ABSTRACT
The perspective direction in the biological regulation of insect pest populations is the combined
use of different products of organic origin including fungal biological control agents.
Therefore, the present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of products of natural origin
(Aminogreen 24, Nitrogreen, Foliamin and Naturalis − strain ATCC 74040 of entomopathogenic
fungus Beauveria bassiana) and one synthetic insecticide − standard (deltamethrin
+ thiacloprid), applied alone and in a mixture in the control of Acyrthosiphon
pisum in forage pea. The study was conducted in a field experiment during the period
2017−2020. Infestation by leaf aphids was estimated by calculating the cumulative insect
-days (CID). It was found that the combination of Aminogreen 24 + Naturalis had the
most pronounced decrease in CID among products over the years from 2017 to 2020 and
the average for the period. The greatest, significant reduction in the number of aphids occurred
on day 5 (F8.5 = 15.244; p < 0.033) and day 7 (F8.5 = 33.087; p < 0.037) after treatment.
On the 14th day, the decrease in CID (57.4% decrease) statistically exceeded the Proteus
110 OD standard (55.3% decrease) (F8.5 = 49.841; p < 0.049). Good protection against
A. pisum was also found with Naturalis and Nitrogreen + Naturalis. There was an additive
effect between Naturalis and Aminogreen 24 throughout the entire study period. The ratio
of chlorophyll a (Chl a) to chlorophyll b (Chl b) and the ratio of green pigments (Chl a +
+ Chl b) to carotenoids determined that plants treated with Aminogreen 24 + Naturalis and
Naturalis had the best physiological state. The combination of Aminogreen 24 and Naturalis
gave the largest, significant, increase in stem height, followed by Nitrogreen + Naturalis.
The use of Naturalis, alone and in a combination with Aminogreen 24 and Nitrogreen
can be a successful alternative to conventional chemical control.
