HELPFUL INSECTS IN AGRICULTURE

Brojne štetočinje napadaju poljoprivredne kulture uzrokujući smanjenje uroda i kakvoće poljoprivrednih proizdvoda. U štetočinje se ubrajaju kukci. Osim štetnih, razlikujemo i korisne kukce. Cilj ovoga rada je bio proučavanjem i pregledom literature prikazati korisne kukce u poljoprivredi. Sa sve većom svijesti poljoprivrednih proizvođača o štetnosti sredstava za zaštitu bilja i težnjom da se njihova upotreba smanji, utvrđene su određene vrste kukaca s velikim utjecajem na suzbijanje štetočinja i povećanje prinosa. Stoga se korisni kukci mogu podijeliti na one koji suzbijaju štetne kukce i one koji oprašivanjem povećavaju prinos u biljnoj proizvodnji. U uspješnoj biljnoj proizvodnji je veoma važno spriječiti gubitke od štetočinja i povećati prinos. Zaštitom i očuvanjem prirodne ravnoteže pomažemo i sebi i korisnim kukcima koji su nam od velike važnosti.Numerous pests attack agricultural crops, causing decrease in yield and quality of agricultural produce. Pests are considered insects. Aside from the harmful, we also distinguish useful insects. The aim of this paper was to present useful bugs in agriculture by studying and reviewing the literature. With the increasing awareness of agricultural producers about the harmfulness of plant protection products and the desire to reduce their use, certain types of insects have been identified with great influence on pest control and increase in yields. Therefore, useful insects can be divided into those that suppress harmful insects and those that by increasing pollination increase yield in plant production. In successful plant production, it is very important to prevent pests loss and increase yield. By protecting and preserving the natural balance, we help both ourselves and useful insects that are of great importance to us
