Abstract
To obtain a good yield of grain crops, including spring wheat, specialists use various techniques to prevent grain losses. One of the factors affecting the yield of spring wheat is the impact of pests. There are about 300 species, but 140 of them are the most significant. Their degree of harmfulness depends on climatic conditions and the phase of vegetation of plants [4]. The main pests of spring wheat are: wheat thrips, meadow moth, bug harmful turtle, bread beetle, dark nutcracker, striped nutcracker, bread bug, common cereal aphid, gray grain scooper and other insects. The following methods of control are used to combat these pests: agrotechnological, biological and chemical [6]. Agrotechnical methods include: observing crop rotation, sowing dates, plowing and weeding the soil on time, timely harvesting of grain crops, cleaning of plant residues from fields. In addition, it is important to use high-quality varieties. Keywords: Spring wheat, agrotechnological methods, silverbeard, pests, sowing dates, varieties.
