Abstract
The aim of the study was to verify whether methanolic extracts prepared from plants of 26 selected species contained substances reducing feeding of Hylobius abietis beetles on shoots of Pinus sylvestris. Experiments were conduced under laboratory conditions. A statistically significant reduction in the size of damage was recorded on pine twigs treated with methanol extracts of leaves of Trifolium repens, Lupinus polyphyllus, Robinia pseudoacacia, Tanacetum vulgare, Nicotiana tabacum, Sambucus nigra, Convallaria majalis and Lycopersicon esculentum. Probably the strongest antifeedants were methanolic extracts of leaves of Lupinus polyphyllus, Robinia pseudoacacia and Convallaria majalis.
