| Abstract:
The paper reviews the dynamic of the orchard Arthropodae population in different programs. The insects and mites were tested and determined in the period between 1991/1994. The largest number of species was found in the IPM (program A) in which exclusively bio- insecticides were used, while the smallest number of species was determined in the standard IPM, where in addition to bioproducts insect development inhibitors and organic phosphorus insecticides with secondary effect were used. The IPM (program A) showed 87 species in total, the IPM (program B) showed 29 species, while the standard IPM showed only 14 species. Major differences in the number of species in particular programs were found in the butterfly order (Lepidoptera). While the IPM program A showed 42 butterfly species the standard IPM showed only 3 species. | |
