| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of intercropping and potassium fertilization for maize with soybean plants on the population density levels of some piercing sucking insects at Diarb Negm distract Sharkia Governorate Egypt during 2017 and 2018 seasons. The results showed that intercropping system (1:1) and (3:3) maize with soybean decreased Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), Aphis gossypii (Glover), Empoasca decedens (Paoli), Empoasca decipiens (Paoli) , Cicadulina chinai (Ghauri), vibix (Haupt), Sogatella furcifera (Horv.) and whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.). The results indicate that increased of yield in the system (3:3). Data presented clearly that rate of 75 kg of potassium fertilization / fed. gave increased of yield maize with soybean plants and decreased infestation of some piercing sucking insects in both seasons. | ||
