The common pistachio psylla Agonoscena pistaciae is a key pest of pistachio in Iran. A study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of psylla nymphs and eggs in a 10 ha pistachio orchard in the Rafsanjan region, southeast of Iran. Three rows, each containing 33 trees (totally 99 trees), were randomly selected in the orchard based on a stratified sampling scheme. In each of the sele...

The pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is a major pest of pistachio trees, Pistacia vera L. (Sapindalis: Anacardiaceae) throughout pistachio-producing regions in Iran. Different density levels of A. pistaciae nymphs were maintained on pistachio trees by different insecticide dosages to evaluate the relationship between nymph density and yield l...

The common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), is a key pest in pistachio orchards in Iran. Chemical control is a common method to manage this pest. Compatibility between natural enemies and pesticides is a primary concern in programs of integrated pest management of the psyllid pest. In this research, susceptibility of fifth instar nymphs of A...

common pistachio psylla, agonoscena pistaciae burckardt and lauterer (hemiptera: aphalaridae) is one of the economical pest among the pistachio orchards. the adonis' ladybird, hippodamia variegata (goeze) (col: coccinellidae) is one of the most prominent coccinellid predator in pistachio orchards. it is omnivorous and feed on aphids and psylla. functional response studies using a suitable ...

hippodamia variegata (goeze) (coleoptera: coccinellidae) is one of the most prominent coccinellid predator of common pistachio psylla, in pistachio orchards. the experiment was performed under laboratory conditions i.e. 27±1oc 55±5 rh and 16:8 l: d. a cohort with about one hundred eggs- less than 24h old- was chosen and put in petri dishes. ladybeetle larvae were daily fed with pistachio psylla...

Some oxime ether derivatives of α-ionone (4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-one) have been synthesized. Reaction of 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-ketoxime with various chloro and fluoro aromatic and hetero aromatic compounds gave the corresponding oxime ether derivatives via aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr). The structures of these co...

The common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt and Lauterer (Hem.: Aphalaridae), is one of the most important pests of pistachio orchards in Iran. Green lacewing, Chrysoperlacarnea, as a general predator found abundantly in Iranian pistachio gardens, loses its performance under the impression of pesticides spraying. Nowadays, considering environmental pollutions,...

pistachio psylla, agonoscena pistaciae burckhardt & lauterer, is a key pest of pistachio trees in the pistachio-producing regions throughout iran. the investigation of biology of pests under the field condition in each region is the first step that must be taken in developing an integrated pest management program. the seasonal fluctuations of eggs, nymphs and adults of pistachio psylla were inv...

the effect of two insecticides, imidacloprid and pyriproxyfen, were investigated on some biological parameters of ladybird beetle menochilus sexmaculatus (f.) (coleoptera: coccinellidae) under laboratory condition. theladybird beetle were exposed to insecticides by ingestion of the common pistachio psylla, agonoscena pistaciae burckhardt and lauterer (hemiptera: psyllidae) (prey). for imidaclop...
