprientalis, Pinusnigra) onthe growth and development of gypsy moth's larvae. The results showed that duration of larval development was the longest onPinusnigra(77,1±5,46) days and the shortest on Malussp(37,5±4,96) days,for larval growth in length and weight larvae had gained the higher length and weight on Malussp in the order (62±1,9)m.m (2136±9,62) mg. on the other hand the lower length and weight were on Pinusnigra in the order (38±2,44)m.m (545±7,91) m.g. mortality percent of larvae was least on Malussp.and highest on Pinusnigra. Finally, pupae had the best weight with shortest development duration on the Malussp, while the least weight and longest development duration were on the Pinusnigra. There were proportional indirect of larval percentage mortality on relation to plant host, it was highest on lower preference plant.

Six different isolates of the fungus Beauveria bassiana were isolated from local soils, which collected from two different ecosystems (Natural and Cultivated), at the Syrian Coastal region, using the "Galleria Bait Method". The mortality caused by these fungal isolates against Galleria mellonella larvae was 100% after 3- 5 days post treatment. The pathogenicity of these isolates was studied against 3rd instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis to detect the most virulent isolate. The mortality ranged from 75% to 100% for the all isolates at the 5th day post treatment. Spore suspension of the most virulent isolate was used at concentration 106spore/ml by spraying it on the pupae of S. littoralis. The percentage of adult emergence was 42% in the fungal treatment compared to the control treatment.
This research was carried out during 2014 - 2015 in Scientific Centre for Agricultural Researches. This research aims to determine the effect of some biological and genetic indicators on the success of Carob seedlings in nurseries by studying three kinds of grafting: Auto-grafting, Homo-grafting and Hetero-grafting. Rootstock aged one year and resulted by two chosen genetic types, namely, SnobarJablah and Alhafa were used. Scions, they were taken either from seedlings with age of one year resulted by these two types or from branches aged one year from the selected two types as well. Grafting was conducted by using Whip Graft way in spring. Auto-grafting has indicated the importance and the role of biological and genetic factors for grafts and their impact on rates of grafting success. Concerning rates of success, the results have shown that Auto-grafting surpassed Hetero-grafting with a significant reference for both of two genetic types, regardless if the used scion was young or old. In addition, Auto-grafting has shown surpass on other kinds of grafting, in terms of subsequent growth of scions. On the other hand, a variety in biological indicators values has been noticed between the two genetic studied types. In favour of SnobarJablahtype againstAlhafaʼs type. However, the differences of values were not significant for the most of conducted measures. As for the age of scions, the results have pointed out that values of Hetero-grafting with young scions surpassed values of Hetero-grafting with old scions in terms of the rate of grafting success and values of biological studied indicators.
The broodstock of Blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) were reared in glass aquaria in the laboratory of the High Institute of Marine Research to study the effect of different water salinities on growth rates of those broodstocks and comparing the resul ts with those obtained from the natural environment (freshwater). The broodstock were transported from El-Sin Fish Farm- Banias to the culture aquaria at the beginning of April (2011). After acclimation to the three studied water salinities (7‰, 14‰ and 19 ‰) in three aquaria (the forth aquarium was left as a control: fresh water), the fish were fed on a diet containing 35 % protein till satiation, twice a day for 72 days. The results revealed that the broodstock reared at 14‰ Salinity produced the best weight gain, where the weight gain was 18.76 g/fish with a feed conversion rate (FC) of 2.04. The weight gain was 17.16 g/fish for the fish reared at 7‰ with a FC= 2.51, while broodstock reared at fresh water gained 14.63g/fish with a FC= 2.97. The worst weight gain was obtained from the broodstock reared at 19‰ (9.24 g/fish) with a FC= 3.7.
The effect of some essential oils taken from Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Citrus limonum and Rosmarinus Officinalis was investigated in relation to the growth of bacteria Paenibacillus larvae which causes American Foulbrood disease that affects world hon ey bees Apis mellifera L. The study was carried out in the laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University from 2012 till 2013. This is in order to contribute to preparing an integrated pest management program for American Foulbrood disease. The oils were extracted from the plants using steam distillation. The effects of the concentrations of oils on the growth of P. larvae were tested between (3.90625 - 500 μg/ml) using agar disc diffusion in petri plates. Results showed that the essential oils used stop the growth of P. larvae in some of their concentrations. The minimal inhibitory concentrations which stop the growth of P. larvae of the oils of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Citrus limonum and Rosmarinus officinalis were recorded at 31.25 μg/ml, 62.5 μg/ml, 125 μg/ml respectively.
This research aims at studying the effect of irrigation with different levels of NaCl on the growth and development of Syrian pears (Pyrus syriaca). The results showed that: 1. Salt stress reduced chlorophyll content (a,b and a+b) in salt treatment s compared to the control , which contained 67.48 mg/g (a), 111.62 mg/g (b) and 204.76 mg/g (a+b), while 1750 ppm of NaCl treatment contained 49.34 mg/g (a), 49.86 mg/g (b) and 158.77 mg/g (a+b) respectively. Treatment with 500 ppm of NaCl increased significantly chlorophyll content compared to other salt treatments. 2. Leaves content of proline increased with increasing NaCl levels. It reached 870.8 ng/g when irrigation water contained 1250 ppm of NaCl, while it decreased in other salt treatments. Leaves dry matter increased with the increase salt levels (24.50% for the control, and 44.86% for 1750 ppm of NaCl).
