Features of stone fruit crop pests development in extreme conditions of Karakalpakstan

The article presents the results of studying the species composition and bioecological features of the development and dynamics of the number of pest species living on stone fruit crop biocenosis in the conditions of Karakalpakstan. The features of species development living on apricot, peach depending on the elements of biotic and abiotic factors are determined. It was revealed that in this agrobiocenosis, individuals emerge from overwintered eggs of mealy plum aphids, peach aphids, and large peach aphids in March and multiply massively until July, causing damage to crops.
