THE ROLE OF ENTOMOFAUNA IN THE BIOECOLOGICAL BALANCE OF TOMATO AGROECOSYSTEMS

The role of entomofauna in maintaining the bioecological balance in agrocenoses is scientifically analyzed. The main attention is paid to the biological relationships between beneficial and harmful insects in tomato agroecosystems. The study examined the entomofauna of tomato agrocenoses in the Andijan region, their seasonal changes in numbers, biological diversity, and ecological functions. The article also highlights the possibilities of reducing the use of pesticides by preserving the impact of natural competitors, pollinating insects, bioagents, and entomofauna on the agroecosystem. Ways to increase the effectiveness of entomofauna monitoring using GIS technologies, sensors, and remote monitoring methods are considered. Scientific results are important in maintaining the bioecological balance, increasing the sustainability of the agroecosystem, and ensuring environmental safety.
