The journal of Toxicology and pest control is one of the series issued twice by the Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences, and is devoted to publication of original papers related to the interaction between insects and their environment. The goal of the journal is to advance the scientific understanding of mechanisms of toxicity. Emphasis will be placed on toxic effects observed at relevant exposures, which have direct impact on safety evaluation and risk assessment. The journal therefore welcomes papers on biology ranging from molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology to ecology and environment, also systematics, microbiology, toxicology, hydrobiology, radiobiology and biotechnology. www.eajbs.eg.net Provided for non-commercial research and education use.

The study aimed to investigate IPM techniques which would reduce potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella ( Zeller ) (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae ) , population in potato fields . Three IPM techniques , potato planting date, sex pheromone-baited water traps and the bioinsecticides were tested. Results indicated that early planting of potato summer plantation in January, significantly reduce the population of Ph . operculella larvae from four tested planting times . Sex pheromone -baited water traps. were effective as a means of detecting and monitoring the occurrence of adults of Ph . operculella in both seasons of 2004 and 2005 . Moreover potato plants in fields containing traps were statistically less infested with Ph. operculella than plants in field without traps by % reduction amounted 21.7 % in winter plantation and 27.1 % in summer plantation . The correlation between catches of potato tuber moth males and each of max and min temperature in winter plantation were significant .Spraying of potato plants with bioinsecticides significantly reduced number of PTM larvae . Spinosad ( Tracer 24% SC ) was the most effective insecticide followed by botanical insecticides Azadirachtin (Achock 15% EC ) and Soybean oil ( Naturals 96% EC ). Thus early planting of potato summer plantation in January , Sex pheromone -baited water traps and bioinsecticides may be a promising components of IPM strategies for reducing Ph. operculella population in potato fields .

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
