BEETROOT DAMAGE DUE TO THE BLACK BEAN APHID (APHIS FABAE SCOP) INFESTATION

Wojciech Goszczyński, Elżbieta Cichocka, Bogumił Leszczyński

 

ABSTRACT



Presented data suggest that a short-term (up to 3 weeks) infestation of beetroot crop by relatively unnumerous aphids (only a few specimens per leaf) shows a stimulative effect on the growth of roots and reduces their content of nitrates.

Key words: Aphis fabae, broad bean, harmfulness, EPG.
