ABSTRACT

Three apple orchards differed between each other with the cultivation system and the type of agrotechnical treatments situated near Lublin were chosen for the studies, which were conducted in three vegetation periods in the years 1999-2001. The purpose of the studies was to establish the species composition and the number of leaf tortricids (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) occurring in apple orchards. Totally, 2593 caterpillars and 64 pupae of leaf tortricids were collected during the studies. Both the larvae and the pupae occurred in the greatest numbers in the orchard without any chemical protection. The occurrence of 13 species of leaf tortricids belonging to two sub-families: Tortricinae (11 species) and Olethreutinae (2 species), was observed as a result of the studies. The occurrence of all 13 species was observed in the orchard without any protective treatments. 6 species of leaf tortricids were found in the orchard with a limited program of protection, whereas in the intensively protected orchard – only 3 species. Archips rosana (L.), constituting 41.0% of all marked individuals, was the most numerous species. During the three years of studies the greatest number of leaf tortricid caterpillars in all the apple orchards was found on Idared cv.

Key words: leaf tortricids, Lepidoptera, Tortricidae, apple orchards, the species composition, the number.
