ABSTRACT
The object of research was to determine the impact of broad bean coordinate cultivation (Vicia faba L.), Bartek variety, with a white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) in two row spacing on the dynamics of feeding among imagines of pea leaf weevil (Sitona spp.). The investigations were conducted in the years 2014 and 2015 at the Experimental Station of the University of Agriculture, in Prusy near Cracow. The field experiment comprised the following objects: broad bean, Bartek cv. in pure culture, sown at standard 50 cm x 15 cm spacing (V); broad bean spaced 65 cm x 15 cm with white mustard as the crop intersown between the rows (V+S65); broad bean spaced 80 cm x 15 cm with white mustard as above (V+S80) and broad bean in pure culture, sown at standard 50 cm x 15 cm spacing, but chemically protected with insecticides Fastac 100 EC and Decis 2,5 EC (V ch). 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. The cultivation of broad bean with a white mustard in row spacing of 80 cm contributed significantly to the reduction in a degree of broad bean leaves damage by pea leaf weevil beetles. The use of smaller spacing - 65 cm limited the area of feeds but only in one of the research seasons. The effectiveness of broad bean protection through cultivation with a white mustard is a few times lower than for chemical protection.
