All experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm of Plant Protection Research Station at Qaha, Qalubia Governorate, Egypt, throughout two successive growing seasons (2012 and 2013) on vegetative period. The results clearly indicated the presence of 36 species belonging to 25 families under 10 orders. These insects and mites are as follows:Insect species were clover leaf weevil, Phytonomus brunneipennis Boh.; clover root weevil, Sitona Lividipes Fahraeus; cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Huf.); green bug, Nezara viridula L.; Semillopers, Autographa gamma L.; tomato borer, Tuta absoluta Povolny; milkweed bug, Spilostethus pandurus Scop; white-spotted bug, Eysarcoris ventralis (Westwood); mealybug, Planococcus citri Risso; red bug, Scantius aegyptius (L.); cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.); pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris); cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover; potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas); green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer); cotton jassids, Empoasca lybica (de Berg); cotton thrips. Thrips Tabaci Lind; cotton seed bug, Oxycarenus hyalinipennis Costa; adonis beetle, Hippodamia (Adonia) variegate (Goeze); Ladybird beetles, Coccinella spp. Linnaeus; Flower bug, Orius spp. Say; Aphid lion, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens); mantis, Mantis religiosa L.; Gosmlyce baeticus L.; cabbage worm, Pieris rapae (Linnaeus); spiny bollworm, Earias insulana (Boisduval) and colorful butterfly, Vanessa cardui (Linnaeus).Mite species were the red spider mite, Tetranychus spp.; eriophyid mite (tomato russet mite), Aceria lycopersici (Wolffenstein); broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks); Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, Amblyseius gossypii EL-Badery, Stigmaeus rattus Gomaa and Rakha, Cunaxa spp.; the red spider mite, Tarsonemus spp. and Tydeus spp.The results showed that Aceria lycopersici proved to be the most abundant species followed by Bemisia tabaci and the Tetranychus spp. recorded with occurrence percent 87.15, 4.63 and 4.16% from grand mean total, respectively.Data showed that Solfan, KZ oil and Achook have suppressed effect on the individuals activity of the eriophyid mites, red spider mite and whitefly compared with control.
