الملخص EN

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the most important factors affecting the infestation rate with the olive moth, Prays oleo (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), in three olive growing locations in Attakai and Tartu’s Governorates (Al-Sawda, AinShiqaq and Al Barcia).

The study was carried out during the period 2019-2020.

Results obtained showed that the location had an effect on the infestation rate, and the highest average infestation rate was 33.53% in Al-Barqiah location, followed by 20.86% in Ain Shkak, and the lowest was 16.65% in Al-Sawda location.

Results obtained also showed that the insect generation had an effect on the olive moth infestation rate; infestation of the phyllophagous generation was the highest, followed by the antophagous generation and the carpophagous generation in the three locations.

The x² (Chi-square) test showed that there were significant differences between the infestation rate and the total number of biological enemies, the number of predators and the parasitism rate in the three locations.
