Mites represent one of the most significant groups of pests, causing substantial economic damage in both crop production and livestock farming. In greenhouse conditions, on berry plantations, and during seed storage, these microscopic organisms are capable of rapidly reducing crop productivity, destroying seed material, and triggering the spread of viral infections. For agronomists and farm owners, a deep understanding of the pest's biology and control methods is a critical factor for maintaining production profitability and ensuring high harvest quality.
This collection of materials systematizes practical knowledge on protecting agro-ecosystems from mites and other harmful factors. The reader will find in it modern biological control schemes using entomophages and plant-based preparations, as well as recommendations for comprehensive sanitary preparation of structures, which serves as the basis for preventing infestations. In addition to plant protection methods, the collection includes articles revealing the fundamentals of veterinary parasitology and the specifics of combating pathogens transmitted by insects and mites. The materials will help build a competent strategy for monitoring and curbing the spread of pests at all stages of the agricultural cycle.
