ABSTRACT
During the 2008–2009 time period, the effect of phacelia grown with broad bean on the presence of
Syrphidae
in colonies of
Aphis fabae
Scop. as well as the attractiveness of phacelia flowers for syrphid adults was researched. In
A. fabae
colonies, 9
Syrphidae
species were collected. On plots with phacelia, less aphids and more syrphid larvae, compared to the homogenous crop, were observed. The dominant species were:
Episyrphus balteatus, Shaerophoria scipta
,
Syrphus ribesii
and
Epistrophe eligans
. Among the 9 species
of
Syrphidae
collected from tansy phacelia flowers, the same species dominated as those noted in
A. fabae
colonies on broad beans
intercropped with phacelia.
Sowing plants of value to
Syrphidae,
such as phacelia, is probably the ideal habitat management option for early occurrence of syrphids. Such a practice result in the reduction in crop damage by aphids.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The authors have declared that no conflict of interests exist.
