In the years 2013-2014, the effectiveness of plant-derived preparations in controlling the rosy apple aphid Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini) and the green apple aphid Aphis pomi (de Geer) was assessed in an organic apple orchard. Use was made of own in-house made preparations that included infusions of the field horsetail Equisetum arvense (L.), garlic Allium sativum (L.), seeds of white mustard Sinapis alba (L.) and Indian mustard Brassica juncea (L.) (2014), a decoction of the wood of Quassia amara (L.), an extract from the seeds of the Indian neem tree Azadirachta indica (L.), and horticultural potassium soap with tansy, with the addition of ethyl alcohol. Protective treatments were performed three times at sevenday intervals. Approx. 6 days after the last treatment, samples of shoots and leaves were collected, and the impact of the preparations on the mortality of aphids was assessed. In both years, the highest reduction in the number of aphid colonies of both species was recorded after the application of the decoction of Quassia wood (81.8% - in 2013, and 52.9% - in 2014), garlic extract (77.3% - in 2013), and the neem extract (59.1% - in 2013, and 66.2% - in 2014). The potassium soap limited the number of colonies of aphids to a lesser extent, but the results for both years were reproducible (31.8% - 2013, and 30.9% - 2014). Consistent percentage of mortality of the green apple aphid and the rosy apple aphid was also recorded in both years after the application of the extract from neem seeds (34.1% - 2013, and 35.1% - 2014). The other preparations showed a much more varied and smaller effect on the mortality of aphids, which ranged from 8.2% to 37.63%. At harvest, samples of fruit were collected randomly from each combination and assessed in terms of the occurrence of deformation resulting from the rosy apple aphid feeding on fruitlets. The fruits were divided into three groups depending on the extent of deformation (severe, moderate, slight). In 2013, there were from 4.5 to 7% of deformed fruits, the fewest after the application of extracts from garlic (4.5%) and white mustard (4.8%), and in 2014 from 9.3 to 16.8%, the fewest after using the neem extract (9.3%) and potassium soap (9.8%).
