Abstract:
In the Republic of Moldova, as in many European countries, wheat is the main food crop. A set of measures should be directed against reducing the density of various types of pests. Natural populations of parasitic and predatory entomophages play a significant positive role in reducing the number of pests. In the climatic conditions of the Republic of Moldova, more than ten species of bugs are found in the winter wheat crop. The most common are three species of the genus. Eurygaster (E. integriceps, E. maura, E. austriaca), and two species of the genus Aelia (Aelia acuminata and Aelia rostrata). Of the aphids, the most common species are Schizaphis graminum Round and Sitobion avenae Fabr.
