Abstract
The species composition of aphids on plum
trees (Prunus domestica) in three localities of Kosovo (Prishtinë, Obiliq,
and Drenas) was investigated during the period 2021-2022. The experimental work
was conducted via Fisher randomized Blocks Design in three repetitions. Five aphid
species were identified: leaf curling plum aphid (Brachycaudus
helichrysi Kaltenbach), Black peach aphid (Brachycaudus
persicae Passerini), Mealy plum aphid (Hyalopterus pruni Geoffroy),
Green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer), and Hop
aphid (Phorodon humuli Schrank). The most widespread and
significantly high population density aphid species was B. helichrysi
which represents a serious threat to plum production in Kosova. The rest of the
species occur far less and in low density, thus being of no great importance as
pests in plum orchards.
