ABSTRACT
The aim of the studies was to determine the effect of aqueous extracts from fresh and dry matter of tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus L.) on the voracity of Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis Pallas) larvae and adults. Extracts of tarragon were prepared in concentrations assumed conventionally as 2, 5 and 10% for dry matter and 10, 20 and 30% for fresh matter. Redistilled water was used as the control. The study investigated the gastric effect of the extracts on the voracity of the Asian lady beetle at two developmental stages: imago and L3 larvae. Aqueous tarragon extracts reduced the prey consumption in Asian lady beetle larvae in the L3 stage, but had no significant impact on the voracity in imago. The deterrence of prey consumption in lady beetle larvae was proportional to the increase in concentrations of the extracts used, and was stronger for extracts prepared from fresh tarragon matter. The findings provide evidence in favour of using tarragon extracts, especially in the initial period of aphid presence, before the appearance of lady beetle larvae.
