STUDY OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF PESTS IN LAVENDER (LAVANDULA L.)

Abstract

Studies of lavender plantations in the surveyed areas showed no plant pests. According to the intensive agriculture in the area, the rich background of pests accumulated over the years due to improper implementation of plant protection measures, expectations were to identify some economically important pests in lavender plantations. The lavender plantations are located in ventilated places on a slope and water drainage occurs. Perhaps the open places where there are air currents, strong sunshine, the angle at which the sun shines on the lavender plants and the lack of moisture are key factors in the lack of enemies in the surveyed areas. The agrotechnical measures applied in the cultivation of the crop also help the good condition of the plants and the absence of enemies. For this reason, it is very important to choose a place to create lavender plantations, and for those available to maintain a high agro background.
