SPECIES COMPOSITION OF ENTOMOPHAGES AND ACARIPHAGES OF INDUSTRIAL APPLE PLANTINGS IN CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHT BANK-FOREST STEPPE OF UKRAINE

Research results of studying species composition of entomophage and acariphage fauna and its trophic links with major pests of industrial apple plantings in conditions of the Right-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine are shown. It is found that in agrocenosis of an apple orchard entomophages and acariphages are the class of Arachnids (5,3%) and class of Insects (94,7%). 38 species of beneficial arthropods are found that by systematic division belong to varieties: Hymenoptera (52,6%); Coleoptera (15,8%); Diptera (10,5%), Hemiptera (7,9%); Neuroptera (5,3%); Aсаrina (5,3%) and Mecoptera (2,6%). Saving useful entomophage and acariphage fauna which is based on the determination of species composition, adjustment, population dynamics, trophic links and peculiarities of biology is the basis for environmentally-safe protection systems of an orchard.
