Abstract

In 2020, the mass development of the invasive species Pistia stratiotes occurred in the water bodies of the left-bank floodplain of the Dnieper River downstream Kyiv, the biomass reached 10 kg/m2. In 2021, in the same water bodies its biomass was significantly lower and amounted to 6-15% of the last year's, at this most specimens were damaged by the waterlily aphid Rhophalosiphum nymphaea. They looked supressed and had the yellowed leaves. The invasion intensity reached some hundred aphids per a Pistia specimen. The extensity of infestation was uneven: from 100% to 20% in the least affected clusters. On the whole, the portion of the damaged plants was about 70% of total numbers. The waterlily aphid is a widespread species in Ukraine and is a natural enemy of Pistia, which can serve as an effective mean of its control.
