Abstract
Twelve species of lacewings: Chrysopa altaica, Ch. commata, Ch. perplexa, Ch. phyllochroma, Ch. dasyptera, Ch. carnea, Ch. formosa, Ch. intima, Ch. perla, Ch. prasina, Ch. septempunctata, and Nineta inpunctata were found in cereal agroecosystems of the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia. The dominant species were Ch. carnea and Ch. phyllochroma. The biological characteristics, seasonal dynamics of the abundance of lacewings in the agrocenoses of winter rye, spring wheat, and oats are given. The abundance of larval and adult lacewings in the spring wheat agrocenosis was not affected by the level of chemicalization (upon condition of the rational use of insecticides), tillage variant, and predecessor crop. In the years when the density of lacewings was low, no differences in their population were found between the agrocenoses of wheat (after fallow), winter rye, oats, vetch-oats, canola, barley, and barley with melilot. In the years characterized by relatively high abundance of lacewings, they occurred more frequently in the crop rotations with wheat after fallow and with oats. These plants were settled by cereal aphids to the greatest extent. In all the years studied, the density of lacewings on alfalfa was 2–2.8 times as great as that on wheat after fallow.
