Abstract

Monitoring of invasive species Halyomorpha halys in the conditions of the Republic of Moldova during the growing seasons of 2019-2020. has shown that phytophagous has settled in a new habitat, inhabits both cultural and ornamental plants, and is able to rapidly increase the population density. It can pose a serious danger to many economically significant crops, - in particular for maize, grapes, Solanaceae. The high level of harmfulness of the stink bug under new conditions necessitates the study of bio-ecological peculiarities as well as searching for efficient autochthonous species of entomophagous to control the number of pests.
