“…Many phytophagous pests including cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, aphids, Aphis gossypii & Myzus persicae, leafhopper, Empoasca decipiens and two-spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae were infested Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops (Abd El-Wahab et al, 2012 andAl-Habshy et al, 2013). A large scale of these sucking pests attack numerous Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae species such as watermelon (Abou El-Saad, 2015) cucumber (Ibrahim, 2017), ash-gourd (Khan et al, 1999), squash (Abdallah et al, 2012), cantaloupe (Younes et al, 2010) snakecucumber (Mondal et al, 2020) pepper (Havanoor and Rafee, 2018) and eggplant (Helmi and Rashwan, 2015). In addition to the direct infestation of piercing-sucking insects, which causes the transmission of viral disease to these plant families, as well as the secretion of honeydew, which leads to the growth of black mold, also, causing photosynthesis stop (Ghosh et al, 2019 andKazak et al, 2015).…”

Insects and plants have been living and relationship together for more million years. Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae families were esteemed as important vegetable production in Egypt and were infested by numerous piercing-sucking pests. Recently, climatic changes led to changes in the distribution of these pests. Therefore, the diversity of Bemisia tabaci, Aphis gossypii & Myzus persicae, Empoasca decipiens and Tetranychus urticae on Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae crops was studied during two summer seasons of 2022 and 2023 years. The obtained results show a susceptible and low resistance of whitefly and spider mite infestations, while, susceptible, moderate and low resistance were recorded with aphid and leafhopper infestations of tested hosts. Data emphasized that B. tabaci and T. urticae were the more dominant species infesting all plants. The tested piercing-sucking pests were recorded 1-3 peaks, concentrating through April-May during the two tested seasons. Data showed that the increasing of B. tabaci and T. urticae populations led to a decrease in GA3, IAA and KIN contents, and an increase in ABA contents, contrariwise, the reverse direction was found with aphids and E. decipiens populations. Moreover, a negative relationship was recorded between phenoloxidase and all tested pests except whitefly was detected a positive effect. A positive relation was reported between phytochemical components and these pests except spider mite was negative. Finally, these results offer useful and appealingly data to point out herein that the infestation rate of piercing-sucking insects must refer to the resistance degree of each cultivar to help in putting the IPM management strategy in the control programs of these pests.

“…Pests such as mites, aphids, whiteflies, bugs, leafhoppers, mealybugs, and thrips are phloem feeders of numerous sucking pests that target a wide range of crops. They can inflict significant damage to plants, either directly by sucking plant sap or indirectly by serving as a vector for disease transmission [3][4][5]. The infestation of cucumber plants by different insect pests, especially Dacus ciliatus might reach 100% and reduce production [6].…”

The study was conducted to determine the susceptibility of different cucumber hybrid varieties (Jumbo Green, Ghazeer, Nefer, and Sahem) to sucking insect pests, onion thrips Thrips tabaci Lind., and tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci Genn., during the summer of 2018 season in the experimental fields of College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, Iraq. The results showed that the infestation of cucumber varieties with sucking pests onion thrips T. tabaci and tobacco whitefly B. tabaci occurred on all varieties during the entire month of July. Nefer and Sahem varieties were more susceptible to high infestation by the whitefly adult, where the average was 5.21 and 5.05 adults per leaf, respectively, compared with the Ghazeer and Jumbo Green varieties, where the average was 4.06 and 4.02 adults per leaf, respectively. At the same time, the nymph average of whitefly was 55.80 and 55.20 nymphs per leaf on Ghazeer and Jumbo Green, respectively, followed by Sahem and Nefer varieties, which were 47.80 and 38.10, respectively. The average of thrips nymphs was recorded on all varieties, which were 4.52, 3.57, 3.06, and 2.96 nymphs per leaf on Sahem, Nefer, Ghazeer, and Jumbo Green, respectively. During July and early August, the green lacewing Chrysoperla sp., parasitoids Ahidius sp., and coccinellids like ladybird Coccinella sp. were found to be linked with whitefly and thrips pests on all varieties.
