abstract = "Colorado potato beetle has a very high reproductive potential in Serbia due to favorable
climatic conditions and nutrition. Considering that it is an introduced species, the activity of
limiting biotic factors seems negligible. With the time, it developed resistance on commercial
insecticides, and consequently they cease to be used for this purpose. In recent years, not only
in the EU, a strong public pressure has been posed on production of safe food, i.e. food with
no pesticide residues which are harmful and dangerous to human health. For these reasons,
today we examine several alternative routes, such as: the creation of resistant potato varieties
(transgenic potatoes), joint cultivation of potatoes with plants with efficacy to repel or
confuse the potato beetle. A great number of herbal extracts and essential oil has been studied
so far in order to find natural solution that will replace conventional insecticides. In this
study, the possibility to disrupt the attractant properties of potato leaf on Colorado potato
beetles, by application of 95% ethanol solutions of sage essential oil and its fractions (F1-F5)
(0.5% concentration) was examined. Chemical composition of sage essential oil and its five
fractions used in experiment was presented. Tests were conducted at the Adult (female)
Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say in the olfactometer. The experiments were set up in five
replicates, in micro-climatic chamber, with following constant conditions: temperature 27°C
± 1°C, relative humidity 65% ± 5% and the illumination was 9400p cd. Results were
processed by the use of Analysis of variance and Duncan’s test. The most pronounced
disturbance was recorded with application of sage essential oil and the least one was achieved
with application of the fraction one (F1). The obtained results indicate possibility of using
secondary metabolites of Salvia officinalis L. in protection of potato foliage of its major pest
(L. decemlineata).",
