Efficacy assessment of field trapping of the currant borer Synanthedon tipuliformis (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) using different lures with synthetic sex pheromone
Journal Title: Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering (ISSN 1642-686X) - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 2
Abstract
Two-component blends of (2E,13Z)-2,13-octadecadienyl acetate (E2,Z13-18:Ac) and (3E,13Z)-3,13-octadecadienyl acetate (E3,Z13-18:Ac) used in pheromone dispenser were as attractive to males of Synanthedon tipuliformis as standard lure from the Csalomon company, based on field trapping tests. The attractiveness of dispensers with pheromone blend combined in a E2,Z13-18:Ac/E3,Z13-18:Ac - mixture ratio 97:3 at dose of 1000 µg was the highest. Field experiments were performed in central Poland at three commercial black currant plantations and one commercial plantation of gooseberry (no plantation was treated with an insecticide) during the seasons of 2015 and 2017. The use of lures tested to evaluate effectiveness of a pest management programs (monitoring) is discussed.

Dry matter and protein yields and leaf greenness index (SPAD) of alfalfa and festulolium depending on cultivation method and soil moisture level
The aim of the study was to assess the influence of water deficiency in the soil and cultivation method on dry matter and protein yields as well relative chlorophyll content of alfalfa and festulolium leaves. The pot exp...
Nitrogen leaching from soils in the aspect of its balance
Nitrogen is the basic element directly affecting plant yielding. This causes that it is widely used as a component of mineral fertilizers. With increased doses of mineral nitrogen, only a certain part of it is used by pl...
Availability and quality of organic seed of some vegetables
Ecological seed is very necessary, but its quality is often much lower than of conventional seeds. The aim of the study was to compare the sowing value of organic seeds of different vegetable species with their conventio...
The influence of habitat conditions on developing and floristic character of Arrhenatheretum elatioris community syntaxons in the Flinta valley (Central Poland)
Differentiation of habitat conditions results in the development of areas of ryegrass grasslands of significant floristic variation and provides a basis for the distinction of lower phytosociological units. The paper con...
