Biological method of plant protection is one of the green economy development directions

Abstract

Abstract The importance of the biological method of plant protection as one of the prospects for the green economic development in Russia and in the world is discussed in the article. The modern directions of the Russian agricultural science development for the transition to environmentally friendly agricultural production are analyzed. The experience of biological preparations and biological agent’s application in Russia and abroad is considered in the historical aspect. A differentiated approach has been proposed for chemical treatments prescribing, carrying them out only in pest proliferation centers, on border land and catching band, which makes it possible to almost halve the pesticides use. The field research results on the study of the spatial distribution of useful entomofauna in irrigated agricultural landscapes are presented, ways of increasing the species diversity and number of beneficial insects (entomophages and parasites) in agrocoenosis due to the redistribution of useful entomocomplex species in agrocoenosis and natural agricultural landscape are shown.
