1994
Miller, R.H. | Ghannoum, M.I.
Fields of wheat and barley in the major cereal growing areas of Syria were sampled for insect pests. Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), was found for the first time in rainfed barley in southern Syria, in irrigated barley fields in the desert steppe of central Syria, and in irrigated wheat and barley along the Euphrates River Valley. Some sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Put., damage was observed in northern Syria, but ground pearl, Porphyrophora sp., infestations were uncommon. Cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus L., was locally abundant in southern Syria, and wheat stem sawflies, Cephus sp., were observed south of Aleppo. The potential for insect pest damage to wheat and barley in Syria is discussed
