        The effect of three botanical insecticides (sirinol, palizin and tondexir) and one chemical insecticide (imidacloprid) on Trialeurodes vaporariorum has been investigated in laborarory and greenhouse conditions.The four insecticides were used with different doses of 0.5, 0.9, 1.8 and 3 ml/lit respectively. The leaf-dip assay for nymph and glass tube assay for adult were used. Also the effect of these insecticide on tomato plants in green house was studied. There were significant differences among used insecticides and interaction between doses and insecticides on all nymphal stages and adults of the greenhouse whitefly (GW). The mortality rate increases with increasing doses and decreases with increasing nymphal age. There were not significant differences among different doses of Imidicloprid  and Tondexir (3 ml/l) on the first, second and third instar nymph of GW in leaf-dip assay. The imidicloprid (3 ml/l) had the highest mortality on fourth instar nymph of GW and was categorized in separate group. Also in pot experiment the highest mortality in all of nymphal instars was for Imidicloprid 3 ml/l, however the tondexir 3ml/l had similar affect on second instar nymph. The highest mortality in adults (with no significant differences) occurred using Imidicloprid was obtained with Imidicloprid (3 ml/l), Tondexir (3 ml/l), Palizin (3 ml/l), Imidicloprid (1.8 ml/l) and Sirinol (3 ml/l) with 98.03, 96.07, 96.07, 96.07 and 94.11 % mortality respectively.

        One of the common methods for controlling of greenhouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum in tomato greenhouses is use of chemical and botanical insecticides. To evaluate the effects of these insecticides on adult female of predatory bug Macrolophus caliginosus these research  was carried out using botanical insecticides (Sirinol, Palizin and Tondexir) and chemical insecticide (Imidacloprid) in 0, 0.5, 0.9, 1/8 and 3 ml/l in three methods; glassy tubes in laboratory, pot and greenhouse experiments on tomato plant. There were significant differences between treatments, doses and interaction of doses and treatments. The mortality was increased with increasing the doses. 48 hours after  spraying, highest and the least mortality was caused by Imidichloprid (3 ml/l.) with 100% and Palizin (0.5 ml/l.) with 23.8 % mortality, respectively. In pot method, the highest mortality of predatory bug was caused by Imidichloprid (3, 1.8 ml/l.) with 97.23 and 94.34%, and the least mortality was caused by Palizin (0.5 and 0.9 ml/l.) with 20.17 and 21.14 %. Imidichloprid (3, 1.8 ml/l.) had the highest mortality with 94.46 and 92.66 % and Palizin (0.5 and 0.9 ml/l.) had the least mortality with 17.5 and 18 % on predatory bugs in greenhouse condition. In all three methods, there were significant difference between Imidichloprid (all doses) and the other botanical insecticides. These results show that the botanical insecticides could be used as natural products in IPM programs to protect the natural enemies. Manuscript profile

        3 - Effect of nettle extract on black bean aphid (Aphis fabae (Scopoli)), wheat aphid (Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)) and cowpea aphid (Aphis craccivora (Koch)) in comparison with soap compounds

        Aphids are among the most important economic pests and vectors of many plant pathogens in horticultural, agricultural and greenhouse crops in world. In this study, the effect of ethanolic extract of nettle Urtica dioica L. (Rosales: Urticaceae), Palizin® soap and Fi More
        Aphids are among the most important economic pests and vectors of many plant pathogens in horticultural, agricultural and greenhouse crops in world. In this study, the effect of ethanolic extract of nettle Urtica dioica L. (Rosales: Urticaceae), Palizin® soap and Firooz® baby shampoo on three species of aphids (black alfalfa aphid, Aphis fabae (Scopoli), wheat poison aphid, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), and cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora (Koch)) were examined. Several experiments included evaluation of the birth percentage of adult insects, total mortality and mortality of 5-6- and 1-2-day-old nymphs and also adult insects treated with the above compounds. Hosts of these pests in all steps of this study were included wheat plants for poisonous wheat aphids, alfalfa for black alfalfa aphids and beans for black bean aphids. The results of this study showed that ethanolic extract of nettle has a significant effect on pest mortality. The result showed the ethanolic extract of nettle has a significant effect with the means ± SE percentage of mortality (90.50±3.76) and (87.78±3.92) in wheat poison aphid, (74.00±9.30) and (79.00±5.76) in black alfalfa aphid and (62.00±9.20) and (64.50±4.56) in cowpea aphid on 1-2-and 5-6- day-old nymphs, respectively, in comparing to control. So, according to the results, ethanolic extract of nettle has a significant effect on the control of these pests and it can have capacities that suggest conducting further studies in the management of Aphids.   Manuscript profile

        To alleviate insect pest problems in storage, synthetic pesticides are recommended, but their use may create toxicity to non-target organisms, development of resistance and residues in treated products. Under such circumstances the need for research to find a safe, convenient, durable and economically logical method is necessary. The application of repellents could be considered as a new control method in storage. In this study the repellency effect of Coconut soap (Palizin®) was assayed on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) and Lasioderma serricorne (F.). Adults and larvae of T. castaneum and L. serricorne exposed to 0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10% concentration of Coconut soap (Palizin®)  (botanical compound) using three techniques such as: filter papers, Y- shape Busvine tube and leaky glass bioassays. In each of three methods, the maximum repellency effect of Coconut soap (Palizin®)  was in concentration of 10%, and, the quantities were equal to 78.87, 74.27 and 56.93% for adults of T. castaneum and 72.70%, 85.86% and 45.60% for L. serricorne in Petri-dish, Y- shape Busvine tube and leaky glass techniques respectively.

        Gerbera is attacked by a large number of pests, one of the most important of which is greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood). Currently, it is controlled by chemical and large amounts of money are used to import insecticides to control this pest annually. In current research, the effect of Palizin and Imidacloprid in T. vaporariorum control in commercial gerbera greenhouses was compared. The experiment was performed in a commercial greenhouse in Pakdasht, Tehran. The same size and none flower gerbera pots were selected for further analysis. Before and after the experiment, the number of nymphs and adults were estimated. Selected factors were included: the pesticide in two levels, pesticide dose in three levels (0.5, 1 and 1.5), application time in three levels (hours 8, 12 and 16) and replications in a month in three levels (2, 4 and 6). Data was analyzed using Design Expert 10 software with RSM (Response Surface Method) method. Based on the result, the mortality percentage of whitefly adults during the use of Confidor is significantly higher than Palizin. Also the only significant factor was the pesticide type, and other factors will not make any significant changes in the response. Manuscript profile
