The Application of Entomophagous and Acariphagous Species in Biological Protection Systems of an Apple Orchard (Malus domestica Borkh)

The systematic and long-term use of pesticides in fruit plantations leads to the formation resistant pest populations. purpose this work was evaluate effectiveness entomophages acariphages for protection apple orchards. Against dominant Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus), Habrobracon hebetor (Say) used, which caught Krasnodar Territory using cassettes with caterpillars attractive H. hebetor. To determine most genetically high-quality population, an RAPD analysis carried out from three Russian (Krasnodar, Stavropol, Belgorod) one Kazakh (Shymkent) populations hebetor, revealed a high level DNA polymorphism genetic diversity studied geographical cities Stavropol. efficiency captured population against C. about 75%. regulate number aphids Aphis pomi De Geer Tetraneura caerulescens (Pass.), breeding reserves aphidophages Harmonia axyridis Pallas, Leis dimidiata Fabr., Cycloneda sangvinea L., Aphidius colemani Vier. were established. biological developed technique 82.8–88.6%. release Amblyseius andersoni (Chant) Metaseiulus occidentalis (Nesb.) on tree showed 80 90% Tetranychus urticae Koch Panonychus ulmi (Koch). study possibility simultaneous insecticides, experiments sensitivity axiridis insecticides. When cocoons treated Insegar® Atabron®, ectoparasitoid emergence values 98.4% 100%, respectively. survival adult Madex twin®, Koragen® fifth day 97.3%, 89.6%, 81.9%, Based data obtained, it can be argued that is possible create favorable conditions entomophages, effectively numbers
