Abstract
This paper defines the types of elm trees pests in the Khorezm province in Uzbekistan, carries out their systematic analysis, and also determines the degree of their occurrence, as well as their natural types of enemies. The main phytophagous pests of elm trees in the Khorezm province belong to 4 genera and 14 species from 8 families. The vast majority of these pest species have been identified as Coleoptera pests. Pests were found to be mainly species that infect the body part of elm trees. In addition, 10 species of wild and parasitic entomophagous species have been identified as natural enemies. These species are phytophagous during the growing season and are important in managing their quantity.
