The main pests are insects and diseases of agricultural crops in the south of Kyrgyzstan

In the south of Kyrgyzstan, the largest areas are occupied by agrocenosis of vegetable, fruit, industrial, and grain crops. The article presents the main pests and pathogens of agricultural crops in the south of Kyrgyzstan. The purpose of the research is to identify the dominant pests and diseases of agricultural crops and to find effective biological measures to combat them in the conditions of southern Kyrgyzstan. In recent years, outbreaks of mass reproduction of tomato mining moth ( Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917)) on tomatoes, cherry slimy sawfly ( Caliroa cerasi (Linnaeus, 1758)) and cherry fly ( Rhagoletis cerasi (Linnaeus, 1758)) on cherries and cherries, Colorado potato beetle ( Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), late blight ( Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary) on potatoes, powdery mildew ( Erysiphe cichoracearum f. cucurbitacearum Pot.) on vegetables, corn moth ( Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, 1796), bread beetle ( Zabrus tenebrioides (Goeze, 1777)) and bug ( Eurygaster integriceps Puton, 1881) on cereals, mite ( Tetranychus urticae ), aphid (Aphidoidea) and cotton scooper ( Helicoverpa armigera Hübner) on cotton, phytonomus ( Phytonomus variabilis ) on perennial grasses, winter scooper ( Agrotis segetum (Denis et Schiffermüller) 1775), apple moth ( Carpocapsa pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758)), apple moth ( Hyponomeuta malinellus (Zeller, 1838)), unpaired silkworm ( Lymantria dispar Linnaeus, 1758), curly leaves ( Taphrina deformans (Berk.) Tul.), bacterial burn ( Erwinia amylovora (Burrill, 1882) Winslow et al., 1920), scab ( Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) G. Winter) and powdery mildew on fruit crops, epiphytotic rust diseases (Puccinia) of cereals, oatmeal ( Avena fatua ) and sunflowers ( Barbarea vulgaris ) on cereals. An overview of drugs used in crop protection systems is also given. Chemical pesticides still remain the main means of protecting agricultural crops from pests and diseases, in the future, the use of the latest technologies in plant protection, the introduction of new biological preparations into plant protection practice should be used.
