PROSPECTS FOR USING PESTICIDES OF “AGROKHIM-XXI” LLC IN ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROTECTING GRAPES FROM HARMFUL ORGANISMS

Abstract

Currently, more than 130 fungicides and 70 insecticides of various foreign and domestic producers, including Agrokhim-XXI LLC, are approved for the use in protecting the vineyards of Russian Federation against plant pests. The assortment of grape plant protection products of this company includes preparations with both well-known and widely used active ingredients – fungicide Minhati, SC (250 g/l flutriafol), insecticide Gladiator, EC (50 g/l lambda-cyhalothrin); and new ones – fungicide Shpaga, SC (160 g/l cyazofamid), insecticide Emamectin, EC (100 g/l emamectin benzoate). In 2024, a study was conducted in the vineyards of Crimea to assess the biological effectiveness of biogenic preparation Emamectin, EC, in order to protect plants from grapevine moth Lobesia botrana Den. et Schiff., the active substance of which is produced by soil actinomycete Streptomices avermitilis MSTD. The level of biological effectiveness of the studied insecticide at application rates of 0.2 l/ha and 0.3 l/ha was 93.3 %. It allowed us to classify the preparation as a highly effective tool for controlling the population level of this economically significant phytophage. Currently, field studies on assessing the biological effectiveness of fungicide Shpaga, SC (160 g/l cyazofamid; 0.5 l/ha) are being conducted in order to recommend it for general application in the practice of protecting grape plants from diseases. Using of the studied preparations produced by Agrokhim-XXI LLC with favorable ecological and ecotoxicological profile can become a viable and essential alternative to the plant protection products already available in the market.
