Abstract
The aim of the study was to verify whether oil extracts prepared from plants of 22 selected species contained substances reducing feeding of Hylobius abietis beetles in shoots of Pinus sylvestris. Experiments were conduced under laboratory conditions. A statistically significant reduction was shown for the size of damage on pine twigs treated with oil extracts of Lycopersicon esculentum leaves. In contrast, extracts of Papaver rhoeas and Junlans regia leaves increased feeding of large pine weevil beetles.
