PREVALENCE OF SUCKING PESTS IN CONDITIONS OF DON REGION

The article provides data on the number of sucking pests in 2022. The research was carried out in the conditions of Novocherkassk branch of the experimental field on the technical varie-ty Cvetochniy. Over the past decade, in the Rostov region, due to changes in climatic con-ditions, as well as with the appearance of a large number of lands overgrown with weeds, sucking pests have moved to grapevine plants. Subsequently, damage by sucking pests leads to a decrease in the yield and quality of grapes. The lack of precipitation in June 2022 and the high temperatures in July are factors that did not favorably affect the prevalence of cicada populations. Chemical treatments with insecti-cides were carried out in a timely manner. The effectiveness of insecticide Kinfos was proved against sucking pests of grapes in vineyards of Rostov region. In order to determine an eco-nomically significant threshold for the number of pest populations and make a decision on protective measures, it is advisable to systemat-ically monitor their prevalence. To predict the development of harmful organisms, it is neces-sary to take into account the meteorological conditions of winter and growing season. Ac-cording to the results of monitoring studies, it was found that in the conditions of 2022, three generations of the roseate cicada and one gen-eration of the humpback buffalo, two genera-tions of the grape thrips developed.
