IMPORTANCE OF BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGAINST APPLE PESTS

Abstract

Harmful and beneficial species are important in maintaining the natural balance. Among insects, there are not only harmful, but also useful species, which feed on plant pests. This creates biological control.One of the pests is aphids, which damage various fruit trees and are considered one of the most adaptable species. These pests can feed on almost all fruit trees. The importance of birds in the protection of orchard trees is considered high. Migratory birds - nightingales, hummingbirds, swallows, long-winged and blue-throated warblers feed on insects throughout their lives. Similar beneficial animals exist among mammals. But they are often killed as harmful.
