Developing an integrated plan of harvest protection as a tool of improving food supply security in Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

The article shows that apricot plants in the South of Kyrgyzstan are wide spread in the Batken Region. This region is favorable for growing apricots sold both in the domestic and in the foreign markets. It is here where they cultivate many varieties of apricots which are subsequently exported in dried form to CIS and non-CIS states. Heat-resistant and drought-resistant rare varieties of apricots are cultivated in the Batken Region, such as: Kandak, Mirsanjeli, Khurmai, Subkhoni, Babai, Akhrori, Arzami, Isfarak, Kursadyk, Ak Uriuk (Sovetskiy). 22 species of insect pests of apricot plants were found; they are conveniently classified into five orders. The dominant pests of apricot plants are as follows: Apricot seed wasps (Eurytoma samsonovi Vass.), plum seed wasps (Eurytoma schreineri Schr.), apricot snout-beetle (Rhynchites auratus ferghanensis News.), gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.), casebearer (Coleophora hemerobiolla Fil.), European leaf roller (Archips rosana L.), acacia lecanium-(Parthenolecanium corni Bouche). The most common apricot diseases in the climate of the Batken Region of Kyrgyzstan are shot-hole disease (Clasterosporium carpophilum Aderh.), frostly pod rot (Monilia cinerea Bon.), bacterial blight (Gummi.), verticillium wilt (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.), twig die-back (Cytospora arphosperma Fr.).
