| Abstract | The effect of herbivorous insects on a plant community of high productivity was investigated in an experiment established in 1998 in Central Germany. Aboveground insects were reduced from plots by spraying a solution of Perfekthion (BASF, 40% dimethoate; 0-36-0.54 ml diluted in 130-170 ml water) every 14 days. Belowground insects were reduced by watering the plots with 1 litre suspension of Hortex (Celaflor, 2% chlorpyrifos; 50 g/litre) every 4 weeks. The controls were treated with water only. Cover abundance of the vegetation was enhanced by reducing hervivorous insects, the increase being greater in the aboveground treatment than in the belowground treatment. A total of 58 angiosperm species were recorded. The accumulated number of species recorded during the year was not influenced by insecticide treatments, and the species richness was enhanced only in the aboveground treatment. The vegetation was dominated by annual herbs and perennial herb Cirsium arvense. The most dominant species was Chenopodium album. Analysis of single plant species suggested idiosyncratic responses of species to insecticide treatments. The effects, however, were not significant. |
