Zaburzenia procesu kwitnienia i owocowania Aesculus hippocastanum L. jako efekt żerowania Cameraria ohridella Deschka and Dimić

The paper presents the study on the impact of Cameraria ohridella on the percentage of leaf blade surface infested by insects, the number of functionally male and female flowers, as well as the germination energy of seeds. The research results show that the area of damage to the leaf may not affect the number of flowers, but it causes a decrease in the number of functionally female flowers as well as a decrease in fruit number and weight. Adhesive tapes with pheromone trap could help prevent greater leaf damage and lessened the disruption of the flowering and fructification processes.
