Abstract
Chard (Beta ntaris var. oda) was used as plant barrier of sugar beet field In order to eliminate the population denisty of different stages of the tortoise beetle Cassea vitiate Vill. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and lowering sugar beet infestation. Results of field trials Indicated significant decrease in insect numbers and increase of sucrose in sugar beet with chard barrier compared with sole sugar beet. Egg, larva and adult populations decreased by 69.2, 81.5, and 53.1%, respectively. At the same time, rate of insect infestation decreased by 18.2% and sucrose content of sugar beet with chard averaged 19.2% compared with 13.1% in sole sugar beet.
