Experimentaldata obtained showed that the abundance entomofauna (useful and harmful) presented higher values for biologicalcontrol and integrated methods compared to chemical control method. Integrated control, especially chemical, causeda reduction of 4% and 17% in the number of the useful insects compared to the biological control method. The ratiobetween useful and harmful entomofauna recorded in May and June had an average of 1.1, with an upward trend in theuse of biological control method and decreasing for integrated control, especially the chemical. Useful entomofaunarecorded lower values than the harmful for all control methods used, which proves that useful pests are more sensitivethan the harmful ones after application.Key words: methods of pest control, viticulture, useful entomofauna.INTRODUCTIONA full management of viticultural ecosystemcan not be achieved without a reconsiderationof the whole system based on a design thattakes into account both ecological pestknowledge and their destructive potential andcomplex adoption of the most appropriatemeasures for the natural control of the harmfulspecies (Coulon et Sentenac, 2001; Dejeu et al.,2005; Fregona, 2005). Parasites and predatorsof the existing natural background in eachecosystem wine is by far one of the mostimportant natural biotic factors limiting thepopulations of the harmful pests (Perju et al.,1988). Some technological sequences used invineyards, especially treatments of diseases andpests of vines, can influence in an obviousmanner the diversity and numerical abundanceof natural predators populations, with directimplications in maintaining the natural balancewithin the wines ecosystem.Based on these considerations the paper aims topresent the influence of differential methodsof pests and diseases control in vines over theuseful and harmful entomofauna existing in avineyard ecosystem.MATERIALS AND METHODSResearch has been carried out within a vineyardhaving planting distances: 2.0/1.0 m placed intoterraced slope conditions arranged in terraceswide (width 17.2 m, 8 rows of vines). Thebiological material was represented byMerlot/SO4-4 variety.They were experienced 3 differentiated methodto control pests and diseases of the vines,namely:-Chemical control based on the use of contactand systemic insecticides;-Biological control based on the use of ofcopper, sulfur and bioinsecticides;-Integrated control based on the use of lessharmful insecticides, accepted internationallyfor the integrated pest management invineyards to which were added biotechnicalmeans and bioinsecticides.To collect biological material that representsthe useful and harmful entomofauna of the49
