ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to assess the impact of intercropping White Windsor broad beans with coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) on the dynamics of adult pea weevils (Sitona spp.) feeding and the degree of nodules damage caused by Sitona spp larvae. The experiment was conducted in the period 2011-2012 at the Prusy Experimental Station, which belongs to the University of Agriculture in Krakow. The experiment involved the following objects: broad beans in a homogeneous crop (control); broad beans intercropped with coriander; broad beans intercropped with fennel. The evaluation of the feeding intensity of adult pea weevils was conducted on 25 randomly selected plants from each plot, by measuring the surface area of eaten leaves, counting injured and non-injured leaves and calculating the loss of leaf blade as the result of their feeding. For the determination of larvae harmfulness, root nodules were analyzed at the end of June. Intercropping with coriander and fennel significantly reduced the feeding of pea leaf weevils on the White Windsor variety of broad beans. The effect was particularly visible in the initial period of plant growth, which is important due to the greatest impact of pests’ feeding activity during that period. The proximity of the examined herb species did not affect the number of root nodules produced by broad beans, or the degree of root nodules damage caused by Sitona sp. larvae.
