ПРОГНОЗИРОВАНИЕ ВРЕДИТЕЛЕЙ САФЛОРА: МЕТОДЫ И МАТЕМАТИЧЕСКИЕ РАСЧЕТЫ

The article examines the main pests of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in Uzbekistan, including the safflower fly (Acanthiophilus heliathi Rossi.), the small safflower weevil (Bangasternus orientalis Cap.), and the sage moth (Chloridae peltigera Shif.). Their biological characteristics, development phenology, and damage potential are presented. The study focuses on forecasting pest populations using biological and mathematical models. Predicting pest numbers allows for the development of effective plant protection measures and minimizes crop losses.
