| Abstract | ||
| The effect of sowing dates (March, 15th, April, 1st and April, 15th) during summer plantation on the infestation level of, Aphis gossypii , Myzus persicae ,whitefly, Bemisia tabaci and spider mite, Tetranycus urticae and the yield of cucumber, Cucumis sativus, during two successive seasons (2014 and 2015) were studied. Data indicate that, the degree of infestation increased significantly by delaying planting date. The number of infestation with Aphids were (8.2, 11.1 and 21.4 individuals/leaf) during 2014 season, (5.5, 9.1 and 22.0 individuals/leaf) during 2015 season for the three sowing dates, respectively. The average weight of cucumber fruit reached the highest (180.0 & 258.7 Kg/date) in the first season and (191.7 & 269.9 Kg/date in the second season for the first sowing date for unprotected and protected, respectively. For the other two sowing dates, the infected levels for the other two pests , B. tabaci and T.urticae as well as the yield of cucumber were occupied the same trend. | ||
