A master's thesis at the University of Basrah discusses some factors of integrated management of the diamond-back moth on the Hana plant

A master's thesis at the College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah discussed some factors of the integrated management of the diamond-back moth on the Hana plant. The message of the researcher Rabea Turki Abdullah showed the seasonal presence and numerical density of the diamond-back moth on four types of hana. The minimum temperature and thermal units needed for the development of diamond-back moth larvae were determined. The physiological and biochemical characteristics of the four species were also studied, and three bio-pesticides were used, oxymatrine. , and Ontario Cap and Transact The thesis aims to estimate the population density of the diamond-back moth on plants of the cruciferous family. And to evaluate some factors of integrated management to control the insect on the plant Lahana. The thesis concluded that the temperature has an effect on all life aspects of the diamond-back moth, and the temperature of 30 °C is the most suitable for the growth and development of different life roles, and that the resistant varieties of Al-Hana crop that contained high levels of anthocyanins, carotene, phenols, protein content and glucosinolates. The letter recommended the adoption of the system of accumulated thermal units to predict the date of the appearance of the diamond-back moth in Basra Governorate, which was set at a rate of approximately 18.5 thermal units for the purpose of implementing insect control programs. And the cultivation of plant varieties resistant to the infestation of the diamond-back moth. And the search for effective pesticides from different chemical groups to reduce the chance of resistance by the moth against pesticides.
