Potato beetle larvae descending to soil for pupation were the soil bioindicator. Samples of soil were collected in the distance of 500 to 1,000 m from the factory emitters, and later the lead content was determined in the Chemical Agricultural Station in Rzeszów. The lead level in the l" pollution zone was 200.0 mg Pb/kg while in the 2"d zone 70.0 mg/kg, and in the soil sample from the control field the level was 12.0 mg/kg. The obtained results of the analysis conducted in the laboratory of the Regional Experimental Station did not show any significant differences between both the beetle mass which emerged from the soil, and their number from the control field and the experimental one.}, type={Article}, title={Research on possibility of using potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) as a bioindicator of soil polluted by lead}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/131043/PDF-MASTER/10_PLANT_42_1_2002_Przybylski_Research.pdf}, keywords={lead, agroecosystem, Colorado beetle}, }
