  Four experiments were conducted at Embaba, Giza Governorate by planting beans four times during 2011, 2012 and 2013 to assess the annual variation in population of Melanagromyza phaseoli attacking bean plants Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) in relation to certain climatic factors, synchronization of plant age with insect counts, generation numbers, and injury on plants. Obtained results cleared that adults and larvae of this fly attack plants as soon as seedlings emergence in all growing seasons. In spring 2011, adult females reached highest counts 1.17, 1.17 and 1.1 individual/ sweep at 12th April, 10th May and 7th June, respectively. Their larvae reached highest 2.2 and 15.33 larvae/leaf at 26th April and 31st May. The highest tunnels number during season was 26.87 tunnel/leaf. In summer 2011, larvae reached highest counts 1.4, 29 and 2.3 larvae/leaf at 5th July.. View More»
