Agricultural crops, or agriculture in general, are one of the greatest blessings that God Almighty has bestowed upon mankind. Since the beginning of creation and since the descent of our master Adam and his wife Eve to Earth, mankind has not enjoyed stability or tasted bliss until he discovered the field of agriculture and worked in it.
But agriculture, like any other field in which humans work, faces some problems. The agricultural dilemma lies in many problems, the most important of which are crop insects, and this is what we will talk about in detail and address some of its topics today. Most of the insects found in the agricultural field cause damage to the crop and feed on the succulent benefits present in it, and thus lead to the loss of a large part of the crop and then the deterioration of the agricultural situation in the country.
Types of agricultural insects "agricultural pests"
- Insects that transmit plant diseases
- plant diggers
- almond insects
Firstly Insects that transmit plant diseases
mealybug
It is a type of agricultural insect, specifically the insect that transmits plant diseases. It generally damages garden plants, as this insect sucks the plant sap after piercing the skin. It stays attached to the plant due to its lack of wings. There is a type of this insect that infects the sugarcane plant.
Pear shaped
This insect has many names, including the “smoked pear borer.” It belongs to the Prunaceae family and is native to Asia and Europe. It has spread widely in Latin America. It burrows into pear trees, sucks their sap, and causes significant damage to their leaves, reducing the yield.
Bark beetle and ambrosia
Some scientists consider this family to be a distinct family of weevils, others currently view them as specialized members of the true weevil family, and still others see them as similar to the coffee berry borer that attacks coffee crops all over the globe.
leaf beetle
This beetle forms one of the most common units among all its families, as this beetle can be identified partly by its tarsal form. This family is defined by a set of characters, and some of these lineages are distinguished by difficulty from the long-horned beetles.
flower flies
Some scientists call it “cabbage fly.” It is a type of agricultural insect. It looks like bees and wasps due to the yellow stripes on its back. It is always found in flowering orchards or flowers in general. It is a type of pest that transmits diseases in general. One of its advantages in flying is that it can stand in the air while flying.
fruit fly
It is a yellow fly with striped wings like the “Tephritidae” and it contains 5 species.
The real Soussia
It is a type of insect that belongs to the order Coleoptera. Some scientists named it the family of snout beetles. In 1998, it was known that this family was the largest in the world of insects, after studies and conclusions of more than forty thousand species that were described globally. Until that time, it is still one of the largest known families, as it also includes “bark.”
Leaf jumps
It is a type of plant insect. Some people call this insect “leafhoppers,” and in colloquial language it is called “hoppers.” This insect feeds itself by absorbing the sap found in tree leaves or in grasses, and it jumps on trees using its hind leg.
secondly plant holes
tomato leaf miner
In some countries, this insect is called the "tomato leaf miner." This insect is usually found in tomato crops. This insect originated in South America and has recently been classified as a major threat to the tomato crop.
Apple stem borer
This insect has great economic importance and is a type of agricultural insect, as it infects a huge number of all fruit trees. It specifically infects the stems of apple, pear, peach, cherry, olive and pomegranate trees, and through its wide spread, it covers most of the areas where these trees are grown.
fig stem borer
This insect is a Coleoptera spp., and scientists consider it one of the main fig pests that infects both large and small fig trees. It is widespread in all fig-growing areas, particularly in the Levant.
peach stem borer
This insect specifically infects wild trees, trees that are neglected in planting and watering, or trees that are planted in soil with a high percentage of lime.
