الملخص الانجليزي
Certain effects of different spectral light colors were studied on some
biological attributes of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae. Rearing of
animals was carried out under conditions of 27±0.5°C; 60% R.H. and 16 L/8 D
photoperiod on Sweet Potato leaves. Thus, 5 artificial light colors were applied under
controlled laboratory conditions on these animals: blue, red, green, yellow and white
Neon. After treatment, the highest number of deposited eggs/female was observed by
using the blue color (14.9±0.5 eggs/female) while the lowest one was the yellow
(3.1±0.2 eggs/female) compared to 9.9±0.4 eggs/female for the control group. On the
other hand, diapause incidence was observed for the target females under conditions
of 18±2°C; 60±2% R.H. and the light and dark periods were set at 8 L/16 D,
respectively. Results showed that white Neon color caused the highest percentage of
diapausing females (88.66±1.8%) followed by green color (78±3.5%), yellow
(68.66±2%), the blue color with (54±2%), and finally none of them entered diapause
under red color. Results were analyzed and discussed for the aforementioned
important economic pest animals
