Aim of the research
Identification of the chemical structure of insect signaling substances (pheromones, kairomones, etc.);
Development of agrocenoses and agroecosystems with bio-regulated parameters of toxicological load for technologies of environmentally friendly and organic farming;
Development of technologies for mass breeding of phytophagous insects entomophages.
Main research areas
- - Design of self-regulating agroecosystems with a favorable phytosanitary environment and specified productivity parameters for organic farming;
- - Development of innovative methods for preventive activation and reproduction of introduced (artificial) and natural populations of entomophages and acariphages in agroecosystems (development of a natural biolaboratory) ;
- - Assessment of the biodiversity and bioresources of beneficial biota (entomophagous and acariphagous organisms);
- - Development of new biopesticides based on substances of biogenic origin;
- - Development of technologies for mass rearing of phytophagous and entomophagous insects.
