Research on invasive insect complexes in soybean crop in the environmental conditions of the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

Under the conditions of the Republic of Moldova, geographically located in an area with unstable conditions in terms of temperatures and precipitation, often affected by droughts, it is more effective to cultivate some species of food cultures of the family Fabaceae in accordance with their bioecological requirements and response to such factors as heat, lack of precipitation and attacks of invasives pest and. Based on the actuality of the topic and the goal set by us, we have established the following objective for the research: making records of biological and phytosanitary control establishing the degree of phytosanitary impact, highlighting the response reactions and the most invasive species of pests in the studied crop species. Soybean cultivation holds significant agri-food, fodder, and industrial value for the Republic of Moldova. Its economic potential can be fully realized by promoting key activities aimed at improving crop quality and maximizing the yields of grains and pods. However, soybean crops are annually threatened by invasive insect species, highlighting the need for thorough research into the impact of certain highly damaging pests.
