Abstract
Alternative means of control of Macrotoma palmate (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in apricot orchards by horticultural, mechanical, microbiological, 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 13 treatments applied for one and two successive years were as follows: dormant pruning (8.15 increased to 10.39%), summer pruning (0.74 increased to 1.30%), dormant and summer pruning (8.89 increased to 11.69%), worming (26.67 increased to 33.77%), bacterial or fungal (2.96 or 4.44 increased to 3.90 or 5.19%), local painting or local spraying (50.37 or 51.11 increased to 62.34 or 61.04%), pruning, worming, together with bacterial or fungal (34.07 or 32.59 increased to 44.16 or 41.56%), and pruning, worming, and local painting or local spraying (71.85 or 70.37 increased to 77.92 or 7532%) treatments. The integrated control program of ptosima undecimmacu lata, Chlorophorus varius, Macrotoma palmata, and Scolytus amygdall) was successfully achieved by pruning, worming, and could be promoted by local chemical treatments.
