Abstract

Loss of crop production under the influence of various types of agricultural pests occurs at all stages of plant cultivation. Their damage ranges from 25 to 50%, from sowing or planting seeds to processing or direct consumption.

An important issue for the Almaty region was the fight against agrocenoses with a dangerous pest of apple trees – an apple moth (Hyponomeuta malinella) of the bud moth family (Yponomeutidae).

Currently, entomopathogenic bacteria are widely used in the fight against pests and plant diseases. Among them, the most common are spore-forming crystalline facultative entomopathogenic rods of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) group. Preparations made on their basis: dendrobacillin, entobacterin, gomelin, lepidocide and etc. They do not have a specific smell, are not dangerous for warm-blooded animals and do not harm plants.
