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 both 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.

A survey of the natural enemies of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausm.) was conducted in unsprayed orchards in the mountain region of Sweida, Syria. Twenty-six species were found, belonging to Coleoptera, Dermaptera, Diptera, Heteroptera , Neuroptera. Coccinella septempunctata L. was the most abundant predator at the beginning of the season. The coccinellid Oenopia conglobata (L.) occurred in less numbers and had a secondary importance. Predatory bugs had a high activity in summer. Also, the aphelinid parasite, Aphelinus mali (Haldeman), was observed with a high effectiveness at late summer and at the end of the growing season.
Experiments were conducted to study the effect of four chickpea plant densities (٢٠, ٢٥،٣٣,٣ and ٥٠ plants/m٢) during ١٩٨٩, ١٩٩٠ and ١٩٩١ seasons on podborers in southern Syria in three chichpea cultivares (Ghab l, Ghab ٢ and local).
The aim of this study is to use the measured values of the magnetic susceptibility in the classification of the basaltic rocks and their different differentiation degrees as an additional discrimination factor to the geochemical analyses, which we re applied on the basalts of southern and southeastern Syria. So the magnetic susceptibility of ٢٠٤ specimens sampled from all the ٧ basaltic groups in Qasr Shbeeka area in addition to ٦٢ specimens sampled from three groups from outside the studied area were measured. This led to the determination of all the magnetic susceptibility ranges, their mean values and their standard deviation of the basaltic rocks in the area.
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.
