Abstract

This study was on some medicinal and aromatic plants the medicinal and aromatic plants play in important economic crops and the important role in industries these plants contain chemical compound s used as medicinal comities ,perfume and used in other purposes as spices the medicinal and aromatic plants are considered as economic crops and flavoring for appetizing the medicinal and aromatic plants they play on economic value for local and exterior markets and they on important role used as fresh or dry herbs .
the medicinal and aromatic plants on important role in the Egyptian national in come by exporting to different countries in the world in addition of the local consumption .
Ι. Ecological studies:
Ecological studies were carried out on some aphid species infesting some medicinal and aromatic plants at Qalyubiya and Fayum governorates.
1- Surveying some aphid species infesting some medicinal and aromatic plants and associated predators during 2013/2014 and 2015 seasons:
Nine Aphids species (Hemiptera: Aphididae) were collected from different medicinal and aromatic plants at different localities in Egypt throughout three successive years from 2013 to 2015. These nine aphids were collected from 56 medicinal and aromatic host plants whereas A. gossypii was found on the highest number of host plants (19 plants), followed by M. persicae that was found on 16 host plants. While Acyrosiphon pisum was found on Brassica oleracea (Collard greens) .
2- Ecological studies:
Some ecological studies were carried out throughout two successive seasons; 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 at both Fayoum and Qalyubiya Governorates to determine the population dynamics of some aphid species infest certain medicinal and aromatic plants as well as to evaluate the effect of their associated natural enemies and some of weather factors on changes in their population densities throughout the two successive seasons in the both governorates:-
2-1. population dynamics of some aphids on certain medicinal and aromatic plants:
2-1-1. Aphis gossypii on rosell plants:
During surveying aphids on Rosell plants many aphid species were found. but A. gossypii found to be the dominant species on Rosell plants. So population dynamics of this species were evaluated on Rosell plants throughout two successive seasons; 2013 and 2014.
Results indicated that seasonal mean numbers of population density were higher in Fayoum than Qalyubiya throughout the two successive seasons. Three main peaks of population density were recorded in the both Governorates; during the period from the third week of Jun. to 3rd week of September, 2013 in Fayoum and from 3rd week of Jun. to 1st week of September 2013 in Qalyubiya. Three predators were found to be associated with A. gossypii population density; Coccinella undeciumpunctata, chrysoperla carnea and Syrphus corolla. Parasitism and predation perceatages were 52.1% and 47.9%, respectively in Fayoum, while these percentages were 45.3% and 54.7%, respectively in Qalyubiya in 2014 season; three main peaks of population density were recorded on Fayoum from 3rd week of June to the 3rd week of September, 2014. While in Qalyubiya Governorate two peaks of A. gossypii were recorded from the 3rd week of June to mid-September, 2014. Parasitism and predation percentages were 48.1% and 51.9% in Fayoum and were 49.4% and 50.6%, respectively in Qalyubiya governorate. Seasonal presence of C. undeciumpunctata population density was the heist in compares on with Ch. carnea and S. corolla.
2-1-2. Mayzus persicae
This aphid species found to be the dominant aphid species on two winter medicinal and aromatic plants in both Fayoum and Qalyubiya governorates throughout the two successive seasons, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. These two plants are marigold and chamomile.

2-1-2-1 on marigold plants:
Seasonal abundances of M. persicae was higher in Fayoum than these recorded in Qalyubiya governorate throughout the two seasons.
In the first seasons, four main peaks of population density were recorded in the both governorates, from mid-Dec., 2013 to early-April 2014 in Fayoum, while in Qalyubiya detected from end–Dec., 2013 to mid-April, 2014. Seasonal Parasitism and predation percentages were 47.4% and 52.6%, respectively in Fayoum, while these percentages were 46.6% and 53.4%, in Qalyubiya governorate.
In the second season, four main peaks of population density of M. persicae on marigold plants in Fayoum governorate during the period from late-Dec., 2014 to early-Apr., and 2015. Parasitism and predation percentages were 50.6% and 49.4%, respectively. While in Qalyubiya governorate, five main peaks were detected during the period from late-Dec., 2014 to mid-Apr., and 2015. Parasitism and predation percentages were 51.4% and 48.6%, respectively.
2-1-2-2 on Chamomile:
Seasonal abundances of M. persicae population density was higher in Fayoum than these recorded in Qalyubiya governorate throughout the two seasons.
In the first seasons, population density recorded five main peaks from mid Dec., 2013 to late- Mar., 2014 in Fayoum, while in Qalyubiya four main peaks of M. persicae population density were determined from late-Dec., 2013 to late-Apr., 2014. Parasitism and predation percentages were 52.1% and 47.9%, respectively in Fayoum, while these percentages were 51.2% and 48.8%, in Qalyubiya governorate.
In the second season, four main population density peaks were detected in Fayoum from late-Dec., 2014 to the third week of April,2015 . While in Qalyubiya governorate, five main peaks were detected from late-Dec., 2014 until the third week of April, 2015. Parasitism and predation percentages were 52.6% and 47.4%, respectively.in Fayoum, while these percentages were 51.4% and 48.6%, for Parasitism and predation, respectively. In Qalyubiya governorate.
2-1-3. Brevicoryn brassicae on Fennel plants:
Serveal aphid species were recorded on Fennel plants during this study but Brevicoryn brassicae found to be the dominant one, so population dynamics of this species and their predators were studied to detect active period of their population density.
In the first seasons, three main peaks of population density were detected in Fayoum during the period from mid Dec., 2013 to early- Apr., 2014, while in Qalyubiya four main peaks were determined from late-Nov., 2013 to Mid-Apr., 2014. Parasitism and predation percentages were 49.7% and 50.3% in Fayoum, respectively. While in Qalyubiya these percentages were 52.2% and 47.8%, respectively.
In the second season, four main population density peaks were detected from Mid-Dec., 2014 to Mid- April, 2015 in Fayoum. Also, four peaks were detected in Qalyubiya from Mid-Dec., 2014 till late-Mar., and 2015. Seasonal Parasitism and predation percentages were 43.9% and 56.1% in Fayoum, respectively, while these percentages were 47.4% and 52.6%, for Parasitism and predation, respectively. In Qalyubiya governorate.
3- Effect of three main weather factors on aphids population density.
Effects of three main weather factors; Minimum, Maximum temperatures and Relative humidity on changes of population density of the three aphids; A. gossypii on Rosell, M. persicae on both marigold and chamomile as well as B. brassicae on Fennel plants throughout the two successive seasons 2013/2014 – 2014/2015 in both Fayoum and Qalyubiya governorates were evaluated.
