Bioecology, Development, Occurrence in Mountain Area, Natural Predators and Balance Formation of Apple Ermine (Hyponomeuta Malinella)

We started our research by studying the bioecology of the pest. Mountain moths belong to the Hyponomeytidae family. Apple ermine is found in the mountainous and mountainous regions of Central Asia. The pest phase is maggots, which feed on the developing buds and leaves of the apple. Heavily infected trees will not produce or produce less, even in the next year. The growth of damaged trees slows down. This moth hibernates under shields on tree trunks and branches during its first-year larval stage. When the temperature is 12–14 °C, that is, by the time the shoots begin to be written, the worms first leave the places where they were born, drop the shield and start feeding. Worms damage the buds and leaves of the plant, forming mines in them. Later, the caterpillars emerge from the mines and feed on the young leaves under the protection of dark spiders. In our research, we studied the bioecology of apple ermine and the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on its development.
