Abstract:

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of applying biological control program by using Phytoseiulus persimilis to control Tetranychus urticae, and the response of ´Aya´ runner bean cultivar´s growth, quality and quantity. The gained results showed that the predator controlled the pest after seven weeks of releasing, and the predation efficacy reached 100%. Additionally, using the predator improved the leaf area and the total chlorophyll concentration, compared with it in the prey treatment whereas the leaf area was 11106 cm2, and the total chlorophyll concentration 2.62 mg/g, in the predator treatment while they were 7911cm2, and 1.23 mg/g, in the prey treatment. Also the predator treatment exceeded the prey treatment significantly(p<0.05) regarding fruit set ratio, it was 80% in the predator treatment and 27% in the prey treatment. The unit rate production was multiplied 5 times in the predator treatment compared with the prey treatment. Likewise, the obtained results exhibited the negative impact of T. urticae on the pod's quality, whereas it decreased pod´s components as soluble solids, fibers, dry matter, protein, vitamin C, and increased nitrates content. On the contrary, releasing P. persimilis on the infected plants; improved pod's quality.
