| Basic scientific achievements | The possibility of using entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae, S. feltiae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in biological control against the main pests of agricultural crops in Azerbaijan (cotton bollworm, Colorado potato beetle, American American butterfly, cabbage white beetle, etc.) has been explored for the first time in Azerbaijan. The possibility of using these nematodes against the Colorado potato beetle, cotton and rodent, white American butterfly, cabbage butterfly, leaf beetles was studied both in laboratory and in field. The mortality rate of these pests in laboratory ranged from 40 to 90%. Meanwhile, the use of the nematodes S. carpocapsa against the pupae of the cotton bollworm in field led to the death of 40-56% of the pests. It was discovered during 24 and 48 hours exposure of S. feltiae and S. carpocapsae in some insecticides used against the Colorado potato beetle, the survival rate of nematodes was 24.4 - 98.8%. It has been established that under laboratory conditions the entomopathogenic nematode S. feltiae can reproduce in an artificial environment, for example, Pedigree dog food. Based on the study of Colorado potato beetle natural populations, we came to the conclusion that new, Azerbaijani ecotype of the Colorado potato beetle has been found in Azerbaijan within its distribution area. For the first time in Azerbaijan, the larvae of entomopathogenic nematodes belonging to the family Mermithidae and the genus Hexamermis sp. were found in terrestrial insects, namely in the imago of the Colorado potato beetle, which in the future can be a significant biocenotic factor in controlling the abundance and harmfulness of the Colorado potato beetle on the farms of the Azerbaijan Republic. The parasitology situation, the viral invasions spread and their connection with the ecological conditions and health situation of the honeybee habitation in Azerbaijan had been studied. Varroa destructor, Acarapis woodi, Ascosphera apis, American and European foulbrood had been detected by the field diagnostics methods. For the first time in Azerbaijan, the Nosema ceranae (possibly forced out the Nosema apis) with 20% - 46,7% of extensiveness had been diagnosed by the PCR method. For the first time in Azerbaijan, the BQCV (black queen cell virus), the DWV (wing deformation virus), the CBPV (chronic paralysis virus) and iflaviruses (the KBV – Kashmirian virus or the IАPV –Israelian paralysis virus) had been diagnosed by the PCR method. The samples of honey detected: Diazinon in concentration from 0,496 mg/kg to 0,476 mg/kg; HCHs- alpha in concentration from 0,00002 mg/kg to 0,0012 mg/kg; HCB in concentration from 0,00064 mg/kg; tetracycline in doses from 0,009 to 2,00 mg/kg. The samples honey pollution by tetracycline is exceed the permission norms in 3-22 times depending on place of samples collection. Revealed, that the presence of medicines in the permissible doses doesn’t especially influence on the vital activity of bees. The accumulation of insectides in the beehive in most cases doesn’t exceed the permissible concentrations or only traces of them has found. Revealed, that the gradual accumulation of different deleterious factors (inside-of-hive, anthropogenic, climatic) has precede the mass death or flight of bees. The most serious influence factors are the parasites and viruses on the extreme weather conditions background. The flight has detected in the active periods on the apiaries where several viruses, N.cerana, varroa mites are present on the extreme weather conditions background. | |
