OBSERVATIONS ON THE STRUCTURE, DYNAMICS AND ABUNDANCE OF SPECIES OF EPIGEE COLEOPTERS IN ORCHARDS APPLE HAVING THE RANGE BETWEEN ROWS WITH HERBED BANDS

The observations were made in 2017 in a orchars apple plantation in Delesti – Vaslui area with the inter-line spacing in the form of grass strips, with the species Bromus inermis Leyss.To collect the material, in 2017 it was used Barber soil traps which were installed in the orchard, on the grassy interval between the previously mentioned species. During the vegetation period, from April to September, the insects were also collected from the traps, retaining and determining the beetle species.The material was collected periodically, at intervals of about 10-15 days, in total, 10 harvests. Among the collected species we mention: Harpalus calceatus, Dermestes laniarius, Harpalus distinguendus, Anysodactilus signatus, Otiorrhynchus porcatus, Aphthona euphorbiae, Malachius bipustulatus etc

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE EPIGEE COLEOPTEROPHUNA FROM APPLE TREE ORCHARDS WITH GRASSED BANDS BETWEEN ROWS SOWED WITH GUIDES (LOTUS CORNICULATUS)

In preparing this work, the material collected with the help of the soil traps type BARBER, of the "wet" type, was used in an apple tree orchards  in the Deleşti area, Vaslui county. The traps operated from May to September inclusive.The material from the traps was harvested periodically, throughout the vegetation period, depending on the pedoclimatic conditions, generally at intervals of 10-12 days.At each of the 10 collections of the material, the liquid in the trap was replaced. The material was then determined, identifying the species of beetles.The most frequently collected and the most numerous species are presented below: Harpalus calceatus (75 specimens), Harpalus pubescens (49 specimens), Anysodactilus binotatus (48 specimens), Harpalus tenebrosus (43 specimens)

RESEARCHES REGARDING THE ENTOMOFAUNA OF COCCINELLIDAE (COLEOPTERA-COCCINELLIDAE) FROM THE MAIZE CROP FROM THE NORTH-EAST PART OF MOLDAVIA

The purpose of this research is that to identify the useful entomofauna of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera-Coccinellidae) within the maize crop that has been taken into this study. The researches were carried out within Adamachi station which belongs to University of Appled Sciences of Iasi, Romania. The biological material was sampled by the mean of Barber soil traps from June 3rd of 2017 until July 9th. In total, 7 samples were made. Five traps were placed in a row. In order to prevent the maceration of insects, a conservative liquid was used: water+washing powder in a proportion of 16%. After finishing the experiments within the field, the insects were brought into the Laboratory of Entomology, in order to be counted and identified. From the Coccinellidae family, the most dominant species were:  Coccinella septempunctata (63 samples); Adalia bipunctata (28 samples) and Propylaea quatordecimpunctata (25 samples)

THE SITUATION OF THE ATTACK CAUSED BY THE LARVAE OF DIABROTICA VIRGIFERA VIRGIFERA, IN THE MAIZE CROPS OF NEAMŢ COUNTRY, UNDER CONDITIONS OF 2019

The material was collected in the corn crop belonging to the Ghiorghesti stationary, Neamt. In this periode, constant harvest was carried out between May and August 2018, by taking over biological material represented by roots and maize stalks that have been brought into the laboratory for examination and processing the data obtained. From the collected biological material, the Diabrotica virgifera virgifera specimens that have been determined and centralized have been retained.  The material was harvested on the three variants represented by untreated seed maize (V1), maize crop to which was applied the granulated soil treatment (V2) and maize crop to which was applied the seed treatment (V3). During the period of observation, were collected a number of 1951 specimens of larvae of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera. Following the centralization at variant 1 we totaled 963 specimens, at variant 2 we totaled 476secimens and at variant 3 we totaled 512 specimens

STRUCTURE, DYNAMICS AND ABUNDANCE OF ARTHROPODS COLLECTED FROM SOME APPLE FRUIT TREE ORCHARDS

For the study of the arthropods species of apple orchards and observations were made of the collected material by the soil traps type Barber. The traps placed in plantation were six in number, it’s situated on two row, by three per line. The traps were put in a formaldehyde solution with a concentration of 3-4%. The gathering of the material was made on the following dates: 15.05; 30.05; 30.06 and 15.07. The most common taxons collected were: Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Dermaptera, Arahnida, Miriapoda, Lepidoptera, Homoptera

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE STUDY OF THE COMPOSITION AND DYNAMICS OF THE ARTHROPOD FAUNA FROM SOME CORN CROPS IN THE N-E REGION OF MOLDOVA

In order to maintain biodiversity on intensively exploited agricultural land, the monitoring of harmful and useful species is extremely important, as it provides information on the quality of the land and, why not, can provide predictions on the stability of agroecosystems. The observations regarding the structure of the arthropod entomofauna were made between April and July in the year 2021 in a corn crop in the town of Ghigoiesti. The research carried out aimed to determine the structure and composition of the entomofauna, its abundance and diversity as well as their behavior in the maize crops in the station under observation, and the research was based on the use of Barber-type soil traps, a total of 6, placed in 3 in a row, which have as fixing solution a salt solution (NaCl) with a concentration of 20% for each of the three variants studied. The collected material is represented by species belonging to the arthropod fauna that systematically fall into the following orders: Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Diptera, Arachnida s.a

DYNAMICS OF THE APPEARANCE THE PEST DIABROTICA VIRGIFERA VIRGIFERA, IN THE MAIZE CROPS OF NEAMŢ COUNTRY, UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF 2019

Research on the dynamics of the appearance of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera was made in the frame of a farmland cultivated with maize in Neamt county. The biological material collected using sticky yellow traps during the year 2019 from June to August. The variants and repetitions of the experience were organized according to the mode of protection of culture and according to the treatment applied, and thus resulted in three variants as follows:Variant 1 - untreated maize; Variant 2 - ground treatment with granulated insecticide FORCE G 1.5; Variant 3 - treatment of the seed with Seedoprid 600 FS.During the entire period of observation, a total of 5313 adult specimens of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera were collected, where the first alert of the adult was made on 12 June, and its last registration was on 16 August

RESEARCH ON THE STRUCTURE AND ABUNDANCE OF BEETLES (ORD. COLEOPTERA)FROM SOME CORN CROPS IN NORTHERN MOLDOVA-ROMANIA

Within this station, three experimental variants were initiated that targeted the preceding culture. Therefore, the variants studied were: V1 maize in monoculture; V2 corn after sunflower; V3 corn after wheat. Barber-type soil traps were used to collect biological material, they worked continuously from April to July 2021, where a number of 5 collections were made for each variant. Barber traps consist of plastic containers of approx. 10-12 centimeters high and about 8-10 centimeters in diameter in which I used a salt solution (NaCl) with a concentration of about 20% as fixing liquid. Six traps were used for each experimental variant. Samples were collected at 12-15 day intervals when we changed the fixative – saline solution, replenished or, if necessary, replaced. The collected species were cleaned of all plant remains, other impurities, and then the coleoptera species were selected separately, and with the help of determinants they were identified. The structure, dynamics and abundance of coleopteran species were then determined according to each experimental variant, and the most frequently collected were: Tanymecus dilaticollis, Epicometis hirta, Coccinela 7- punctata, Harpalus calceatus, Harpalus distinguendus Formіcomus pedestrіs, Phyllotreta vittula, Opatrum sabulosum and Pentodonidiota
