Abstract

The paper presents the descriptions as well as drawings of three species of eriophyid mites found on coniferous plants as new in Poland: Trisetacus juniperinus (Nalepa) from Juniperus procumbens, Eriophyes junipereti Keifer from Juniperus communis L. 'Hibemica' and Cecidophyopsis psilaspis (Nalepa) from Taxus baccata L. Additionally, eriophyoid mites collected from Thuja occidentalis and Tsuga canadensis are discussed in this paper.

Abstract

Azadirachtin is the most active substance separated from Azadirachta indica. It acts destructively on numerous species of insects and mites. The aim of the presented investigations was to determine the effect of azadirachtin on one of the most dangerous pests of cabbage plants, Pieris brassicae, and on its natural enemy, Apanteles glomerarus. The results of the field observations did not show any repellent effect of azadirachtin relating to laying their eggs cabbage butterflies. However, a significant effect of the azadiraehtin solution on reduction the number of cabbage butterfly caterpillars (it was more distinctly marked in respect to young larva stages) as well as on limited feeding by caterpillars. No negative influence of azadirachtin on a parasite of Pieris brassicae caterpillars, Apanteles glomeratus was distinctly shown.

Abstract

Influence of triforine (standard), garlic juice, Antifung 20 SL (20% vermicompost), Atpolan 80 EC (76% mineral oil), Biosept (grapefruit juice) and Atonik AL on development of Sphaerotheca pannosa var. rosae was evaluated. Garlic juice, Atpolan 80 EC and Biosept applied as rose spray gave similar effect in the control S. pannosa var. rosae as triforine. Observations under scanning electron microscop indicated that 24 hrs after rose spraying all tested compounds cause almost complete collapse of conidia and hyphe.

Abstract

In 1997 and 1998, insects settling cultures of goats rue (Galega orientalis Lam.) at Mochelek were caught. Amongst ground beetles the dominating species were: Pterostichus melanarius lll., Carabus auratus L., Harpalus rufipes De Geer, Harpalus aeneus F., and Bembidion lampros Hbst. and Harp alus frolichi Sturm. were subdominants.

Abstract

Results of two-year studies on the aphids number in different uncultivated habitats (field boundaries, roadsides, field shrubs and forest margins) are presented. The analysis of data permitted to distinguish two basic types of change in the aphids number in a vegetation season.

Abstract

In the years 1995-1997, studies were carried out on the occurrence of aphids and ladybirds on winter wheat in the south-eastern Poland. Depending on the atmospheric conditions the first aphids on wheat plantations were found from decade li of May. The peak of their mass occurrence was recorded in decads II and lll of June. The first overwintering beetles ladybirds began their flight over the plantations from decade Ill of April till decade II of May. The peak of a mass occurrence of these beetles was noted in decades II and lll ofMay. In all the localities and years of the studies the peak of a mass occurrence of beetles of ladybirds always preceded the mass occurrence of aphids on winter wheat.

Abstract

The purpose of the studies carried out in the years 1996-1998 was to establish the composition of bacteria and fungi communities in the soil of spring wheat and winter wheat. Besides, the studies provided the information on quantitative and qualitative composition of amino acids as well as the amount of water soluble sugars in roots exudates of these cereals. The microbiological analysis of I g of dry weight of soil coming from the rhizosphere of spring wheat revealed the mean number of 4.94 x I O' bacteria colonies and 45.08 x 1 O 3 fungi colonies. In the case ofwinter wheat, in Ig of dry weight of the rhizosphere soil 5.07 x 10 'bacteria colonies and 28.59 x l O 3 fungi colonies (mean of three year studies) were found. Besides, winter wheat, through the proper composition of root exudates, created positive nutritional conditions for the growth of microorganisms showing antagonistic effect towards pathogenic fungi. The rhizosphere soil of winter wheat contained 1.5 times more antagonistic bacteria and more than twice antagonistic fungi as compared to spring wheat.

