Research and Control of Helicoverpa armigera in Russia

Helicoverpa armigera is a major omnivorous pest in the world’s agricultural production. It seriously harms agricultural production in the Yellow River Basin, Yangtze River Basin and northwest regions of our country. In the agricultural production of the southwestern Russian Federal District and the North Caucasus Federal District, Helicoverpa armigera is also one of the important crop pests.This article introduced the distribution, occurrence law, host and harm caused by this pest in Russia, and reviewed the research of Russian agricultural scientific research institutions and scholars on the control methods of Helicoverpa armigera including chemical control methods, biological control methods and agricultural technical measures. These research results can be used as a scientific reference for plant protection workers to develop comprehensive prevention and control technologies for Helicoverpa armigera that combine insect monitoring and chemical and biological control.
