Preliminary study of predatory insects fauna in ecological infrastructure of Ravni kotari (Croatia) vineyards

One of the most important elements of ecological and integrated grape production are stabile ecolological infrastructures. It is necessary to know which species of beneficial insects are represented in ecological infrastructures in vineyards. Result of a one year preliminary investigation are shown in this paper. During one vegetational season a total of 127 predatory insects belonging to 9 families (Anthocoridae, Cantharidae, Carabidae, Chrysopidae, Coccinellidae, Lygaeidae, Miridae, Nabidae and Syrphidae) were collected at three localities with different production technologies. The highest number of 77 insect individuals belonging to 8 families were collected at Baštica which operates an integrated production technology, probably because the vegetational richness was higher than the other two sites.
