ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of tillage and no-tillage cultivation on entomopathogenic
fungi in the soil. The research was carried out in 2021-2022 on plots at the
Field Experimental Station of the Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute
in Winna Góra, Poland. Winter oilseed rape, pea and winter wheat were grown on the
plots. Entomopathogenic fungi were isolated using the trapping insect method and their
occurrence intensity was assessed. The results demonstrated a positive effect of no-tillage
cultivation on the presence of entomopathogenic fungi in the soil. In May 2021, the greatest
numbers of trapped insect larvae infected by fungi were in the pea plots (90%) with
no-tillage systems, while with tillage it was 43% lower. In June 2022, the greatest number of
larvae infected by fungi were in the pea plots (96.7%) with no-tillage systems, while with
tillage it was 23% lower. Among the isolated entomopathogenic fungi, the dominant genus
was Cordyceps in all cultivation technologies.
