Abstract

In the present work, four insecticides were used against subterranean termites attacking date palm trees in AbuEl-Rich region at Aswan Governorate throughout three successive years 2004- 2007. The obtained results showed that, all effective method of control is by making a ditch 30 cm width X 30cm depth surrounding the tree and 50cm far from the trunk. Each one longitudinal meter required 4 liters of insecticides solution. Four corrugated board traps were used each tree as a bait traps. All replicates of corrugated board traps were infested by the subterranean termite A. desertorum within the date palm trees before treatment with insecticides. Infestation was distributed by subterranean termite A. desertorum,, where it attack most of date palm trees under experiment and ranged from 75-95%. Results revealed that, the use of Dursban Tc at (2% &3%) , Byreban at (2% &3%) and Chlorozan at (2% &3%) at the rate of (4 liters) solution per one longitudinal meter could give economically significant control against subterranean termite A. desertorum attacked the date Palm plantations
