Abstract
Alternative means of control of Worophorus varius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in apricot orchards by horticultural, mechanical, microbial, and local chemical treatments were evaluated at Tokh district, Qalubia governorate during one and two successive years (1999/2000 and 2000/2001). The respective rates reductions of infestation with the following 12 treatments applied for one and two successive years were as follows: dormant pruning (16.19 increased to 25.76%), summer pruning (6.73 increased to 8.59%), dormant and summer pruning (22.12 increased to 32.32%), worming (11.65 increased to 18.69°k), bacterial or fungal (4.00 or 4.34 increased to 5.05 or 5.56%), local painting or local spraying (75.42 or 73.89 increased to 80.30 or 78.28%), pruning, worming, together with bacterial or fungal (32.10 Or 29.54 increased to 43.43 or 41.92%), pruning, worming, and local painting or local spraying treatments (86.79 or 85.05 increased to 95.45 or 91.92%).
