Abstract
The feeding preference of poplar leaf moth Leucoptera sinnuela Rtti. for seven clones of american cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) and euramerican black poplar (Populus x euramericana Dode) in 2001 when its attack was rather intensive, at the base of the intensitsity of leaf dameging and coccon formation. The results of these trials also suggest that the genotypes could be selected that are not considerably preffered by pest.
