Bioecological features of coccinellide in the southern Kashkadarya province, Uzbekistan

Abstract

This research was conducted in 2019-2020 in the northern and southern administrative districts of the southern Kashkadarya province of Uzbekistan. This study on the distribution of coccinellides in agrobiocenoses has been conducted at different experimental periods. In the agrobiocenoses of Kashkadarya province, 5 subspecies of coccinellides (Scymninae, Chilocorinae, Coccidulinae, Epilachninae, and Coccinellinae), 8 tribes, and 31 species belonging to 22 genera were found. Experiments have shown that species belonging to the genera Chilocorus (Leach, 1875) are relatively rare species and are not considered specific species for cotton agrocenosis. Coccinella septempunctata was observed as the most common species. The eggs of Coccinella septempunctata were studied separately in this research. Wintering conditions in mountainous areas were also considered and particular attention was paid to the beneficial entomophagous species of coccinellides.
