Abstract

The studies were conducted to analyze the variation in species diversity and the dynamics of aphid numbers within one agrocenosis under different weather conditions. Monitoring of the species composition and number of aphids was carried out using a Malaise trap in VIZR experimental field (Pushkinsky district of St. Petersburg) during 2021-2023 growing seasons. During this period, 34 species of phytophages were identified, of which 20 are pests of agricultural crops, including 9 species in 2021, 11 species in 2022, and 27 species in 2023. The smallest number of individuals in the trap was noted in 2021 (36 pcs.), in 2022 and 2023 it was approximately the same (97 and 101 pcs., respectively). The highest number of insect species and individuals per trap was identified in 2023, which was a consequence of the favorable interaction of abiotic and biotic factors. In 2021, dendrophilous aphids predominated in the traps, among which the European birch aphid was the largest. In 2022-2023 the cereal aphids prevailed. There were also many dendrophilous aphids and aphids feeding on legumes. The gray pigweed-cereal aphid and the large cereal aphid were found in significant quantities. Among the aphid species registered in 2023, 14 had not been found in the previous two years, including such agricultural pests as the common potato aphid, green apple aphid, green rose aphid, warty aphid and hawthorn shoot aphid. Eight species were inhabitants of non-agricultural trees and shrubs, five species were weeds. The marsh grass (Sipha glicerianae Kalt.) and orange grass (Atheroides serrulatus H.) aphids were identified in VIZR experimental field for the first time in years of research.
