ORIGINAL PAPER
Field margins in winter wheat agrocenosis as reservoirs of beneficial ground beetles (Col., Carabidae)
Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering 2008;53(4):123-127
KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to determine the differences between ground beetle abundance and their species structure on winter wheat field and adjacent uncultivated habitat. To realize this, Barber's pitfall traps were used. It was shown that adults of Carabidae were significantly abundant on arable field. But, in case of field margin much higher level of species diversity of this beneficial group was recorded. Higher number of species recognized in both biotopes indicates possibility of ground beetles for migration from boundary to wheat field. Thus, they can act as effective agents of biocontrol.
