This research was conducted in laboratory of Nematology in the Center of Scientific Agricultural Research in Lattakia, to detection of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPNs) in Citrus Orchards soils in Lattakia governorate. A total of 66 composite soil samples were collected from Citrus orchards during (2016- 2017). Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) were recovered from soil samples by the insect baiting technique, using seventh instar larvae of the Greater wax moth Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Infective juveniles (IJs) were collected from G. mellonella cadavers using the method of White (1927). EPN isolates were identified based on morphometric methods. Eight isolates were identified as Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar 1976 (Ord. Rhabditida: Fam. Heterorhabditidae) . Positive soil samples ratio was 12.12% of total samples, where EPNs isolates were extracted from regions (Al-Bassa, Al-Magreet, Al-Shamia, Gio, Al-Kharnoba, Al-Sorsokia, Fideo, Borj Al-Qasab)0 The soil textures of the EPNs positive samples were (sandy loam, silt loam, loamy sand, loamy clay sand, clay) with ( pH 6.34- :0.5) and (1.99- 4.82) g\100g organic content. The electrical conductivity of the nematode positive soils varied from 0.33 to 0.82 ds/m.

Research summary
نُفِذَ البحث في مخبر النيماتودا في مركز البحوث العلمية الزراعية باللاذقية، وهدف إلى تقصي وجود النيماتودا الممرضة للحشرات (EPN) في ترب بساتين الحمضيات في محافظة اللاذقية. تم جمع 66 عينة ترابية مركبة من بساتين الحمضيات خلال العامين 2016-2017. استخدمت طريقة طعوم العمر اليرقي الأخير من دودة الشمع الكبرى Galleria mellonella للكشف عن وجود النيماتودا. تم تمييز الجنس Heterorhabditis من خلال تغير لون يرقات دودة الشمع المصابة إلى لون أحمر قرميدي، وبعض الصفات المورفولوجية. بينت النتائج أن 12.12% من العينات احتوت على النيماتودا الممرضة للحشرات، وتم الحصول على 8 عزلات محلية وجدت في مناطق مختلفة من اللاذقية. أظهرت النتائج أن النيماتودا توجد في ترب مختلفة القوام وذات درجات حموضة ومحتوى عضوي متفاوتين. تم تحديد النوع H. bacteriophora لجميع العزلات باستخدام القياسات البيومترية للطور اليرقي المعدي.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: البحث يقدم معلومات قيمة حول وجود النيماتودا الممرضة للحشرات في بساتين الحمضيات في محافظة اللاذقية، ويعد إضافة مهمة للأبحاث الزراعية في المنطقة. ومع ذلك، يمكن تحسين الدراسة من خلال توسيع نطاق العينات لتشمل مناطق أخرى في سوريا، مما يعطي صورة أشمل لتوزيع النيماتودا. كما يمكن تعزيز البحث بإجراء تجارب ميدانية لتقييم فعالية هذه النيماتودا في مكافحة الآفات الحشرية بشكل عملي، مما يعزز من تطبيق النتائج في إدارة الآفات الزراعية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يمكن تحسين توثيق البيانات البيئية المحيطة بمواقع العينات لتحديد العوامل البيئية التي تؤثر على وجود النيماتودا بشكل أدق.

A survey of infection by Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) was conducted during a visit to 14 citrus orchards in different regions in Tartous governorate in the Syrian Coast during the spring of 2012. We collected a total of /691/ samples of different vari eties. Most of the samples were collected from plants with symptoms similar to symptoms caused by viral diseases (dwarfing, yellowing, mosaic, quick- decline, vein clearing, boat or spoon-shaped leaves), while other samples did not carry such symptoms due to the possible presence of latent infections. The samples were tested by using Tissue Blot immunoassay (TBIA). The Results showed that the rate of infection by CTV was 34.15% in the tested samples and the distribution of CTV in citrus orchards was by various ratios. The highest percentage of infection was detected in AL- Hamidiah (62.50%), whereas the lowest infection percentage detected was in Talin nursery (10%). Common orange Balady was the most infected by Citrus tristeza virus (41.43%). No virus infection was recorded in Mandalina samples.
This research carried out in the orchards of the Stamo area province of Lattakia citrus during the years 2014-2015, and the results of the study showed that the insect black cortical one generation per year with a second partial generation during t he summer. Under the insect overwintering nymph stage in the second age is the most able to withstand the low-temperature phase in the winter. Mermaid back age-second activity in the beginning of spring to complete their life cycle where the female young appear in early April on each of the branches and leaves, to show adult females with the beginning of the month of May and starts the eggs to hatch in the middle of this month and will continue until the month of July. The study found that the nymph stage second phase age is the most common during the season at each of the branches and leaves. Observed the death of large numbers of the insect in the phasic nymph third age and female fledgling stage, which evolved during the same season, as the study of the distribution and the spread of the different phases of the insect on the plant parts showed that the branches were more injury than securities with higher than moral in the population density of the presence of eccentric nymph and adult stages the branches compared with the leaves.
The research aims to Identify some species of aphids on plant families, and test the possibility of transfer to the local isolate of Cucumber mosaic virus. Two species of aphids in bean fields and citrus orchards have been defined, namely: Black be an aphid Aphis fabae and Cotton aphid Aphis gossypii, respectively, depending on the specialized classification keys. The infection proved vital feedback and testing the function using plants: Nicotiana tabacum and Chenopodium quinoa transfer each of the A. fabae and A. gossypii local isolate of Cucumber mosaic virus.
The aim of this research was to investigate the changes of vegetation and regeneration of plant species in Kassab forests after 1991 fire. The study area is located in the North western part of Syria in the middle of Al-Baier and Al- Bassit forest s to the North of Latakia. Thirty five plant surveys (Relevé) were carried out in the study area during 2009 according to Braun-Blanquet method included the burned area and the nearby locations of non-burned forest. By comparing the plant surveys (Relevé), results showed good regeneration of most plant species that were in the study area before the fire. Three forms of vegetation were distinguished in the study area: 1 - The areas where dominance is shared between Pinus brutia Ten. and Quercus cerris L. subsp. pseudocerris (Boiss.) Chalabi. 2 - Areas dominated by Pinus brutia Ten. with accompanying species from Eu-Mediterranean zone and supra Mediterranean zone. 3 – Areas where Pinus brutia Ten. and Quercus cerris L. subsp. pseudocerris (Boiss.) Chalabi are partly or completely absent, and dominated by shrubs and grass species.
In this study the urban system of the governorate of Lattakia has been examined through the applicability of measurements of the equality of spatial distribution patterns of cities (Demangeon Index and Lorenz curve), and those of Primacy and cities size distribution patterns (the Law of Primate city of Mark Jefferson, 1939, the Index of Primacy of Stewart, and the hierarchical order of city through the Rank-size Rule - George, K. Zipf, 1949). It has been identified on the size of the imbalance equilibrium in the system urban cities through Urban Isostastic Index. The results of the study showed a clustered patterns of the spatial distribution of urban centers according to the value of Demangeon Index (0.42) and unequal distribution of urban population to the cities (75% of urban population are distributed on 15% of cities). It showed also a great domination of the primate city of Latakia on the urban system where the population volume was (6.1) time bigger than the volume of the next cities according to Primacy Index; a great decrease of the real value of the next cities comparing with the theoretical value of Law of Primate City (16.4%) against (67%), and disability to applying the Rank-size Rule.
