ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of aqueous extracts from fresh and dry peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) matter on the feeding of Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say.) adults (males and females) and larvae (L2, L3 and L4 stages). The experiment was conducted under laboratory conditions in five replications. Extracts were prepared at concentrations of 2%, 5% and 10% for dry matter and 10%, 20% and 30% for fresh matter. Pest feeding intensity assessment was carried out by dipping leaves of potato in respective solutions of the extracts, and then determining the weight of food eaten by adults and larvae, and changes in larvae body weight once a day. The results of the experiment showed that extracts prepared from dry matter at the two highest concentrations (5 and 10%) and from fresh matter at a concentration of 30% significantly reduced the feeding of L2 and L3 larvae of the Colorado potato beetle. None of the extracts was found to have a significant effect on the feeding of potato beetle adults. Moreover, the fresh matter extract at a concentration of 10% stimulated the feeding of L4 larval stage. Dry plant matter extracts at two highest concentrations caused a significant decrease in the body weight of L2 and L3 potato beetle larvae. On the other hand, L4 larvae feeding on the object where fresh peppermint extracts at a concentration of 10% were applied were characterized by a significantly higher body weight gain than the larvae feeding on the control.
