Abstract

Madagaskarski zimzelen je vrlo važna hortikulturna farmaceutska biljna vrsta poznata još iz
davne povijest. Sadrži veliki broj alkaloida, a različiti se biljni dijelovi ove vrste koriste za
liječenje širokog spektra bolesti diljem svijeta. Najbolje djelovanje pokazuju u liječenju
dijabetesa, groznice, malarije, tumora i želučanih bolesti. U uzgoju madagaskarskog zimzelena
pojavljuju se i brojni štetnici kao što su lisne i štitaste uši, štitasti moljci, grinje i pipe. Tijekom
uzgoja madagaskarskog zimzelena osim navedenih štetnih vrsta, moguća je i pojava korisnih
vrsta kao što su božje ovčice, pčele te osolike muhe. Prilikom provođenja istraživanja
entomofauna je praćena vizualnim pregledom biljaka kao i postavljanjem i pregledavanjem
plavih i žutih ljepljivih ploča. Najveći broj zabilježene štetne faune pripada redu Diptera, a
najmanje redu Lepidoptera. Od korisne entomofaune najveći broj zabilježenih vrsta pripada
porodici Syrphidae. Cilj rada je utvrditi korisnu i štetnu faunu člankonožaca u nasadu
madagaskarskog zimzelena i visinu njihove populacije.

Abstract (english)

Madagascar periwinkle is very important horticulture and pharmaceutical plant known from
ancient history. It contains many alkaloids and different plant parts are used to treat a wide
range of diseases around the world. They show the best effect for the treatment of diabetes,
fever, malaria, tumours and stomach diseases. In the cultivation of madagascar periwinkle
there can also be numerous pests such as aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, and mites. During
the cultivation in addition to the listed harmful species, there are also beneficial species such
as ladybugs, bees, and hoverflies. During the research, the population of arthropods was
monitored by a visual inspection of the plants as well as by placing and inspecting the yellow
and blue stickey traps. Out of the useful population, the largest number of recorded species
belongs to the order Diptera, and the least to the order Lepidoptera. Of the useful population,
the largest number recorded species belongs to the family Syrphidae. The aim of the work is
to determine the beneficial and harmful population of arthropods in the cultivation of the
Madagascar periwinkle and the height of their population.
