Cryptolaemus montrouzieri Mulsant and the local predator, Nephus includens Kirch were reared on the Planococcus citri Risso in Lattakia Insectary for Rearing Natural Enemies. A comparative study was done applying the most important biological parameters (Predation rate, life cycle, longevity, starvation tolerance, fecundity, sex ratio, adult emergence) for both predators under laboratory conditions. Research results proved the overpass of that predation rate of C. montro- uzieri males and females, was greater than that of males and females of N. includens, by three folds with significant differences. Similarly the perdition rate of the third instar, in first predator over passed three times the rate of the second predator, with significant differences reaching 10.53± 2.41, 30.87±3.76 nymphs (second nymphal instars)/day. The results proved a significant rise of fecundity index in females of C. monrtouzieri over that of predator, N. includens by 1.8 times (50.70±13.63, and 107.3±14.87, respectively), while both predators were equal in values of other biological parameters with no significant differences (biological development stages, longevity of males and females, adults emergence and sex ratio).

The ladybird predatos (Coccinella septempunctata L.) was bred by the cross mating method, which is followed in all international bio – control centers, to be transformed from the natural local strain into laborators one, which enable continous pro duction and collection of predator groups without affecting the numerical measurements of the most relevant morphological parameters, such as insect's body length, and the biological traits, such as fertility, predators efficacy multiplication, longivity, metamorphesis duration, and sex ratio.
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.
Macrolophus caliginosus (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a zoophytophagous predator widely used in integrated pest management programs in both greenhouse and open-field . Mass rearing of Macrolophus caliginosus is greatly dependent on Ephestia kuehniella Z eller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs as food source. Moreover, the addition of this factitious prey after the inoculative releases of Macrolophus caliginosus under field conditions is recommended to facilitate establishment of this mirid. However, E. kuehniella eggs are expensive and availability is limited. One possible strategy to reduce the amount of E. kuehniella eggs needed is the provision of sugar.This study was conducted during the period between May and November in 2014 in the labs of the Lattakia center of rearing bio enemis. In this work, the effect of sucrose as nutritional supplement on selected life-history traits of M.caligenosus was studied. The addition of sucrose (100 g/l) ad libitum to a diet of E. kuehniella eggs significantly increased the progeny of Macrolophus caliginosus and did not affect survival of nymphs nor developmental time. Moreover, addition of sucrose significantly reduced the number of E. kuehniella eggs consumed. These results may have practical implications of interest in mass rearing systems of M.caliginosus and its management in fields and greenhouses as a part of integrated control programs.
This research investigates the actual beginning of experimental animation films and their main directions. The research also reviews the most important pioneers of abstract experimental animation in both Europe and the U. S. A. such as Leopold Surv age, Viking Eggeling and Hans Richter, on the one hand, and the most important film productions and the techniques used, on the other. We move on after that to the most wellknown figures of the pictorial school in Europe as Lotte Reinger, Berthold Bartosch and Alexander Alexeieff. The research moves on to take up the review of the contemporary experimental directions which began in the early 1950's and continued up to the present time, the directions which produced significant figures and experiments of paramount importance in the history of animation , such as Walter Disney, Ivan Vano, Osamo Tezuka, Norma Mclaren in addition to John Halas. These approaches shape the future of animation. The present research sheds light on the significance of both previous (earlier) experiments and the prospect of animation films.
In this research, nine inbreed lines of squash (Cucurbita pepo, L) have been studied during 2007-2008 seasons. The study contains plant phonological phases, and the most important morphological and productivity characteristics related to fruit yie ld to evaluate the characteristics of every line and identify the economical lines to use it in the breeding programs. The study showed genetic variation between the groups for some important economic characteristics as (the number of fruits per plant, percentage of female flowers, yield per plant, stem long and number of nodes till the first female flower). The study also showed that the inbreed lines of squash is a rich source of variation and can be use in a breeding program to product squash hybrid. The results appeared also the positive correlation between the productivity and some important economic characteristics, such as percentage of female flowers (r=0.871**), the number of fruits per plant (r=0.976**). Whereas negative correlation with the nodes till he first female flower (r=- 0.494) and internodes long (r=- 0.447). Using cluster analysis, the inbreed lines were classified into 2 distinct classes A and B, Class A contained seven inbreed wreathe class B contained Tow inbreed lines.
