Laboratory Evaluation of some Insecticides against Larval and Adult Stages of Red Palm Weevil’s Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)
The toxicity of eight compounds belong to different groups of insecticides; chlorpyrifos-ethyl and dimethoate (organophosphate); methomyl (carbamate); imidacloprid (neonicotinoid); emamectin benzoate (avermectin); azadirachtin (tetranortriterpenoid), deltamethrin (pyrethroid) and fipronil (phenylpyrazole). was evaluated in the laboratory against larvae and adults of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier), by using dipping food technique. The results showed that imidacloprid was the most toxic insecticide among the tested compounds against the larvae, followed by emamectin benzoate, deltamethrin and fipronil, whereas the LC50s were 63.6, 136.6, 290.2 and 773.78 ppm, respectively. The organophosphate insecticides, chlorpyrifos-ethyl and dimethoate were the less toxic compounds (LC50s were 2597 and 8466 ppm), against larvae. However, deltamethrin was the most toxic insecticids against the adult followed by emamectin benzoate and imidacloprid, whereas the LC50s were 129.8, 136.6 and 287.3 ppm, respectively. The organophosphate insecticides, chlorpyrifos-ethyl and dimethoate, were still the less active compounds (LC50s were 790.4 and 11085 ppm) against the adults of R ferrugineus. The results revealed that the adults were more sensitive to most of the tested insecticides compared with larvae except for imidacloprid and dimethoate. Moreover, by increasing time of exposure the toxicity of imidacloprid to both larvae and adults increased.

Biomarkers of Freshwater Algae Lemna minor as a Model for Urban Pollution with Pesticides and Heavy Metals
Biochemical changes in collected algal cells of Lemna minor were examined as biomarkers for pesticides and heavy metals pollution for different sites of an urban district. Four contaminated sites were chosen for the biomonitoring programs, while another site (rural zone) was considered as a reference to compare the risk factors. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) reached the lowest values in winter season to account for 3.22, 6.75, 5.43 and 2.35 U. L-1 in Potato International Center (PIC)(S1), El-Nasaria (S2), Kafr Hashaad (S3) and Bounfer (S4), respectively. Multiresidue of pesticides and potential toxic metals were examined in linear regression analysis with some biochemical components in algal cells. During the same season, the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) showed decrease only in S3 and S4, but recorded the highest value (10.00 U. L-1) in S2. Carbohydrates and total protein levels were significantly decreased in all sites compared with reference. The algal pigments reached the lowest values in S1 to account for 4.76, 1.83, and 1.97 mg. L-1 for chlorophyll a, b and carotenoides, respectively. Therefore, this study showed the importance of freshwater algae in biomonitoring programs especially for the urban regions.

Crop Yield and Nitrogen Bioavailability Mediated by Nitrogen Fertilization in Maize/Soybean Intercropping System with and without Rhizobium Inoculation
Two plots experiments were conducted at the Soil Salinity and Alkalinity Laboratory at Alexandria, Egypt, to study the beneficial effects of nitrogen supply from soybean intercropped with maize on available nitrogen in soil, nitrogen uptake, and yield of maize. The results indicated that the highest grain yield of maize (5581 kg.ha-1) was achieved in maize+soybean intercropping under the entired recommended rate (RR) of mineral nitrogen application (120 units of N as urea), and the lowest (2280 kg.ha-1) was achieved in maize+soybean intercropping in absence of mineral nitrogen application. Application of rhizobium to maize+soybean intercropping system significantly increased maize grain and above-ground biomass yields. On average of two years, maize grain of maize+soybean intercropping overyielded the sole maize by 58% (ranging from 0.9% to 99.96%). Total land equivalent ratio (TLER), averaged over N levels, was 2.30 in maize+soybean, and 2.67 in soybean + maize intercropping with rhizobium over the 2 years of the study. The combination of mineral and rhizobium in maize+soybean intercropping system showed the highest values of N concentrations in plant tissues compared with mineral or rhizobium plots individually. Also, there were significant positive relationships between N uptake and maize grain yield in the first season [r= 0.99, 0.99, 0.90, 0.90, and 0.86 for maize, soybean, maize + soybean intercropping, soybean + rhizobium, and maize + soybean + rhizobium, respectively]. Although, the intercropped maize and soybean plus rhizobium at 50% of RR of N fertilizer was not yielded the highest corn grain, it is recommended that to be the best economic treatment.

