o:3778 ASSESSMENT OF BIOTIC THREATS TO URBAN GREENERY: A CASE STUDY IN STROMOVKA PARK, ČESKÉ BUDEJOVICE PROCENA BIOTIČKE UGROŽENOSTI GRADSKOG ZELENILA: STUDIJA SLUČAJA U PARKU STROMOVKA, ČEŠKE BUDEJOVICE en Urban greenery, consisting of tree lines, parks and park forests, plays an important role in improving the aesthetics and general well-being of the urban environment. This study focuses on Stromovka Park in České Budejovice and examines the health status of various tree species. The research spans the period from 2021 to 2022 and uses the route method to monitor the occurrence of biotic pests and pathogens, especially mites and insects. Several economically important organisms were identified in the study, including Aceria fraxiniflora (Felt, 1906), Byctiscus betulae (Linnaeus, 1758), Curculio glandium Marsham, 1802, Eriophyes inangulis Nalepa, 1919, Fomes fomentarius (L.) Fr. 1849, Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855), Ips typographus (Linnaeus, 1758), Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus, 1758), Loranthus europaeus Jacq., Oxycarenus lavaterae (Fabricius, 1787), Pemphigus spyrothecae Passerini, 1856, Phyllonorycter issikii (Kumata, 1963), Polygraphus poligraphus (Linnaeus, 1758), Prociphilus fraxini (Fabricius, 1777), Rhytisma acerinum Schwein., (1832), Sacchiphantes viridis (Ratzeburg, 1843) and Tetraneura ulmi (Linnaeus, 1758). While most of these organisms showed normal, natural abundance values, increased values were observed in A. fraxiniflora, E. inangulis and O. lavaterae. The application of holistic plant protection principles, from proper cultivation and species selection to monitoring and control measures, remains crucial for maintaining the vitality and longevity of urban green spaces exposed to various biotic and abiotic stress factors.
