ABSTRACT
The investigations were conducted to determine the effect of fennel and coriander intercropping with broad bean (Vicia faba L.) on the degree of leaf and verruca injuries by Sitona sp. beetles. The experiment was carried out in 2009-2010 at the Prusy Experimental Station of the University of Agriculture in Krakow. The observations were conducted on broad bean (Vicia faba L.), White Windsor c.v. cultivated as pure culture (Control) and intercropped with coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) or fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.). No significant effect of the applied intercropped plants was registered on the degree of verruca injuries due to Sitona sp. larvae. The influence of coriander and fennel on feeding of the adult specimens was ambiguous. In 2009 broad bean intercropped with coriander contributed to limiting the percentage of leaves injured by the beetles in the initial period of their feeding, whereas in 2010, in the later period of beetles' feeding it contributed to the increase in the number of injured leaves, consumed area and resulting leaf blade loss. Differences between the 2009 and 2010 seasons might have been due to different weather conditions. Heavy and frequent rainfall in 2010 inhibited pest feeding and might have also modified the effect resulting from the vicinity if intercropped plant.
