AB  - The influence of shading on the incidence and development of P.leucotricha was examined at the locality of Belgrade, during 2008 and 2009. Investigation was carried out on two-year old apple nursery trees, cultivar Idared, sensitive to causal agent of apple powdery mildew. The experiment included three variants, two with different conditions of reduced light (24h and 48h shading, with 24h in the natural photoperiod) and the third variant, which included the cultivation of plants in natural photoperiod, without shading. Reduced light conditions were achieved by growing the plants under wooden experimental boxes. The boxes provided minimum differences in air temperature and RH values, inside and outside them. Inoculum was provided from two trees that were close to the experimental boxes, and the infection was carried out by direct application of conidia from infected young shoots and naturally, during growing period. Four assessments were made, three during shading period and one after removal of the experimental boxes. In both. years of investigation, the highest intensity of infection was manifested in the first variant (48h shading, 24h natural photoperiod), (14.0 - 100%), slightly lower in the second (24h shading, 24h natural photoperiod), (12.7 - 93.5%) and the lowest in variant of normal photoperiod, (0.1 - 16.6%). In shading variants, intensity of infection was rapidly increasing from the first to the third assessment, while in the fourth assessment, after the removal of boxes, it significantly decreased. The results of these studies indicate that light intensity significantly affects the appearance and development of P. leucotricha, and that apple powdery mildew develops intensively in the shade environmental conditions.

AB  - In order to compare the efficacy of different formulations of Bromodiolone-based rodenticides against mixed populations of common vole (Microtus arvalis Pall) and striped field mouse (Apodemus agrarius) in alfalfa, the testing was conducted using the standard EPPO method at the locations of Belegiš and Putinci, in summer of 2010. The experimental design consisted of a completely randomized block with four replicates and with the main plot area of 400 m2. The abundance and distribution of small rodents populations at the experimental plots were determined on the basis of appearance and spatial distribution of active holes. The efficacy of different rodenticide formulations was evaluated according to the number of active holes 7, 14, and 28 days after treatment (DAT), using the Henderson- Tilton's formula. The testing was done with the commercially available rodenticide formulations: AB (grain-based baits), RB (ready-to-use baits - pouches) and PT (pellets), containing 0.005% of active ingredient Bromodiolone. The monofactoral analysing of variance did not result in any statistically significant difference in efficacy of rodenticide formulations 7 DAT at the Belegiš locality and 7 and 14 DAT at the Putinci locality. But, the statistically significant difference in efficacy of rodenticide formulations was observed at Belegiš locality on the 14th day of the experiment. Also, at the end of experiment, the efficacy of rodenticide formulations significantly varied at both locations. Nominally, the lowest efficacy of 72.5% was exhibited by AB formulation, while the average efficacy of RB and PT formulations against mixed populations of common vole and striped field mouse in alfalfa was 88.3% and 77.7%, respectively. It is concluded that the use of RB formulation of Bromodiolone-based rodenticides can improve the control of rodent pests in alfalfa.
AB  - Radi poređenja efikasnosti različitih formulacija rodenticida na bazi bromadiolona u suzbijanju mešanih populacija poljske voluharice i poljskog miša u usevu lucerke, prema standardnoj metodi EPPO izvedeni su eksperimenti u proleće 2010. godine na lokalitetima Belegiš i Putinci. Eksperiment je postavljen po potpuno slučajnom blok sistemu, sa četiri ponavljanja i veličinom osnovne parcele od 400 m2. Na osnovu izgleda i prostornog rasporeda aktivnih rupa utvrđena je zastupljenost vrsta sitnih glodara i njihova brojnost na eksperimentalnim parcelama. Efikasnost formulacija rodenticida je ocenjivana prema formuli Henderson & Tilton, na osnovu broja aktivnih rupa, sedam, 14 i 28 dana posle tretmana. Ispitivane su komercijalno dostupne formulacije rodenticida: AB (zrnasti mamak), RB (gotov mamak za upotrebu - kesice) i PT (pelete), sa sadržajem 0,005% aktivne materije bromadiolona. Jednofaktorijalnom analizom varijanse nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između efikasnosti formulacija rodenticida posle sedam dana na lokalitetu Belegiš i posle sedam i 14 dana na lokalitetu Putinci. Na lokalitetu Belegiš, 14-og dana od početka eksperimenta postojala je statistički značajna razlika između efikasnosti formulacija rodenticida. Takođe, i na kraju eksperimenta, efikasnost formulacija rodenticida se statistički značajno razlikovala na oba lokaliteta. AB formulacija rodenticida imala je nominalno najnižu prosečnu efikasnost od 72,5%, dok je prosečna efikasnost RB i PT formulacije bila viša, 88,3%, odnosno 77,7% u suzbijanju mešanih populacija poljske voluharice i poljskog miša u lucerki. Upotrebom RB formulacije rodenticida na bazi bromadiolona moguće je unaprediti program zaštite lucerke od štetnih glodara.

