- Abstract
Pests are a major pressure on the quantity and quality of potato plants. In potato culture, apart from the most damaging disease, downy mildew, the most important pests are aphids because of the large number of viruses they transmit. The green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) is a threat to potatoes being able to cause serious injury (directly by depriving the plant of essential nutrients), vectors of viruses (potato virus Y, cucumber mosaic virus and PVY) and develop easily resistant races to insecticides. Control of Myzus persicae is necessary to achieve optimal potato production. The purpose of the study was to test the effectiveness of some bioinsecticides in the control of green peach aphid. The trial was located near Belinț (Timiş county). Bioinsecticides used to control the green peach aphid were: Kabon, Bitoxybacilin, Konia K Plus. The assessments of the products effectiveness was established at: 24 hours, 5 days, 10 days. At the time of applying the biological treatments, the population density of Myzus persicae was 52 - 86 individuals/10 potato plants. The bioinsecticide Konia K Plus had the highest effectiveness in reducing the population of Myzus persicae (in all three assessments determining positive differences related to the mean). The lowest mortality of the peach green aphid, in potato crop, was achieved in the variant treated with Kabon.
