Project description |
The project aims to identify, develop and conduct protective measures to demonstrate the effectiveness of entom and akari phages in the fight against plant pests (whitefly, spider mite, Jose scale, aphid and other), causing significant damage to agricultural production. The research results will identify the natural enemies of pests and predators of plants agricultural production in Armenia. They will identify the most effective forms of entom and akari phages of the region with a view to their array of breeding and the development of methods of their use. |
