Agricultural importance of Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera), distributed in sugar beet agroecosystems of sugar beet

In 2013-2018, the spread of 11 species (Anisoplia austriaca (Herbst, 1783), A. segetum (Herbst, 1783) = Chaetopteroplia segetum (Herbst, 1783), Amphimallon solstitiale (L., 1758), Cetonia aurata (L., 1758), Epicometis hirta (Poda, 1761) = Tropinota hirta (Poda, 1761), Melolontha melolontha (L., 1758), Miltotrogus aequinoctialis (Herbst, 1790), Oxythyrea funesta (Poda, 1761), Pentodon idiota (Herbst, 1789), Polyphylla olivieri (Castelnau, 1840), Rhizotrogus aestivus (Olivier, 1789)) belonging to 10 genera (Amphimallon Latreille, 1825, Anisoplia Schönherr, 1817, Cetonia Fabricius, 1775, Melolontha Fabricius, 1775, Miltotrogus Reitter, 1902, Oxythyrea Mulsant, 1842, Pentodon Hope, 1837, Polyphylla Harris, 1841, Rhizotrogus Latreille, 1825, Tropinota Mulsant, 1842) of Scarabs (Scarabaeidae) family of Beetles group has been defined in the stationery fields during the studies in the agroecosystems of Aghdash and Imishli which are the main districts of Azerbaijan planting the sugar beet. During the research’s, detailed information has been collected on the spread, growth dynamics and the damaging effect of 11 species in the agroecosystem. It has been defined that although there is no mass increase and sharp damage between the species during the research years, the monitoring about the number and growth of them should be regularly carried out. However, each species can cause serious damage to the farms during mass growth. Therefore, it is essential to carry out the monitoring constantly in the agroecosystem. The results obtained from the research can be used during the preventive measures for the pests.
