ABSTRACT
In 2010-2012, in the Experimental Ecological Orchard of the Research Institute of Horticulture in Skierniewice, a study was conducted on the possibility of reducing populations of the apple sawfly (Hoplocampa testudinea Klug) using biological formulations. The tests involved treatments with an extract from the wood of Quassia amara (4 kg/ha) and an extract from the seeds of Azadirachta indica in the form of a ready-made formulation NeemAzal-T/S at a rate of 2.5 l/ha with the addition of a 0.3% sugar solution. A single treatment was performed in the first two years, and two treatments in the last year. The effectiveness of the protection of fruitlets against damage varied and for the Q. amara extract was from 8.3% (one treatment) to 86.1% (two treatments), and for the NeemAzal-T/S formulation from 4.8% (one treatment) to 44.3% (two treatments). In relation to the damage to fruits, the efficacy of the treatments also varied, ranging from 10.3% to 60% for the Q. amara extract, and from 0% to 46.7% for NeemAzal-T/S.
