Abstract
Aphids are the major insect pests attacking wheat plants in Egypt. The study was carried out in different agro-ecosystems (Upper-, Middle Egypt and Delta) which represent the wheat production regions in the country. The study aimed to maintain cereal aphids population under the economic threshold level based on:
1) Evaluation of the role of native natural enemies, mainly the parasitoids.
2) Selection of resistant and/or tolerant wheat cultivars to aphids' infestation.
3) Determination of economic threshold and injury levels.
4) Evaluation of the efficacy of some exotic parasitoid species under laboratory, field cages and open fields.
5) Evaluation of the effect of some cultural practices such as variety, planting date and fertilization rates on infestation levels.
6) Monitoring immigration rates into the wheat fields using sticky traps.
7) Field application of all positive results to come out with recommendations could be transferred to the farmers, achieve reduction of using pesticides in wheat fields.
