PHYTOSANITARY MONITORING OF PESTS ON OIL BEARING ROSE (ROSA DAMASCENA MILL.)

Abstract

More than 50 oil-bearing roses farms in 15 villages in five different municipalities of Pazardzhik district were visited. After the phytosanitary monitoring, differences in the surveyed pests entomofauna for the individual villages were established. In the mountains areas of the district due to the registration of slightly lower minimum temperatures, a delay in the multiplication of aphids has been found. The green rose aphid (Macrosiphum rosae L.) is found everywhere in all areas as an adult. The rose agrilus (Agrilus mokrzeckii Obenberger), as an adult, is found in the lowlands, and in the larval stage in the mountains. The hairy beetle (Tropinota hirta Poda), as an adult, was found everywhere except in Bratsigovo and Belovo. The Rhynchites hungaricus Fus. as an adult is found in the lowlands, and in the mountains in Panagyurishte and Strelcha. The Platyptila rhododactylus Fabr. was not found in the surveyed areas.
