The functional and numerical response of Aphidoletes aphidimyza feeding on different densities of third instar nymphs of cotton aphid Aphisg ossypii on cucumber leaves was studied in laboratory at a temperature (25 ± 2 ° C) and relative humidity of 70 %. The predator consumed 2.8 ± 0.64 nymph/day, when prey density was 5 adults. The predator consumption increased with increasing prey density. At 60 and 80 preys the predator consumed 34.2 ± 5.36 and 36.4 ± 5.72 nymph /Day consequintly. Ther was a very high significant correlation (r = 0.93) between the number of prey consumed and the density of prey, So according Holling (1959) model of functional response, we put A. aphidimyza predator under the third type (type III). The increase of prey density caused increasing in egg numbers of predator The predator laid eggs in few numbers 19 ± 4.0 eggs / female when fed on 5 prey /day, and these numbers of eggs laid by predator increased to 28.6 ± 4.48 egg/female under prey density of 10 prey /day. the increase of eggs numbers reached to 63.4 ± 6.48 egg/female when prey density was 80 prey/day so we noticed the predator oviposition increased with high prey density, and these increase caused by increase in predation efficiency and these lead to another kind of response called numerical response.

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.
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.
This work aimed to study the environmental factors influencing growth stopped of olive leaf midge Dasineura oleae F. loew (Dipter: Cecidomyiidae) and its host (Hymenoptera: Platygasteridae) Platygaster demades Walker, such as temperature and reser vation period. A series of experiments had been done to end this phenomena of larvae by changing temperatures from suitable temperature at 20±1 °C accompanied with different photoperiods 16 L: 8D and relative humidity of 75± 5% during 15, 30, and 60 days, to low temperature at 7± 1 °C accompanied with complete darkness and relative humidity of 75± 5% for 15 days. This had been done after 30, 60, 90 and 120 days of growth stopped.
Yhis study was investigated at Agriculture Faculty of Damascus university during the agricultural season of 2012/2013 in order to determine the effect of foliar spray with seaweed extract (5 and 10 g/l) and GA3 (50 and 100 ppm) on the growth and p roduction of local red onion (Baladi) at different levels of irrigation (100, 75, and 50% of field capacity). Onion bulblets were planted in pots and plants were treated when they had 3-4 leaves and every two weeks until full vegetative growth.
This study was conducted during the period from 10/9/2016 to 9/9/2017 in Demsarkho orchards area (Lattakia) on the west coast of Syrian Arab Republic. The study aimed to identificate "Syrphidae" in this area. Samples were collected by yellow dishes in weekly rate. A total of 341 Syrphid flies were collected and they belong to 15 species form 10 genera. The most abundant species was Sphaerophoria scripta (relative abundance 33.43%), followed by Episyrphus balteatus (20.53%), then Melanostoma mellinum (14.66%).
