%X The influence of drip irrigation of 10 European asparagus cultivars on the occurrence of Crioceris duodecimpunctata (L.) and Crioceris asparagi (L.) was studied. We tested 5 German cultivars (¡®Ravel¡¯, ¡®Rambo¡¯, ¡®Rally¡¯, ¡®Ramada¡¯, ¡®Rapsody¡¯), 2 Spanish cv. (¡®Cipres¡¯ and ¡®Plaverd¡¯), 2 Dutch cv. (¡®Backlim¡¯ and ¡®Grolim¡¯) and French cv. ¡®Orane¡¯ in the field conditions. The field experiment was carried out in two consecutive years (2005-2006) at Kruszyn Kraje¨½ski near Bydgoszcz on a sandy soil. Adults and larvae of C. duodecimpunctata (twelvespotted asparagus beetles - T-SAB) and C. asparagi (common asparagus beetles - CAB) reached over 91% of all insects settled on asparagus summer stalks. The German cultivars ¡®Rambo¡¯ and ¡®Rally¡¯ were considerably settled by adults and larvae of T-SAB. The highest number of individuals (adults and larvae) of CAB on the Dutch cv. ¡®Backlim¡¯ were observed. However, German cv. ¡®Rapsody¡¯ were significantly less numerous (both CAB and T-SAB). Moreover Dutch cv. ¡®Backlim¡¯ was more occupied by adults and larvae of CAB in drip irrigation plots than all five tested German cultivars. Also adults and larvae of T-SAB as well as CAB often prefer drip irrigated asparagus summer stalks.
