At 1st week of applications, <em>S.officinalis<\/em> and <em>M.azedarach<\/em> extracts showed a significant efficacy of 64.79 % and 56.45 %, respectively, as well as a decline in the efficacy of the <em>S.aspera<\/em> extract was noticed (35.26%). The killing percentage reached up to 68.95% under the treatment of acaricide, and pyridaben after 24 hours of the treatments and exceeded up to 80 % at the 1<sup>st<\/sup> week, simultaneously the abamactin showed high percentage (65.33 % and 78.43 % after 24 hours and 1<sup>st<\/sup> week, respectively), while the efficacy of the pesticide acetamiprid was very low and reached the highest record of 37.28 % at the 1st week. The efficacy of the predators <em>P. persimilis<\/em> and <em>S. gilvifrons<\/em> simultaneously increased and controlled <em>T.urticae<\/em> populations three weeks after treatment, and <em>P. persimilis<\/em> showed more efficiency (53.72 % and 58.12% for <em>P. persimilis<\/em> and 35.71 % , 47.11% for <em>S. gilvifrons<\/em>, in the 3rd and the 4th week, respectively). The <em>M. azedarach<\/em> extracts was superior to all plant extracts with a significant difference. The efficacy of the treatments of both the plant extracts and the chemical pesticides reduced significantly in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> weeks, as well as the natural-origin compound abamectin recorded high efficacy with no significant difference with the treatment of the specialized acaricide pyridaben, while there was a significant difference comparing with the other treatments.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Plant extract, Chemical pesticides, Predator release, <em>Tetranychus urticae, Stethorus gilvifrons, Phytoseiulus persimilis.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Full paper in Arabic:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/v5no3p19.pdf\"><strong>PDF<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ibraheem Aziz Sakr(1), Mageda Muhammad Mufleh(2), Randa Ahmad Suliman*(1) (1).
