Methodological aspects related to biological assessment of insectoacaricides on flower cultures of protected ground

Relevance. Analysis of the present range of pesticides that are used in flower orangeries showed critical shortage of allowed pesticides. Now there are no methods for registration testing of insecticides designed to protect flowers in greenhouses. Thus, the purpose of our research is to develop methodological approaches to assessment of abundance of major pests for flower cultures of protected ground and determination of biological effectiveness of new insectoacaricides. Methods. The following phytophages represent flower pests that are predominant in the protected ground: aphids: green peach - Myzus persicae Sulz., melon and cotton - Aphis gossypii Glov., greenhouse-potato - Aulacorthum solani Kalt., potato - Macrosiphum euphorbiae Thom., green rose - Macrosiphum rosae Linn.; whiteflies: greenhouse whitefly - Trialeurodes vaporariorum Wstw., silverleaf whitefly - Bemisia tabaci Genn.; thrips: tobacco - Thrips tabaci Lind., rose -Th. fuscipennis Hal., western flower - Frankliniella occidentalis Perg...
