Biological protection of black currant from phytophages
Protecting fruits from tick damage can lead to increased productivity of agricultural products and the production of healthy products. Using biological protection methods against ticks, which are considered organic and healthy methods, is presented in this article. For this purpose, in the studies conducted in 2020-2022, data were collected on three types of plant mites on fruit trees in Kazakhstan. In a number of host trees, branches with swollen buds and no leaves were observed. For the purpose of definitive diagnosis, the buds were separated, and the mites were directly isolated. The samples were stored in clarifying solutions and prepared as microscopic slides, and their diagnosis was carried out with the help of new scientific resources. The results showed that the mentioned mite belongs to the phytophages family. Then, using biological protection and fungal and bacterial biocontrol, the method of pest control of blackberries from this mite was investigated. These mites can be separated from blackberries within a period of one month, leading to biological protection of this fruit in subsequent years.
