Abstract

Spatial and temporal distributions of the densities of phytophages and their enemies in cereal agrobiocenoses were studied at the biocenotic level. Foci of increased pest densities were revealed. The total injury to the crops was estimated, specifying the role of each pest species in crop loss. Phytosanitary agro-ecological and agrobiotechnological prevention and control measures are proposed that minimize crop loss and ensure high quality of food crops without toxic effect on the environment.
