Cultivated area of cereal crops in Belarus is up to 35 %. As many as 61 seed dressers and 100 fungicides are used for protection of cereals against a number of diseases in the country. Eleven chemical groups of fungicides are exploited in Belarus: phenylamides, methyl benzimidazole carbamates, aryl-phenyl-ketones, SDHI, QoI, anilino-pyrimidines, azanaphthalenes, phenylpyrroles, DMI, amines (morpholines), dithiocarbamates. Their classification and modes of actions are the clue to choose suitable active ingredients according to the current phytopathological situation, weather conditions etc. Classification of fungicides is given based upon chemical structure, target sites, mobility within the plants and action on fungal development inside the plant tissue.

“…Nesidiocoris tenuis is widely distributed in the Palaearctic and Mediterranean regions (Kerzhner and Josifov 1999, Sanchez et al 2009). In many countries, this species has recently been used as a biological control agent in agro-ecosystems in order to control major greenhouses insect pests such as whiteflies and Tuta absoluta (Calvo et al 2012, Urbaneja-Bernat et al 2013, Pérez-Hedo and Urbaneja2016, Kandori et al 2022). The commercial use of N. tenuis in China started in recent years (Li et al 2022).…”

Mirid predators are increasingly used in biological control of multiple greenhouse crops pests. However, due to great morphological similarity and tiny body size, some mirid predators have been largely confused with their allied species. Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter as a commercial mirid predator was confused largely with Nesidiocoris poppiusi Carvalho in China. To evaluate the biocontrol potential of N. poppiusi, its biological traits and the functional response to Bemisia tabaci Gennadius were studied compared with N. tenuis under laboratory conditions. The results showed that no significant differences of the developmental times from the first instar to adult stages between the 2 mirids fed on Corcyra cephalonica Stainton eggs were observed, while N. poppiusi had better population growth parameters than N. tenuis. Under the condition with prey, both female and male of N. poppiusi lived significantly longer than those of N. tenuis. It could lay 74.0 eggs, which was significantly higher than that of N. tenuis (30.2 eggs). Under the condition without prey, both N. poppiusi and N. tenuis couldn't complete development to adulthood on tomato, tobacco, muskmelon, and cabbage leaves, however, tobacco and tomato were more suitable than the other 2 plants. A type II functional response was observed for both males and females of the 2 predators. Nesidiocoris poppiusi females consumed significantly more B. tabaci pupae than N. tenuis when prey densities were large than 30. Our results indicated that N. poppiusi could be a promising candidate for biological control of B. tabaci.

Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera, Miridae) is a predatory bug which is widely used in biocontrol. This bug can consume both plant and animal matter. In the present paper, three alternative diets were evaluated in mass rearing of nymphs of N tenuis maintained in cages on tobacco plants: eggs of the grain moth Sitotroga cerealella, cysts of Artemia salina, and bee-collected pollen. Adults of N tenuis were fed a mixture of grain moth eggs and pollen during oviposition. The type of diet did not effect the survival of nymph. Output of adults was higher when nymphs were fed grain moth eggs than Artemia cysts while the body weight of adult bugs did not differ.
