Furthermore, the infested Plants 2023, 12, 3316 2 of 11 plants exhibit abnormal growth and young trees may even completely dry out and thus die [7][8][9]. Some species of aphids, such as Aphis spiraecola Patch, Myzus persicae Sulzer, Brachycaudus persicae Passerini and Rhopalosiphum padi Linnaeus, are vectors in the natural transmission of Plum pox virus (PPV) in a non-persistent manner [10][11][12][13], often causing serious stone fruit economic losses [14].…”

Ecological farming is increasing worldwide, as more and more consumers prefer chemical-free fruits. As a result, ecological farming is becoming increasingly appealing to European farmers, including those in Romania. However, implementing an effective ecological phytosanitary program remains a challenge for farmers due to limited options and a lack of information about their effectiveness. Romania is a major producer of plums and ranks second in the world after China. Aphids are common pests of plum, and some species are vectors of the damaging Plum pox virus, and therefore require special attention regarding their control. Eight ecological products were tested both in the field and laboratory for a duration of three vegetative periods to determine their efficiency in aphid control. The effects of ecological products were compared with five chemical insecticides known to be effective against aphids. Observations were made 24 and 48 h after spraying. Two of the eight ecological products tested were proven to be efficient in aphid control, Ovipron Top and Prev-Am, with a mortality rate over 90%. The results indicate that these two ecological products are comparable in effectiveness to chemical insecticides and could be suitable candidates for both ecological and conventional treatment programs.

The research was carried out for the purpose of a comparative assessment of the use of plums in plant protection against aphids by biological and chemical means in the conditions of the Republic of Tatarstan. The experiments were performed in 2020-2021. The objects of the study were varieties and forms of domestic plum (Prunus domestica L.): early fruit ripening - blue-eyed; medium term - Kazan; mid-late period - selective hybrid 8-4-52. The scheme of the experiment included the following options: control (without treatment), biological preparation Lepidocide, chemical insecticide Iskra M. In 2020-2021. in the control, in Sineokoy and Kazanskaya, average damage to leaves and shoots (25%) of plum aphids was noted, in the hybrid 8-4-52 - severe (31.7%). Four times treatment of trees of the Sineokaya variety with a biological preparation reduced damage by aphids, compared with the control, by 15%, Kazanskaya - by 2.5 ... 15%, hybrid 8-4-52 - by 5.8 ... 6.7%. Double spraying of Sineokaya and Kazanskaya varieties with Iskra M reduced damage by 5.8...15% compared to the control, hybrid 8-4-52 - by 5.8...6.7%. In 2020, on average for varieties, treatment of plants with Lepidocid was slightly (by 1.9%) more effective than treatment with Iskra M. In 2021, biological and chemical preparations showed the same effectiveness in protecting against aphids. The share of influence of factor A (preparations) on the damage of aphids was 40.6%, factor B (varieties) - 3.3%, interactions of factors A and B - 1.8%, factor C (years) - 0.2%, interactions factors A and C - 2.1%, interactions of factors B and C - 34.2%, interactions of factors A, B and C - 9.6%. The use of the biological preparation Lepidocide in the protection of plum plants from aphids will allow the production of biologically safe fruits of the crop in the Republic of Tatarstan.
