REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Avidov (1970) mentioned that a total of 38 species of parasites and 10species of predator were found in Israel, associated with Aonidilla aurantii , Parlatoria pergandii, Coccus hesperidum, Sassetia olea and Ceroplastis floridensis
Martino (1982) in Italy stated that scale insects infesting citrus cultural were attacked by natural enemies such as Aphytis sp.
Merleir (1984) mentioned that ornamental maples, limes and chestnuts in Reims, France, jointly ifested by Eupulvinaria hydrageae and Pulvinaria regalis canard in the post few years. In observation on natural enemies of the scales, coccinellid larvae were found preying on the eggs and young larvae of P. regalis.Larvae of the dipterous predator Leucopis sp were found in ovisacs of E.hydrogeae.
Salem (1994) found that the activity of the ( Encyrtidae) parasitoid on Kilifia acuminata was scattered during the two studied years. The activity of this parasite on female was higher than immature stage, the lowest activity of (Encyrtidae) parasite was observed during mid July, August and during December.
Ofek et al (1997) in Israel stated that there were several identified natural enemies for Aonidiella orientalis and Aonidiella ourantii among them Aphytis linganesis was detected.
Kwais (1998) mentioned that the scale insect, Insulaspis pallidula was found with its parasite Aphytis lepidosaphes on zebda and dabsha varieties during May July and August in Faiym governorate. On the other hand Lindingaspis floridana and Aulacaspis tubercularis are found without parasite. In addition parlatoria olea was found parasitized by [ Aphytis moculicornis and Aphytis lingnansis ] in high and low infestation on zebda and hindy v...

...as well as the effect of two weather factors on the insect activity were studied at El-Qanater El-kairia, Qaliobiya governorate, Egypt in 2001 / 02 and 2002 / 03. Results revealed that pre-adult and adult populations were peaked four times per year during May, July, September / October and November. The pest had annual overlapping generations, with the highest generating occurring during autumn in both studied years. The daily mean temperature was entirely under the optimum range of pre-adult and adult activities in the two years, whereas the daily mean relative humidity was within the optimum range of the pre-adult and adult activities in 2001 / 02 and entirely under the optimum range of the pre-adult and adult activities in 2002 / 03. The combined effect of the two weather factors on the pre-adult and adult activities was highly significant in both years.
This article talks about Eurosta solidaginis which is the goldenrod gall fly and its interactions with its natural enemies. The natural enemies that are discussed in this article are Eurytoma gigantea and the E. obtusiventris which are both different types of parasitoid wasps, Mordellistena unicolor which is a beetle and two predatory birds the Dendrocopus pubescens which is the downy woodpecker and Parus atricapillus the black-capped chickadee (Abrahamson, 1989). These natural enemies eat the larvae of the goldenrod gall fly while in the gall. The galls are found on tall goldenrod plants. The goldenrod fly induce ball-shaped galls on the stems of
We have cumulated a profit of $206 million over this period, second of the industry. Our goal of escalating profit has advised us to increase automation level and for cutting costs, which enabled us to have the margins of all products above 30% in 2019 and an average margin of 53.4% in 2024. Additionally, we invested to keep our products updated to the market trend with an attention to customer buying criteria. Moreover, starting from recent years, we run our full capacity with second shifts whenever the market need has a possibility to accommodate our production. To achieve a greater profit, we based our pricing strategy on the market movements in general by decreasing our price by $0.50 every year except for our Low End product-Acre.
This paper will cover a description of Hydnum repandum, its ecology, and some research involving the species.

Heartworms are a parasitic nematode of mammals and have first been observed in Italy in 1626 (3). Later the parasite was introduced to the Americas by European immigrants leading to the earliest recorded heartworm finding in the United States in 1847 published in The Western Journal of Medicine and Surgery (3,5). In 1995 the intracellular Gram-negative bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia, belonging to the order Rickettsiales, was identified to reside in the heartworms tissue (4).Today heartworm infections have been reported in all states except Alaska and the number of incidents are increasing at an alarming rate (5).

Undoubtedly there are multiple areas where developing a picnic island can politically be influenced. As Maldives is a democratic country, terms of election are held every 5 yearly. With change in government terms, its policies and funding bodies will be changed. We should be concerned about how the newly elected legislators are going to support this concept of a picnic island. To successfully nail the idea we would probably need a lot of funding, initiatives and grants from the government and other supporting bodies to make it as successful as possible. Also, Maldives now being quite a famous tourism landmark throughout the world, a lot of industrial parties are interested in developing other sorts of tourist

Most of the species from habitat one are Diptera. There was a total of thirteen Diptera’s in habitat one. Cup one had the least amount of individual species with four. Habitat two had more individual species than habitat one. There was a total of seventy-nine species from habitat two. Like in habitat one most of of the arthropods from habitat two were Diptera. The was a total of eighteen Diptera’s in habitat two. Cup six had most of the Diptera’s with thirteen. Orthoptera was second in the number of individuals with sixteen. Orthoporea’s are crickets and
