Cydia funebrana is the most important pests on almond and apple fruit, caused damage to fruits and fall down before ripen but the most important damage became in stores, In Syria, almond plantations are locations mainly in central area, This study was done in almond orchards during 2004 – 2008, we found: C.funebrana had two generations in a year, but in 2008 had a third generation that entered in diapauses in late time of the year. The flying graph study showed that first peak was in late May (diapaused larvae), second in first days of July (first generation), However a third peak was noted in mid-August (second generation) in 2008. First, second and third generations lasted for 84, 74 and 44 days, respectively. parasitismstages: one Parasitoid belongs Chalcidoidea egg–larvae parasitoid, Ascogaster quadridentatus, five Parasitoid from larvae parasitoid, Bracon sp., Eupelmus sp., Pentalitomastix pyralis, Monodontomus sp., and fifth one Goniozus sp., and two Parasitoid from larvaepupa parasitoid, and one parasitoid from pupa parasitoid, it,s Pteromalus sp.

A trial to control codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., by releasing the egg parasitoid Trichogramma cacoeciae Marchal, was conducted for the first time at Syria in Al-Sweida Mountains, ٢٠٠١. This experiment was carried out in a young commercial appl e orchard in Jabal Urman, Sweida. T. cacoeciae (Sy٢ strain) was released two times at a rate of ١٥٠ parasitoids/ tree/ release. Efficacy in reduction of fruit damage was ٣٤,٣٧٪ comparing with untreated one. Results showed that ٢ applications of this rate at the second generation were not efficient to prevent damage above the economic threshold but it could be used as a part of an integrated pest management program of this pest. Several factors that affect Trichogramma efficacy in the field are discussed.
A simple method for laboratory rearing of codling moth on artificial diet is explained and tested. The present study revealed important aspects of the insect rearing. Rearing quality raised up to ٩٥٪ under high sanitary rearing conditions. Optimal number of larvae in each container (enough amount of diet per larva) and suitable uncrowded moths in rearing cage were determined to give the best fertility.
A field study has been carried out in order to know the important species belonging to the family Syrphidae Diptera . in some field in Ezraa & jellien of Daraa governorate during the period 1/3 /2003 till 30/8/2003 .
In this study Carpophilus hemipterus L. was recorded for the first time on fig fruits in Sheen ( Homs- Syria).Morphological study showed that adult (female and male) have unoval shape measure 3- 4mm,with marked dark brown color and have two yellow spots on its wings and their antennae are clopped.
The life cycle of Cacopsylla bidens was studied in the souther region of Syria (Sweida) during 1999-2000. This insect was first identified in Syria as asole-host species, which enters the winter dormancy as an adult out of the pear orchards in bot h the sites. The insect enters the pear orchard at the end of the winter, and the summer adult insects emerge after the fall of flowers petals, and continue the whole. Summer up to mid of autumn, and the winter form emerges during the first 10 days of August. The harsh environmental conditions and the biological enemies (predators) push the insect to migrate out of the pear orchards during autumn. A survey and identification of the insect natural enemies was carried out during the whole study period, they were Anthocoris nemoralis, Orius horvanthi, Campylomma spp., Deraecoris spp., and Psallus spp., which registered on C. bidens at few locations, in Alkafer district on the trees of Pyrus Syriaca during summer. The encyrtidae parasoitoid Trechnites psyllae was registered for the first time in Syria on the nymphs of C. bidens as a dominant parasite. The highest percentage of parasite (66%) was found at Saragaia Researchs Station during the autumn generations. And also the parasite Ennotus spp. was noticed, but with low density at the end of the season.
