ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to compare the Noctuidae moths in three selected farmland environments, using ecological indices. The study was conducted from 2003 to 2006 on fields sown with winter wheat, sugar beets, maize and winter rape plants. The
subject of the study was the imago of moth caught by light traps. Light traps (Polish brand) were located at: the Institute of Plant
Protection, the Agricultural Research Station in Winna Góra, the Sugar Beet Breeding Research Station in Więcławice and the Institute
of Plant Protection in the Poznań research garden. The collected Noctuidae
imagines were identified and characterized quantitatively
and qualitatively. The Noctuidae
imagines were analyzed using Shannon-Weaver ́s diversity index (H ́), Simpson ́s dominance index
(d) and Marczewski-Steinhaus index of similarity (MS %). The results showed a higher similarity between species composition in the
agrocenos of Poznań and Więcławice. The smallest diversity of species, reflected in the lowest value of the diversity index and the high
value of the dominance index, was observed in the biotic community of Winna Góra which reveals a few Noctuidae, namely:
Agrotis
segetum
(Schiff. et Den.),
A. exclamationis
(L.),
Xestia c-nigrum
(L.), and
Discestra trifolii
(L.).
