Abstract
In orden to investigate the presence aof aphid species in apple research was conducted during the yeaers of 2018 and 2019 on apple plantations in two locations in Kosovo (Prishtinë and Klinë). The experimental patern was according to randomized blocks method in three repetitions. At each repetition 100 shoots from apple cultivars were monitored all the time with ten day intervals, starting from the beginning of April, from where the aphids were taken. Insects collected were brought to the laboratory of the phytosanitary corporation "Sara & Meti" in Pristina to identify and describe the aphid species. During of these researches we have identified these aphid species: Aphis pomi, Dysaphis plantaginea, Aphis sipraecola Eriosoma lanigerum. Refering to the ANOVA and the LSD test, statistically significant differences by localities, cultivars and pests were found. Measures concerning plant protection should be incorporated in IPM programs where priority must be addressed to other measures like planting tolerant cultivars, healthy seedlings, regular agrotechnical and pomotechnical measures, etc. and as a last alternative the use of insecticides.