AB  - Apart from some preventive measures advisably taken during construction of storage facilities or at the time of product storage, treatments with chemical rodenticides are the most widely practiced method of controlling commensal rodents. Their control in storage facilities is normally carried out after animal presence has been observed, and treatments from early autumn onwards throughout the season provide the best effect. The aim of this paper is to present the effects of rodent control using baits with less content am chlorofacinon than recommended, to the protection of stored plant products. The experiments were set up using the relevant OEPP/EPPO method. A ready for use (RB) paste bait formulation was used with different contents (0.005% and 0.0075%) of the active ingredient chlorophacinone. Baits were laid in boxes along rodent routes, underneath pallets with sacs and in places where major damage had been observed. Baits for house mouse were placed at a rate of 10-20 g per 1-3 m, while 30-50 g of bait for brown rats were laid at specific points. Daily bait intake was monitored over a period of ten days and the portions were replaced with new ones as needed. Placebo baits were laid in identical boxes for four days before the experiment began. The abundance of house mouse was estimated based on the highest and lowest daily intake of bait divided by the species' daily requirement. Mice presence was monitored over the next 20 days. Rodenticide efficacy was calculated using Abbott's formula. The data in this experiment show that chorophacinone contents of 0.005% and 0.0075% in RB baits had no effect on the palatability and bait efficacy in controlling house mouse and brown rat indoors. The average efficacy of chorophacinone was 87-93% against house mouse and 90-100% against brown rat.
AB  - Pored preventivnih mera koje treba primeniti prilikom izgradnje objekata i skladištenja žitarica (zrna pšenice, kukuruza, ječma) u njima, primena rodenticida predstavlja najzastupljeniju meru suzbijanja komensalnih vrsta glodara. Suzbijanje se izvodi kada se primeti njihovo prisustvo, pri čemu se najbolji efekti postižu početkom i tokom jeseni. Koriste se mamci sa različitim sadržajem hlorofacinona za suzbijanje glodara u različitim sredinama. Zbog toga smo hteli da ispitamo i uporedimo efikasnost mamaka sa sadržajem 0,005% i 0,075% hlorofacinona u skladištima u kojima se žitarice čuvaju u vrećama. Eksperimenti su izvedeni prema metodi OEPP/EPPO. Upotrebljeni su mamci u obliku paste - meki mamak, RB - spreman za upotrebu formulacije. Postavljani su u kutije, na staze, ispod paleta sa vrećama i na mestima gde su primećena najveća oštećenja. Na rastojanju 1-3 m postavljano je 10-20 g mamka za suzbijanje domaćeg miša, odnosno na izabranim mestima 30-50 g mamka za suzbijanje sivog pacova. Tokom deset dana posmatranja, svakodnevno je beležena količina pojedenog mamka i prema potrebi dodavana nova. Neotrovni (placebo) mamci prethodno su izlagani u identičnim kutijama, četiri dana pre početka eksperimenta. Brojnost glodara procenjena je na osnovu najveće i najmanje dnevno pojedene količine mamka podeljene sa dnevnim potrebama za hranom. Prisustvo glodara je praćeno i narednih 20 dana. Efikasnost rodenticida izračunata je prema Abotovoj formuli. Utvrđeno je da sadržaj aktivne supstance hlorofacinona od 0,005% i 0,0075% u mamcima RB formulacije nije značajan za prihvatljivost i efikasnost mamaka primenjenih za suzbijanje domaćeg miša i sivog pacova u skladištima žitarica. Prosečna efikasnost hlorofacinona bila je 87-93% u suzbijanju domaćeg miša i 90-100% u suzbijanju sivog pacova.

AB  - This study was aimed to assess the levels of selected heavy metals and pesticides in soil and plant products from an agricultural area of Belgrade, Serbia and to indicate possible sources and risks of contamination. Soil, vegetable, and fruit samples from the most important agricultural city areas were collected from July to November of 2006. Metal contents were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, whereas pesticide residues were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after extraction performed using solid-phase microextraction technique. Soil characterization based on the determination of selected physical and chemical properties revealed heterogeneous soils belonging to different soil groups. The concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc in soil samples do not exceed the limits established by national and international regulations. Residues of the herbicide atrazine were detected in three soil samples, with levels lower than the relevant limit. The presence of other herbicides, namely prometryn, chloridazon, acetochlor, flurochloridone, and napropamide, was registered in some soil samples as well. Among the insecticides investigated in the soil, fenitrothion and chlorpyrifos were the only ones detected. In most of the investigated vegetable samples from the Obrenovac area, Pb and Cd contents are higher in comparison with the maximum levels, indicating the emission of coal combustion products from local thermal power plants as a possible source of contamination. Residue levels of some herbicides and insecticides (metribuzin, trifluralin, pendimethalin, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, and cypermethrin) determined in tomato, pepper, potato, and onion samples from Slanci, Ova, and Obrenovac areas are even several times higher than the maximum residue levels. Inappropriate use of these plant protection products is considered to be the most probable reason of contamination. Because increased levels of heavy metals and pesticide residues found in plant products could pose a risk to consumers' health, their continual monitoring before product distribution to city markets is indispensable.

The concentrations of lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc in soil samples do not exceed the limits established by national and international regulations. Residues of the herbicide atrazine were detected in three soil samples, with levels lower than the relevant limit. The presence of other herbicides, namely prometryn, chloridazon, acetochlor, flurochloridone, and napropamide, was registered in some soil samples as well. Among the insecticides investigated in the soil, fenitrothion and chlorpyrifos were the only ones detected. In most of the investigated vegetable samples from the Obrenovac area, Pb and Cd contents are higher in comparison with the maximum levels, indicating the emission of coal combustion products from local thermal power plants as a possible source of contamination. Residue levels of some herbicides and insecticides (metribuzin, trifluralin, pendimethalin, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, and cypermethrin) determined in tomato, pepper, potato, and onion samples from Slanci, Ova, and Obrenovac areas are even several times higher than the maximum residue levels. Inappropriate use of these plant protection products is considered to be the most probable reason of contamination. Because increased levels of heavy metals and pesticide residues found in plant products could pose a risk to consumers' health, their continual monitoring before product distribution to city markets is indispensable.",
