Abstract
The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824) is one of the most important pests of potatoes worldwide.Larvae and adults feed on the leaf mass, causing damage.Controlling the pest is much more difficult because there are no effective chemical protection agents and there is also the problem of resistance development.The aim of the work is to determine the reaction of adult individuals of the Colorado potato beetle to different types of essential oils and the effectiveness of essential oils on adult mortality.In 2022, adult forms were collected at two locations in untreated fields.Attractiveness/repellence was determined using an olfactometer and the efficacy of the essential oils on the adults using IRAC test method 007.The results showed that star anise essential oil has the highest efficacy while basil essential oil has the highest repellence, but there are no significant differences between the essential oils in determining attractiveness or repellence.Considering the problem of Colorado potato beetle resistance to synthetic chemical insecticides, essential oils have good properties and could be an efficient substitute for chemical insecticides.
