Abstract
Current study was carried out to study recent and untraditional methods
for pest control operations far away chemical insecticides and its bad side
effects on human and environment. These methods include treating the plants
with special concentrations of some plant hormones before and after planting
with a note and record effectiveness of these hormones on the physiological characteristics
of successive insect. So, current study aim to study effectiveness of three
plant hormones; Cytokinin (CKs), Gibberellin (GAs) and Auxin (IAA) on the
controlling operation of the serious pest Greenhouse Whitefly, Trialeurodes
vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) infesting strawberry
plants Fragaria ananassa (L.). through treatment strawberry seedlings by
these hormones before and after planting. Results obtained show that when
treatment strawberry plants by cytokinin hormone (CKs) led to decrease mean
population number of the successive insect T. vaporariorum more than
when treatment these plants by gibberellin hormone (GAs) and auxin hormone
(IAA) respectively. Results obtained also show that cytokinin hormone (CKs) was
higher effectiveness on the physiological adjectives were examined of the
successive insect T. vaporariorum more than both gibberellin hormone
(GAs) and auxin hormone (IAA) respectively. These physiological adjectives were
tested stimulated in concentration of two important genes (sucrase gene and
alpha glucosidase gene AGLU) and two important hormones (juvenile hormone and
molting hormone) which secreted inside the successive insect T. vaporariorum.
Whereas results obtained indicated to that effectiveness of cytokinin hormone
(CKs) was higher than both gibberellin hormone (GAs) and auxin hormone (IAA)
respectively on decreasing concentration of these important genes and hormones
which secreted inside the successive insect T. vaporariorum
