In the latitude of Kiev, 80% of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande 1895) population was caught on the colour traps from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in summer and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in winter. Meanwhile, 10% of the population did not react to the colour traps at all (''passive'' individuals), whereas for 20% of the population it was impossible to determine the clear colour with attractive properties. The thrips attracted with blue and yellow color traps, had more massive and variable body parts to be connected with their flight. Their antennae and segment sizes were significantly smaller than compared to the control variant, which could be explained by eyesight domination over other organs of sensory orientation. The indices of heterogeneity of morphological features can be used as evaluation criteria for the adaptive variability and stability of the thrips population.

Вступ. У хворих на цукровий діабет (ЦД), ускладнений некротично-запальним ураженням стопи (НЗУС), складна анатомічна будова стопи в поєднанні з тяжким некротично-гнійним процесом без чітких меж ураження не дозволяє досягти радикальності хірургічної санації під час одного хірургічного втручання, тому лікування часто має бути багатоетапним. Матеріали і методи. Здійснена бальна оцінка тяжкості стану 106 хворих на ЦД, ускладнений НЗУС, перед високою ампутацією (ВА) нижньої кінцівки (НК), як першим, другим та подальшими втручаннями. Результати. Встановлено, що стан хворих погіршувався, залежно від етапу, на якому виконували ВАНК. Обговорення. Показання до виконання ВАНК слід встановлювати одразу, а не після численних повторних втручань на стопі на тлі прогресуючого погіршення стану хворого. Висновок. Опрацьована класифікація НЗУС у хворих на ЦД, застосування бальної оцінки тяжкості стану хворих за модифікованою системою APACHE II дозволило визначити прогноз і обґрунтувати тактику лікування. Ключові слова: цукровий діабет; ускладнення; некротично-запальне ураження стопи; хірургічне лікування.

Analyzed the phytosanitary condition of warehouses and silos for storage of grain and grain products. The species composition of the most common pests of grain stocks in different granaries. The results of studies, identified the dominant species.

The research was conducted in 2017–2019 years in the Institute of Plant Protection of The National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine in the Laboratory of entomology and resistance of agricultural crops against pests (Kyiv, Ukraine). The objective of the research is investigation of particular biology features of Harmonia axyridis Pall. in comparison with the main species of coccinellids in typical agrocoenosis. The research methods are the following: laboratory method that means laboratory maintenance of coccinellids; mathematical-statistical method that means statistical processing of the obtained results. The Coccinellidae family (Latreille, 1807) has an important economic value in the human business activities. Most species are predators of aphids, scale insects, thrips, spider mites, leafhoppers, whiteflies, eggs and larvae of other small arthropods. Coccinellids are marked by their high gluttony, polyphagous, fertility. Beetles and larvae of ladybirds play a significant role in the quantity control of pests of agricultural, forest and ornamental plants. Since 2009 researchers in Ukraine have devoted great attention to identification and distribution of invasive species of Asian lady beetle, or Multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harlequin ladybird, Halloween ladybeetle (Harmonia axyridis Pallas, 1773). H. axyridis Pall. is characterized by its wide ecological plasticity, trophic specialization, greater gluttony, fertility and number of generations leading to the gradual displacement of local species of coccinellids. The comparative results of researches of some biology features of H. axyridis Pall. and the most common species of ladybirds are presented. The survival of coccinellids imago during the wintering, in the active period in the absence of feed, their gluttony for different species of aphids is examined. Features of oviposition and duration of various stages of coccinellids development are presented. In the laboratory the Asian lady beetle was marked among other species by the number of its laid eggs, oviposition period, duration of various stages of its development, survival and gluttony

The results of taking into account the species composition of phytophages that winter in leaf litter near the sugar beet plantations in the conditions of the Right-bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine are presented. Among the phytophagous that wintered in the leaf litter and caused harm to the sugar beet crop, beet blisters (Chaetocnema concinna Mrsch.) 3 specimens / m2 and usual beetroot weevil (Asproparthenis (Botynoderes) punctiventris Germ.)) Was found to be 0.13 / m2, and other phytophages and entomophages.
