PHEROMONITORING OF THE POPULATION OF DIASPIDIOTUS PERNICIOSUS IN APPLE ORCHARDS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE SOUTH EAST OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

Currently, fruit growing in Kazakhstan is developing rapidly. However, the number of pests that can harm fruit growing is also increasing day by day. Planting material is imported to Kazakhstan from all over the world, as a result of which the number of particularly dangerous quarantine facilities is increasing. One of them is the Californian shield warbler (DIASPIDIOTUS PERNICIOSUS), which is considered a quarantine object in the country. Unfortunately, despite the annual control measures, the number of fruits infected with this pest does not decrease if it does not increase. Therefore, the most effective method is pheromonitoring in order to identify foci of California shield wireworm, determine the dynamics of development and optimize the timing of control measures. The article presents the results of pheromonitoring conducted in order to determine the dynamics of the development of California shield wire in apple orchards in the conditions of the south east of Kazakhstan. According to the results of the study, the dynamics of flight and the effectiveness of pheromonitoring of pest males were determined
