This experiment was carried out to study the effect of increasing gamma radiation doses (up to 24 GY) on the eggs of Callosobruchus maculatus, at different ages, to determine their effect on egg hatching rate, and other biological traits of the emerging adults from eggs treated with sub – lethal doses. It has been noticed that the low gamma radiation doses killed most of the one –day old eggs before hatching, and no adult insect could emerge from hatching those eggs, and the dose of 12GY caused the same effect, but on two day-old eggs. when eggs were at the age of 3, 4, and 5 days, gamma radiation didn’t have influenced on the embryo development, but demise percentage, increased after hatching. The percentage of emerged adults was only 1.8% for the eggs treated with 16 GY gamma radiation.

The bio-effect of anise oil and its fruit extracts(alcoholic and aqueous extract) to control the cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus that infest stored leguminous crops was investigated. The study was conducted according to three treatments: e vaporation, direct spray of insects and food spray. The anise oil was used at different concentrations from 0.05 to 5%. Whereas, the aqueous and .alcoholic fruit extracts were used as 30%.
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.
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.
Effect of different doses of Gamma radiation (٢٠٠, ٤٠٠, and ٨٠٠ Rad) on rooting of different clones of poplar was investigated. Results showed that the dose of ٢٠٠ rad had a great effect on rooting. Percentage and the root length. On the other han d, the dose of ٨٠٠ rad had a negative effect on rooting. The negative effect could be to the breakdown of the auxins in the cuttings. It had been noticed that there was similarity among means of root weights with regard to clones of Populus alba cv. buchovina. As for as the doses were concened, these were no signix ficant diffecsnses among maens of that ments.
This research was conducted at AlTieba Research Station, General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research (GCSAR) in 2012 and 2013 seasons, to study the effect of different doses of gamma rays on growth and productivity of local garlic Alli um sativum L. cultivar “Yabroudi” in Syria. Cloves were exposed to four different doses of gamma rays of 60Co source 1, 2.5 ,5 ,10 ) Gray). Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used .The results showed the surviving plants after 60 days of planting declined with the increase of dose levels. The percentage of dead plants at the doses (2.5, 5 Gray) was 50 and 54 %, respectively. Also, it was possible to obtain a larger number of viable mutations. Therefore, they could be considered as close as to LD50. The dose (10 Gray) had a negative effect on the length of the cloves’ germination period, leading to the death of all the plants after 60 days of planting, this could be considered lethal dose (LD100). The response of the local garlic cultivar Yabroudi to the low-dose (1 Gray) of gamma ray was higher comparing with other doses. This is due to the positive effect of this dose (Stimulus) on the vegetative growth that was reflected on the productivity indicators. The productivity reached (4.50 kg/m2), which was significantly superior to the control (2.91 kg/ m2) and the two doses (2.5, 5 Gray), respectively (2.26, 1.60 kg/ m2).
