Occurrence of terrestrial entomo- and arachnofauna in broad bean crop protected with non-chemical method

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different non-chemical methods of broad beans protection against diseases and pests on the occurrence of terrestrial fauna. The experiment was conducted in the years 2010 - 2012 at the Experimental Station – Prusy, near Kraków. It was set up in three replications as randomized blocks. Fauna was trapped using Barber’s traps. Broad beans crops were protected with Polyversum WP, Bioczos BR and Biosept 33 SL and intercropping beans with fennel and coriander. Obtained results were compared with a standard protection method using chemical preparations. Intercropping beans with fennel contributed to increase the number of terrestrial fauna, in particular representatives of springtails. Coriander, as a companion plant, contributed to the increase of the Carabidae beetles presence. Protection with the use of non-chemical preparations (Polyversum WP, Bioczos BR, Biosept 33 SL) did not affect the occurrence of terrestrial fauna in general, as well as carabids, spiders and springtails. Protection with the use of artificially synthesized preparations (Decis 2.5 EC, Fastac 100 EC, Penncozeb 80 WP), contributing indirectly to increase of soil covering, increased occurrence of springtails.