Effectiveness of some Insecticides for Eggplant Sucking-Piercing Insects Management with Reference to Their Side Effects on Natural Enemies
Two field experiments were conducted during 2012 and 2013 seasons at Nubarya district, to evaluate one synthetic insecticide, four insecticide alternatives and their binary mixtures against some eggplant sucking insects. The side effect of these insecticide treatments against two predatory insects was also investigated. Results showed that, Admire, Admire-Achook mixture, and Admire-Applaud mixture achieved the highest reduction percentages of whitefly, where mean reduction percentages were 93.4, 91.7 and 93.3% at 2012 and 94.3, 95.1 and 94.1% at 2013, respectively. In the case of aphids, in 2012 and 2013 seasons, the highest reduction percentages were achieved by Admire (98.6 and 98.2%), Kemesol (95.2 and 94.9%), Admire-Kemesol mixture (98.9 and 99.4%), Admire-Achook mixture (98.6 and 99.1%) and Admire-Applaud mixture (96.9 and 95.8%). Concerning jassid, it was recorded that Admire and Admire-Achook mixture treatments achieved the highest reduction followed by Admire-Kemesol mixture. In both seasons, Admire has the highest negative effect on the lady beetle, Coccinella sp < /em>. and aphid lion, Chrysopa spp < /em>. Admire reduced lady beetle by 59.8 and 57.7% in 2012 and 2013, respectively and reduced aphid lion by 25.5 and 22.6% in 2012 and 2013, respectively. On the other hand, Breef oil has the least side effects on the two predators in both seasons. Finally we can conclude that, Admire-Achook mixture can be used for sucking-piercing insects management on eggplant, where this mixture achieved the highest reduction percentages against the insect pests and relative low ones against natural enemies.

Influence of Board Density and Wood/Cement Ratio on the Properties of Wood-Cement Composite Panels Made from Date Palm Fronds and Tree Prunings of Buttonwood
As part of a large project funded by National Plane for Science and Technology (NPST), the midribs of date palm trees (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and tree prunings of buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus L.) were used to manufacture wood-cement panels (WCPs) of high-quality from lignocellulosic materials available in Saudi Arabia. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of board density and wood/cement ratio (WCR) on the properties of the produced WCPs. Such WCPs were produced under specific manufacturing variables, including targeted board density (1100, 1200 and 1300 kg.m-3) and WCR (1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 by weight). The mechanical properties and dimensional stability of the final panels were determined. The results indicated that the WCPs could be made from the two species after pre-treating the particles with an aqueous treatment and adding either calcium or magnesium chloride as an accelerator. Both the board density and WCP had significant effects on the properties of the WCPs from each species. The mechanical and dimensional properties of the WCPs increased as the board density increased from 1100 to 1300 kg.m-3. It has been found that all the mechanical properties of the WCPs were directly related to the board density. The results revealed that as the WCR increased from 1/2 to 1/4, the dimensional stabilities and mechanical properties of the WCPs, except for the modulus of rupture, increased. The properties of the produced panels were improved by increasing the WCR. For WCP industry production, the choice of proper wood species, board density and WCR should be made based on the end uses of the panels.

Determinated Factors for Performing The Educational and Extensional Role of Agricultural Research Center with Small Farm Operators
This study aims to: determine the performance of the respondents regarding the research, the extension agents and the peasants, exploring the factors that determinate this dependent variable, and as well as identify the current and the expected role of the center of agricultural research, seeking opportunities for enhancing this role. Data were collected by using personal interview pre-tested questionnaire during April 2013, Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, also multiple correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze data statistically, in addition to frequencies and percentages.
The main results of this study revealed that:
1- Almost half of the respondents %44, 83 were come in low category concerning the performance level of their role. There were four independent variables significantly affected the respondents performance level and explained together (%43,6) from its variation which were ranged decreasingly: "number of conducted researches,"" the contribution of the research in problem solving,""offering activities to the peasants,"" the degree of performing the current activities of the center."
2- From half to two third of the respondents tend to focus on three activities as their extensional and educational role,: " conducting applied research in relation to local problems, 66.67%"," getting in to applied settings and offer advice through short visits,52.87 %", "Producing and distributing pertinent audio visuals and extension like materials, 51.72 %. All of other activities constituting the center of agricultural research extension role were viewed by more than half to three quarter of the respondents either as being performed unsatisfactorily or not being performed at all.
3- There is a general tendency to rate all activities higher in terms of their importance. Those rated considerably higher by respondents include "Getting into applied settings and offer advice through short visits" 98.85%," "Cooperating with concerned groups and organizations in designing rural development programs" 97. 70%".
4- The results suggest that the researchers feel the need to strengthen the extension role of the center of agricultural research through training peasants and their trainers in sustainable agriculture, cultivating Timber Trees, more emphasis on practical aspects and field visits and Representing agricultural extension, research and training in one unit on village level as a mechanism of institutional attachment and integrated behavior.
