Abstracts

EN

In 2012-2013 a series of laboratory and field experiments were carried out to check out, if beers can be used as olfactory attractants in the fight against harmful slugs Arion lusitanicus. Six brands of lager beer were used for olfactory analysis (Goolman Premium, Harnas Jasne Pełne, Tatra Mocne, Kasztelan Niepasteryzowane, Lezajsk Niepasteryzowane, Wojak Jasny Pelny). During laboratory and field tests it was evidenced that beers of all types were more attractive for slugs than water.

W latach 2012-2013 w warunkach laboratoryjnych i polowych przeprowadzono cykl eksperymentów mających na celu sprawdzenie, czy piwo stanowi atraktant, mogący znaleźć zastosowanie w walce ze szkodliwym ślimakiem z gatunku Arion lusitanicus Mab. W badaniach preferencji węchowych wykorzystano sześć piw typu lager (Goolman Premium, Harnaś Jasne Pełne, Tatra Mocne, Kasztelan Niepasteryzowane, Leżajsk Niepasteryzowane, Wojak Jasny Pełny). Zarówno podczas testów laboratoryjnych, jak i terenowych wykazano, że dla osobników A. lusitanicus piwa wszystkich badanych marek okazały się bardziej atrakcyjne od wody.
