Abstract

Located 72 km. South-East of Tehran,Abardeg Sand Stabilization Station have dry hot summer and moderately cold winter. Average annual precipitation is 174 mm. (nine year average) and temp. around 16.5C. so far more than 2000,000 hectares of sand covered lands, have been rehabilitated. Haloxylon ammodendron (C.A.Mey) Bge. is one of the main species successfully used in sand dune stabilization programmes throughout the country. The objective of this study was to examine the composition and structure of the PESTS at different phenological phases of SAXAUL plants. Eight phenological stages have been recognized over the entire growing season which begins with emerging out from winter dormancy followed by flower buds appearance; full flowering; flowering end; fruit setting; seed ripening; duration of seeds on the plants; defoliation period and winter dormancy initation. Each phases have carefully investigated and the emerging time as well as the abundance of different pest species associated with SAXAUL plants monitored and the data recorded in specially-designed tables. In the begining phase which occur as mid-Feb. to early April, SAXAUL plants are subject to attack by a gall-producing flies of Cecidomyiidae family as well as two species of gall mites of Eriophyidae and Tenuipalpidae families and also SAXAUL thrips (Haplothrips kermanensis Zur. Str.). Following stages which include emergence of buds and flowers as well as full flowering to fruit setting which constitute the critical periods of plant life and occur as early April to late September, compries activity of such PESTS as aphid (Xerophilaphis SAXAULica Nev.), Haplothrips kermanensis Zur. Str. Caillardia inedita Log., Julodis beetle (Julodis iris var. euphratica Cast.et.Gorg.); SAXAUL weevil (Chromosomus fischeri Fah.) SAXAUL grasshopper (Dericorys albidula Serv.) ; white scale (Acanthoccua abaii Danzig.) and three of mouse species (Meriones libycus Lich., M.persicus Blanford. And Allactaga elater Lich.). And finally, fruit setting and seed ripening periods occur as late September through mid-Nowember, during which Haloxylon plants is subject to damage by Proceratia casariella Rosler., which is a serious pest feeding on seeds. In general, based on gathered data, haloxylon plants are now subject to attack and damage by twenty-five distinct pest species of twelve orders and nineteen families Through conducting biological studies on the key PESTS as well as observations phenological host plant, we will be able to prevent PESTS outbreak or take appropriate steps towards pest control.
