Distribution of Entomopathogens in the Historic-Monumental Park Klemensów near Zamość
Abstract
Using Galleria trap technique of Bedding and Akhurst (1975), a complex of insect-parasitic bacteria, fungi and entomogenous rhabditoid nematodes were found in soil taken samples from the park trees in Klemensów near Zamość (Poland). Such entomopathogens as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Beauveria bassiana, Paecilomyces farinosus and Steinernema feltiae (syn. S. bibionis predominate in most examined soil samples. Wealthy and various complex of entomopathogenous organisms resulting from the optimum habitat conditions prevail in the park, especially connected with polyspecies and secularly tree stand, can not create preferable conditions to develop of insect pest gradations, which could lead to damage of timber stand.
