Abstract

In the result of the development of a new methodological process of biological protection of plum from Grapholitha funebrana pest by concomitant using both the pheromone traps for mass male trapping, and the entomophages of Trichogramma embryophagum and Bracon hebetor - for parasitizing the eggs and larvae of the given pest it was succeeded to reduce the damage caused to the plum with about 97.2% (equal to the one obtained on the chemical standard sector - two treatments with insecticides).
