Effect of intercropping of four aromatic plants on the population of three main pests and their associated predators with three bean varieties at Fayoum and Gharbia Governoartes, Egypt

Abstract: The obtained results indicated that the infestation with main sucking pests Tetranychus urticae, onion trips Thrips tabaci and their common association predators was higher in Fayoum Governoarte than Gharbia Governoarte. Also, the data indicated that Poliste cultivar harboured the highest numbers of pests followed by Nebraska cv. and later Bronco cv. in the two governorates. The intercropping with rocket plants harboured generally the highest numbers of all pests compared to the bean cultivars solely (as check), while bean with mint recorded the lowest infestation on the three tested cultivars in both governorates.
