| Abstract | ||
| Population dynamics of chrysanthemum fly, Trupanea stellata (F.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) on chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) recutita was carried out in Ibshwai district, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt during 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 seasons. This work showed that both larval and total population had three peaks in the first season, in the second week of Dec., at the end of Jan. and in the second week of Feb. The highest peaks were found by the second week of Feb. Population of the adult stage showed five peaks. The highest was found by the second week of Jan. In the second season the population density was much lower than that in the first season. Larvae and total population had two peaks. Adult flies only had four peaks. The highest peak was in the beginning of April. | ||
