Abstract

On the territory of Kazakhstan, including in the Almaty region, where the research was conducted, plant agricultural pests were most widespread in corn fields in the Maloshuisk, Zhidelinsky and Pidzhimsky rural districts of the Panfilov district. Of these, there is 1 species in the Pyralidae family, 3 species in the Elateridae family, and 1 species in the Tenebrionidae family. Currently, the development of integrated methods of pest control in agriculture is aimed at finding environmentally safe ways to control their numbers. This is due to the fact that the use of chemical insecticides is accompanied by significant environmental pollution, so this problem is relevant in agricultural lands, gardens and nature conservation areas. To combat the number of pests, environmentally friendly products are used, which means timely treatment with biological preparations. Measures to combat corn pests: plowing the land; destruction of weeds in the fields and the collection of plant residues and mowing of weeds in peripheral areas; optimal-fast cleaning of pest-infested corn. On the basis of agrotechnical control measures, it is necessary to destroy large weeds and deeply plow the acreage. As a result of these events, you can get environmentally friendly products. In Kazakhstan, biological control of herbivorous lepidoptera is carried out only at the Kazakh Research Institute for Plant Protection and Quarantine.
