埃及盛产棉花、小麦、水稻和玉米。历年来虫害发生严重,据估计每年损失约6亿埃磅。近年来,开展害虫综合防治取得显著效果,生物防治也引起了广泛重视。埃及农业部所属农业研究中心的植物保护研究所,设有生物防治研究室,主要进行棉花害虫生物防治的研究。其它作物害虫研究室一般也设有生物防治研究课题。 Egypt is rich in cotton, wheat, rice and corn. Pest damage has been severe over the years, with an estimated annual loss of about 600 million Egyptian pounds. In recent years, comprehensive prevention and control of pests have achieved remarkable results, and biological control has drawn wide attention. The Institute of Plant Protection of the Agricultural Research Center under the Ministry of Agriculture of Egypt has a biological control research center, which mainly studies the biological control of cotton pests. Other crop pest laboratories generally also have biological control research topics.
