Occurrences of pea aphid and its natural enemies (syrphids, mummies caused by<br />

entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria sp. and by parasitic wasp Aphidius ervi) were compared in<br />

monocultures and mixtures of field peas and spring cereals in three seasons (2008-12; project<br />

NAZV: QH82027). At the beginning of colonization, aphid occurrence was not substantially<br />

influenced by intercropping with cereals. However, the numbers of pea aphids located on<br />

inflorescences started to decline earlier in mixtures compared with monoculture. More syrphids<br />

(eggs + larvae) were found in mixtures than in monoculture, and more syrphid eggs were found<br />

in young aphid colonies (10 – 20 individuals) in mixtures. Intercropping did not influence<br />

occurrence of fungi mummies (Beauveria sp.), but mixtures tended to have more aphid colonies<br />

infested by A. ervi in 2008, 2009 and 2011.<br />
