3 -This study aimed to produce product free of acaricides
The aim of study
Methodology 1 -Source of predator:
1 -The predatory mite N. cucumeris was imported from Koppert center of producing natural enemies from Holland
2 -The culture of N. cucumeris was reared in the laboratory on bean plant leaves Phaseoulus vulgaris L. as stuck culture on Thrips tabaci and Tetranychus urticae
3 -Small greenhouses were prepared to release predator and prey ( 6 m x 9 m)
4 -The greenhouse was cultivated with host plant and after two weeks of plantation when the plant grows and became suitable to making infestation with prey (T. urticae)
5 -The predator transmit from the stuck culture to host plant when the level of prey reached about 20-30 individual on leaves
6 -The relation between predator and prey was pursued to supply the prey when exhausted
7 -After four weeks when the rate of predator increased to reach 20 individual per leaflet, the predator was packed in small bags with few prey on bean leaves and transferred inside ice
box to the experimental cucumber field
1 -Half an feddan was planted with cucumber at Toukh district , Qualubia province and was left without pesticides treatment
2 -This area was divided into two treatments including the control
3 -The release was carried out on mid of Feb. 2005 by distributing the leaflet of bean with predator at rate 5 predators / bit .
4 -Samples of 25 leaves were randomly taken from each treatment one just before releasing as pre-count and weekly samples were taken after release
5-Handling lens (10-15X) were used to examined the samples and count the motile stages of N. cucumeris and T. urticae
6-The percent reduction of mite pest was calculated according to the equation of Henderson and Tilton (1955)

1- The present study was conducted to evaluate some plant
extract as alternate materials of Acaricides against Tetranychus
urticae.
2- Study of the side effect of these materials on the predatory
mite Phytoseiulus persimiliss
The aim of study
Source of Tetranychus uricae and Phytoseiulus persimilis The predator and prey were obtained from stock culture maintained in two separated
greenhouses belong of Plant protection research institute at Dokki and reared at 25cº and 65% RH. On kidney bean leaf in lab.
Plant extracts used :- Garlic , Pink flower , black seed Three concentrations ( 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 ml l ml ) were tested . Mortality was recorded after 1, 3, 7
days after application
The experiment design : Five adult individuals from T. urtica and P. persimilis placed on bean leaf discs ( 1.5 cm diameter) in Petri dishes with filter paper and wet cotton wool pad . The predator discs were provided with T. urtica as food and kept in incubator at Temperature and relative humidity mentioned above .
. The toxic effect for the tested materials was evaluated by dipping of leaf discs with the treated organisms in each concentration for five seconds and left to dry (Siegler,1947).
