Abstract : Abstracts are given of the numerous papers that were presented at a conference on agricultural entomology in Israel held in that country in February 1983. The abstracts are presented under the following headings: ecology of insects and various methods of biological control (7 abstracts), chemical control (8 abstracts), orchard and vineyard pests (6 abstracts), pests of vegetables and flowers (9 abstracts), pests of citrus (7 abstracts) and pests of field crops (4 abstracts). Mention is made of several arthropods recently recorded for the first time from Israel, including Coccus elatensis Ben-Dov, which attacks mango in Elat, Aonidiella orientalis (Newst.), which was found for the first time in 1980 on mango in the Arava, Dysmicoccus brevipes (Ckll.), which was found on date palms at Yotvata and Grofit, Panonychus citri (McG.), which was first found on citrus near Hadera in 1979-80 and has now spread from western Galilee in the north to Neta'im in the southern Coastal Plain, and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), which was first found there in 1978 and now infests many vegetable crops and ornamental crops in the field and in greenhouses.
