Sažetak
Due to the intensification of agricultural production and abandonment of the field margins across Europe biodiversity is steadily decreasing. To minimize the negative impact of intensive agricultural production, within the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union, agri-environment measures as part of the Rural Development Programme are established. One of the measures to increase biodiversity is the establishment of flower strips, which should provide greater numbers of beneficial insects (pollinators, predators and parasitoids) and thereby increase biodiversity. The aim of this research, which was conducted during 2014 and 2015 at four locations, is by the visual inspections determine the number of visiting pollinators and other beneficial insects on implemented floral strips and compare their number with a typical agricultural landscape. The results show that the implemented flower strips within arable crops have significantly increased the number of pollinators and other fauna in relation to the control plots. Differences between floral strips in numbers of pollinators were determined according to a year of establishment.
