CAN ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES BE THE BEST MEASURE FOR GROWING ECO-FRIENDLY AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS?

Аннотация

Nematodes, which are the subject of this study, are the 3rd most widely used bioagent after Trichogramma and Bacillus thuringiensis for biological control purposes. To collect entomopathogenic nematodes, they are placed in a "White trap". The research was conducted on a potato farm in Surkhandarya, southern region of Uzbekistan. The main tasks were defined as: potato agrobiocenosis of entomopathogenic nematodes determine species composition; reveal the bioecology of entomopathogenic nematodes ; It is to carry out a molecular-genetic analysis of entomopathogenic nematode species identified for the first time in potato agrobiocenoses in the conditions of Uzbekistan. KEYWORDS Uzbekistan, Surkhandarya, entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema spp, Heterorhabditis spp, in vivo, potato.
