Abstract
Two seasons of field trials were conducted to investigate the efficacy of certain insecticides and bio-insecticides against the greater date moth, Arenipses sabella Hampson (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) at El-Kharga oasis, New Valley, Egypt in 2006/2007and 2007/2008. The high effects against A. sabella among the tested compounds were recorded in case of the treatment of date palm with Proclaim 05 SG (20 g/100 L water) and Deltachem super 2.6 EC (50 ml/100 L water) during the two seasons.
The treatment with Proclaim twice during 1 and 22 November of 2006 reduced the rate of bunches infestation by the pest to 85.48% in the 2007 season.
During 2008 season, application with Deltachem super during 1 and 22 November of 2007 reduced the level of infestation by the greater date moth pest to 75.74%.