Abstract

In the research of voracity of syrphid larvae it was found that the number of aphids Aphis Jabae Scop. eaten by larvae oscillated between 300-800 specimens depending on the syrphid species. Larvae of Syrphus ribesii (L.) appearred to be the most voracious. It was found that predator-prey ratio from 1:25 to 1:50 was the most effective at Episyrphus ba/teat us (Deg.) and Sphaerophoria scripta (L.) larvae in Aphis fabae control on broad bean.

Abstract

In the years 1997-1999, studies on the intensity of the slug Arion lusitanicus occurring in different microhabitats were carried out on the territory of Podkarpackie province. Observations were performed in the environments of vegetable gardens, arable fields and non-crop areas. The intensity of the slug occurrence varied greatly in arable crops of different plant species and in other microhabitats. Vegetable crops and areas adjacent to them were inhabited by the slug most numerously. Considerably less slugs occurred in agricultural plant crops.

Abstract

The experiments were carried out in Rzeszów, a region of the Arion lusitanicus mass occurrence, and also in Poznań. The studies were performed under field conditions, in isolators dug into the ground. It was found that the slug began egg laying by the end of the first decade of August. The period of egg laying, depending on meteorological conditions, lasted for 2-3.5 months. The eggs were laid in clutches, each containing from 5 to 193 eggs. Most of eggs laid in August hatched before winter. For the eggs laid in mid-August the period of hatching was shorter than those laid at the tum of August/September, and the percentage of hatched eggs was lower. Eggs deposited at later dates (in September-November) did not hatch before winter.

Abstract

Efficacy of azoxystrobin, dichlofluanid, imazalil, kresoxim-methyl, propiconazole and triforine (standard) in the control ofDiplocarpon rosae was evaluated in the years 1997-1999. The compounds were applied as a plant spray. First treatment of plants was performed when first disease symptoms occurred on leaves and spraying was repeated 9 times at weekly intervals. In the autumn of 1999 plants not previously treated with fungicides and showing visible disease symptoms were spraye and after one, 7 and 14 days diseased leaves were sampled. Spores from leaves were transferred onto Petri dishes with potato-dextrose agar. Number of germinating spores was counted after 24 h incubation (4 Petri dishes for each compounds). After 9-weeks protection of rose shrubs with the tested compounds the spread of mycelium on new leaves was strongly inhibited. Only bupirimate at concentration 0,05% gave very poor control of D. rosae. All other tested compounds were better or as good as triforine. Reduction of concentrations used resulted in lower effectiveness. After I, 7 or 14 days from the last spraying of plants with dichlofluanid, kresoxim-methyl and triforine germination of fungus spores was below 9% except kresoxim-methyl at concentration O.Ol% after 14 days (12.5%).

Abstract

Disappearance of iprodione deposits on peppers, eggplants and tomatoes grown in commercial greenhouses and in a foil tunnel were studied. It was found that iprodione residues on ripening fruits decreased according to simple regression lines. Their initial values dropped by half and reached zero levels within 2.5-2.8 and about 5 weeks after Rovral FLO 255 SC application, respectively. Iprodione deposits on pepper leaves dropped within four weeks only by 30% while on eggplant leaves in practice stayed at the same level. The chemical may be suitable for the comparative study of real disappearance of pesticides after their applications for the control of pests and diseases.

Abstract

In greenhouse trials in 1998-1999, the effects of using new spray techniques on the activity of two herbicides for broad-leaved weeds control were examined. Also retention of spray solution containing herbicides with and without addition of oil adjuvant on Chenopodium album and Sinapsis alba leaves was measured. Results showed that air induction and conventional flat fan nozzle gave similar control of tested plants, except Chenopodium album control where fine sprays applied with conventional flat fan nozzle improved efficacy compared with very course spray obtained with air induction nozzle. Also results showed that oil adjuvant addition enhanced biological efficacy for all nozzles, regardless of using herbicide and controlled plant species. Droplet size was the most important factor determining spray retention and activity of herbicides. Efficacy of spray retention depends on the wetting characteristics of the plant, spray application and solution factors.
