Keywords: grass stand, entomocomplex, taxonomic composition, structure, insects, phytophages, species diversity, dominance classes, vegetation of plants, harmful entomofauna.

Abstract

The hemp agrocenosis, due to the morphological and biological characteristics of the plants, is attractive to a diverse entomological fauna and is a kind of biotope that provides the existence of numerous populations of arthropods. Therefore, knowledge of the species composition of insects inhabiting the grass stand of hemp field is now acquiring particular relevance. This is necessary to solve the problem of developing effective environmentally-oriented protection of culture in modern conditions. The aim of the research is to clarify the taxonomic composition of the entomocomplex of hemp agrocenosis in the Left Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The task involves studying species diversity, the number of general and harmful insect during the growing season of crop plants and identifying dominant species. The study was carried out according to generally accepted methods in entomology during the growing seasons 2019– 2021 in the field conditions in the scientific and experimental base of the Institute of Agriculture of the North-East of NAAS. It has been established that the current entomocomplex of the grass stand of hemp field in the northeastern part of the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine includes 174 species belonging to 76 families and 9 orders. In terms of species diversity and number of individuals, the order Coleoptera prevailed (56 species from 16 families and 74.6 % of the number of insects caught). Were also detected insects from the orders Hymenoptera (31 species from 15 families), Hemiptera (30 species from 11 families), Diptera (20 species from 12 families), Homoptera (17 species from 8 families), Lepidoptera (12 species from 8 families), Orthoptera (4 species from 3 families), Neuroptera (3 species from 2 families), Thysanoptera (one species) were also found. The phytophages of hemp plants were 39 species of insects from 22 families and 6 orders. The structure of dominance is represented by one eudominant (Psylliodes attenuata (Koch) – 81.1 %), one subdominant (Mordellistena parvula (Gyll.) – 4.72%), four recurrents (Lygus pratensis (L.), L. rugulipennis (Popp.), Lygocoris pabulinus (L.), Stictocephala bisonia (Kopp & Yonke) – 8.6 %) and 33 subrecurrents (5.58 %). The research made it possible to clarify the taxonomic composition of the entomofauna of the hemp agrocenosis, to identify phytophages insects and their dominance. The results obtained are used in solving problems of reducing the harmfulness of insects during the growing season of hemp plants and developing a modern environmentally-oriented system for controlling their numbers to a level not exceeding the FES.
