The economic efficiency of the application of biological methods of plant protection is investigated. The analysis of the state of agriculture and, in particular, crop production in the Turkestan region. The foreign experience of using biological methods of plant protection is studied and the ways of their application in Kazakhstan are determined. The classification of rural areas is made according to indicators characterizing social and economic development, including economic potential. The essence of plant protection methods is determined; calculations of the economic efficiency of the use of bioagents on the sown areas of cotton in the Maktaaral district of Turkestan region; the foreign experience of applying biological methods of plant protection was studied and the ways of its implementation in Kazakhstan were examined; calculation of the need for biological laboratories, the results of the study are generalized. The authors substantiated the effeciency of the application of biological methods of plant protection. In many agricultural formations of the Turkestan region, drip irrigation systems are used. As it is known, in this case, with higher air humidity in the region of the trunk and near the leaf surface, the effeciency of the use of biological products becomes higher, since in conditions of high humidity, bacteria and fungi, which are the basis of the active substance, are more productive and virulent.
