  The Mediterranean fruit fly is a quarantine pest which was seen in Fars province, Iran in 2008. Pomegranate is one of the hosts of this pest in the late season, Two different methods, including trapping and bait spraying, were used in order to evaluate populalim suppression in shiraz in 2011 and 2012. Through trapping method, three attractants includeing Trimedlure, Biolure, Femilure, were investigated separately in a Tephri traps with three replications, in this way, the average number of infected fruits (with control) and also the number of trapped Mediterranean fruit flies (without control) were bait spraying method,Two types of hydrolyzed proteinin and smell bal were used the south side of the trees, In bouiting method, two types of hydrolyzed protein, Bioceboand Smelltol were sprayed mixed with 0.002 concewtratin of malathion on trunks and one meter width of south part of the tree crown Trimedlure and biolure had the same effect on number of infected fruits, but more effective than the control and Femilure. Howerer, the number offlies couptured was higher in Bcolure. In baiting method, no significant difference was observed among the treatments , howeres the place on the trees was significantly different .Number of infected fruits was less in one meter width spraying on the crown.

  The plum bud gall mite, Acalitus phloeocoptes (Nalepa, 1890) (Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) is one of the new and destructive pests on plum trees of West Azerbaijan province. In this study, with the aim of assessing the phenology of the hibernating mites’ emergence in the plum orchards, Shablon cultivar, the mites were trapped with the sticky bands and counted every seven days. At the same time, the phenology of the plum trees was considered and photographed. Also, the effects of five useful pesticides including Propargite 57% (Omite® EC), Abamectin 1.8% (Vertimec® EC), Fenpyroximate 5% (Ortus® SC), Diflovidazin 20% (Flumite® SC), and Sulfur 80% (Sulfur® WP) were evaluated against population dynamics of this pest in the plum orchards of Miandoab region. These chemicals were sprayed on the aerial parts of the trees at the recommended rate and the live mites were captured using the sticky bands. The phenological results showed that most individuals emerged on 4th May, during the falling petals. In addition, the sampling after seven and fourteen days post-spraying illustrated that all of the pesticides had a significant effect on the mite (P<0.01). Thus, all of the five chemicals could be useful for control of the bud gall mite in the condition of the Miandoab region. Also, additional studies are necessary for the management of this pest during longer intervals in different climatic conditions. Manuscript profile
