Ecologization of Plant Protection
for the Maintenance of Insect and

Pollinator Biodiversity

The book is devoted to the problems of preserving the biodiversity of insects and
pollinators through the use of inoffensive methods of agricultural crops cultivating and
bio-rational means of protecting them from pests and diseases in an ecological crisis. The
results of many years of research on the development of technological processes for
obtaining biological preparations based on secondary metabolites of higher plants and
microorganisms are presented. Their effectiveness in increasing the resistance of
cultivated plants to the influences of abiotic and biotic environmental factors has been
shown. The results of plant extracts testing with biopesticidal activity against insects and
mites-phytophages and as growth regulators of vegetable and cereal crops are presented.
The characteristic features of the interaction of useful fauna organisms and pests of
agricultural crops, as well as the possibility of attracting pollinators through the use of
semiochemicals are described. The mechanisms of microbiological preparations action
and their effectiveness against phytopathogens are revealed. The prospects of biological
preparations introducing for a gentle impact on the environment and beneficial insects,
as well as obtaining safe food products, have been demonstrated.

The book is intended for farmers and beekeepers, and can be used as a teaching aid
in various courses on ecology, biology, plant protection and entomology.
