| Abstract : |
In the course of 2000 and 2001, from locations with representative
properties in the geographical and agricultural regions in Montenegro: Zeta-
Bjelopavlici (Grbe, Vranjske Njive, Sadine, Grbavci, Balabani and Trešnjica);
the coastal region (Prcanj); and the region of high mountains and deep valleys
(Kolašin - Smailagica Polje), insects were collected from crops of cabbage,
collards, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and kohlrabi using Malaise
Traps, Barber soil traps, Yellow dishes, Light Traps, and manually from the
plants. In this paper, the most significant pests were highlighted, which are the
species from the genus Pieris spp, followed by Brevicoryne brassicae L.,
Aleyrodes proletella L., species from the genus Phyllotreta spp and species
belonging to the family Curculionidae. We can separate the Eurydema ventrale
Kol. species as less dangerous. All of them, one by one, can completely destroy
cabbage plants in Montenegro, in cases where we cannot, or do not want to,
protect plants by using chemical treatments. In this paper, we also presented the
seasonal dynamics of those insects. |
