Olive is one of the evergreen trees that grows best in the Mediterranean climate. The olive tree is used in urban green spaces, and its fruit has various food, industrial and medicinal uses. Euphyllura pakistanica Loginova (Hem.: Liviidae) is the most important of olive pests in recent years. Nymphs and adults of this pest cause weakness of olive trees by sucking plant sap, and with white wax secretions, they cause the appearance of trees to be deformed. In the present research, the effect of imidacloprid, chlorpyrifos and soap in concentrations of 0.5 and 1.5 was investigated to control of eggs, nymphs and adults. The experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design with seven treatments and three repetitions in the spring of 1402 in Allameh Majlesi Blvd. in Shahrood. Live insects were counted one day before spraying and 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after spraying, respectively. The control treatment consisted of trees that were sprayed with distilled water. The criterion for estimating the effectiveness of tested insecticides was the number of surviving eggs, nymphs and adults on the olive branch (and terminal bud). The size of the sampled branch was 10 cm. The results showed that there was a significant difference between treatments. So that imidacloprid treatment with a concentration of 1.5 per thousand has the most effect in reducing the egg population and chlorpyrifos with a concentration of 1.5 per thousand 21 days after spraying has the most effect in controlling olive psyllid eggs. Also, the imidacloprid treatment of 1.5 per thousand had the greatest effect in reducing the nymph population in all the counted days after spraying. Chlorpyrifos with a high concentration, 3, 7 and 21 days after spraying and imidacloprid at a concentration of 1.5 showed the greatest effect on the survival of olive psyllid adults. According to the results, it seems that the mentioned compounds can control the amount of damage of this important pest in the urban green space of Shahrood region as expected. Considering the density of olive psyllium in Shahrood region and especially in spring and summer, it seems necessary to use insecticide compounds against this significant pest in urban green spaces.
