- Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of petrol, diesel fuel, used engine oil and ZB-01 product supporting bio- remediation on Sitona spp. feeding. The experiment was conducted in 2013 and 2015 at the Experimental Station of the University of Agriculture in Krakow. The experimental field in 2010 was contaminated with petroleum-derived substances in quantity of 6000 mg per 1 kg of dry mass and subjected to bioremediation (with especially prepared ZB-01 product). The evaluation of Sitona spp. feeding intensity was conducted by measuring the loss of leaf blade, the surface area consumed by insects and by counting the damaged and undamaged leaves. The results of the experiment showed that the oils contributed to the reduction of the number of plants damaged by beetles and also reduced the consumed surface area. The effect of petrol varied and depended on the year when the study was conducted. Applied bioremediation in 2013 contributed to the reduction of beetles feeding while in 2015 an inverse relationship was reported.
