Harmful and beneficial entomofauna in Croatian orchards and vineyards

The fauna investigation in Croatia has a long tradition. Key pests and their enemies in orchards and vineyards were identified as result of our long time investigation. Key pests and their enemies depend on plant, geographic and climatic zones. The main pest in pear orchards in Slavonia is Cacopsylla piry. The main natural enemies that are able to control their population are predatory bugs as: Orius niger, Pilophorus perplexus and Anthocoris nemoralis. The main pests in Croatian apple orchards are Cydia pomonella, Leucoptera malifoliella and Dasineura mali. Natural enemies in apple orchards are bugs like Orius minutus and Anthocoris nemorum. In our olive orchards, Chrysoperla carnea is the dominant beneficial organism. In vineyards, investigation was carried out on side-effects of fungicides on the population of Panonychus ulmi and on predatory mites, such as Typhlodromus pyri.
