N2  - Experiments were conducted to investigate the susceptibility of three  squash cultivars (Revera, Eskandarany and Mabrouka) to  Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) and Bemisia tabaci (Genn.)  infestation; relationship between leaf phytochemical components and P.  latus and B. tabaci infestation; the population dynamics of the broad mite  P. latus and whitefly B. tabaci infesting squash; its response to some  surrounding environmental factors (daily mean temperature, daily mean  relative humidity and average wind speed); and finally its control by some  insecticides   For such purpose, trial was conducted at Kaha Plant Protection  Research Institute station, Qalubiya Governorate during summer and nili  of 2011 and 2012 seasons in the open field  Different stages of P. latus and B. tabaci populations showed  insignificantly negative correlations with temperature in summer season  and positive in nili season. The direction of this relationship may be due  to that those pests prefers moderate temperature, while daily average  temperature during summer season was 27-31 {u00B0} C and 18.5-30 {u00B0} C during  nili season. Relative humidity had opposite results  Eskandarany cultivar was the most susceptible cultivar to P. latus  and B. tabaci different stages infestations. On the other hand, Revera  cultivar was infested with low numbers of P. latus and B. tabaci different  stages infestations.   Finally, Congest proved to be the most effective pesticide in  reducing P. latus movable stages (80.3%), while NeemAzal had the  lowest effect (18.9%) on P. latus. Orizon proved to be the most effective  pesticide in reducing B. tabaci immature stages (83.6%), while Biosect  had the lowest effect (42.86%) on B. tabaci.
