Abstract The genus Euphorbia L.(Euphorbiales: Euphorbiaceae) typically have a poisonous white sap in all plant parts. Weedy spurge, Euphorbia boissieriana Prokh., is a toxic deep-rooted herbaceous and perennial weed that is native to the north west of Iran. The biology of spurge clear-wing moth Chamaesphecia schizoceriformis Kolenati as a biocontrol agent of E. boissieriana was studied at field and laboratory conditions (23±2ºC, 60-70% RH, 14L: 10D h) during 2002-2004 in Orumieh region.

Simyra dentinosa freyer (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): A candidate for biological control of leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) in the United States1992 •
In Ethiopia, Euphorbia schimperiana Scheele problem localized to certain highland areas and no any research effort so far made on it. A survey was carried out in 17 highland districts of West Shewa Zone in main rainy season to determine the distribution, infestation level, and biological and socio-economic impact of the weed. It is an important annual broad leaved weed that belongs to the family of Euphorbiaceae, locally called “Annano”. The weed plant shoot count per square meter was collected using an “X” shaped five sampling points on a grazing land at an interval of 5 km along car road. The infestation of the weed varied among the surveyed districts. Ten of the districts were found free of E. schimperiana infestation while the rest districts i.e., Tikur-Inchiny, Chelia, Jibat, Mida-Kegn, Toke-Kutaye, Ambo and Wonchi scored a frequency of 33 to 85% across the districts. On average, greater than 50 weed plants m-2 were recorded in Toke-Kutaye, Jibat and Chela districts. The weed plant grows vigorous reaching more than 50 cm height in Toke-Kutaye, Jibat, Tikur-Inchiny and Wonchi districts. It becomes serious problem in these districts and some other districts like Chelia and Mida-Kegn. Impact assessment also revealed that the weed was seriously affecting animal production and productivity, and human health in the districts especially following seasonally occurring prolonged dry season. Most of the farmers in the surveyed areas have recognized its demerit causing rangeland intrusion, animal death and human irritation. The existing farmers’ sole management option is hand weeding, though it has its own limitations. The weed is toxic up on contact and occur densely creating difficulties up on hand pulling. Therefore, an effort must be putted in place to investigate the weed biology and ecology, and to develop an effective integrated management strategy to avoid the negative impact of the weed in the area.

This paper deals in part with the fauna of natural enemies in corn fields and surrounding grasslands of Semnan. In a total 54 predator and parasitoid species from twelve families including, Asilidae (3), Braconidae (7), Carabidae (7), Chalcididae (2), Chrysopidae (1), Coccinellidae (5), Eulophidae (3), Ichneumonidae (8), Staphylinidae (7), Syrphidae (6), Tachinidae (4) and Trichogrammatidae (1), and four orders (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and Neuroptera) were collected.

Determination of the larval feeding indices of Hyles euphorbiae (Lep.: Sphingidae) on different species of weedy spurges2009 •
The larvae of Hyles euphorbiae (L.) are monophagous and feed on the succulent species of the genus Euphorbia. Obtaining more information on the feeding rate and preferred host plants of the larvae of H. euphorbiae could be useful in biological control programs. In this research, the larval feeding indices of this species ie consumption index (CI), approximate digestibility (AD), efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) were determined on the five most ...
Considering the importance of parasitic wasps in biological control of pests, a faunal study was conducted in the year 2012 on eulophid wasps (Hym.: Chalcidoidea) in rice fields in the east of Guilan province, southern coast of Caspian Sea. Several specimens were captured via Malaise traps. The specimens were identified as Aprostocetus deobensis (Graham), Aprostocetus mycerinus (Walker), Elasmus phthorimaeae Ferrière and Hemiptarsenus sp. Two species, A. deobensis and A. mycerinus are new records for Iran. In addition, association of A. deobensis, A. mycerinus and E. phthorimaeae with rice is new.
Grape berry moth, Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is one of the most important pests in vineyards around the world. Since the extent of its damage and the role of natural enemies have not yet been deeply studied in Iran, we decided to assess the situation of this pest in the Takestan region in Ghazvin Province. In this research, we showed that grape berry moth has three generations in this area and that damage caused in the third generation is more extensive than in either the first or second generation. In addition, we identified one new parasitoid larva (Enytus apostata). To produce healthy grapes, we should apply alternative pest control methods like mating disruption , mass trapping and biological control (e.g. inoculation of Trichogramma cacoeciae).
While testing the efficacy of herbicides on paddy weeds at the Rice Research Institute of Iran (RRII) in 2008, we encountered the failure of arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia L., Alismataceae) seeds to germinate. Detailed investigation revealed physical damage of seeds caused by the larvae of Gynnido-morpha permixtana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Tortricidae, Tortricinae, Cochylina). Further studies showed that larvae feed on the seeds and flowers of the host plant and destroy the achenes. Under laboratory conditions G. permixtana required 23-30 days to complete its life cycle. Arrowhead is a new host record for this moth species; furthermore, this is the first detailed record of a tortricid feeding on this plant.

Plant and animals are complimentary to each others, since the starting of civilization, when a hunter man converted himself into a cultivator he gained vast knowledge about plants and their characteristical varieties. The plant were used by human being for their food, shelter, medicines etc. Since the beginning of Ayurved the Ayurvedic vaidys have choosen the medicinal plants which were used by ancient human being traditionally. In our Vadic literatures the worship of Herbs, Shrubs and Tree have been conducted. Due to rapid deforestation, industrialization and urbanization most of the useful diversity of plants are gradually going towards endangered, some of them have been lost. Such the plants are not important only for medicinal use, but they are also important in the prevention of dangerous insects, pests, fungus and other harmful biotics for crops, vegetables,other stored food materials and animals. The present study is based on the pesticidal effects of Euphorbia neriifolia, Ne...
