FEATURES OF AGROPHARMACOLOGICAL PROTECTION OF CEREAL CROPS IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN UNION REQUIREMENTS
Abstract
The aim of the research is to conduct a comparative assessment of the active ingredients of agro-pharmacological preparations for various purposes in order to develop effective systems for protecting cereal crops from harmful organisms, taking into account EU requirements. Materials and research methods. The research was conducted by studying specialised information resources that describe the characteristics of active substances and plant protection products. Results. During the production process, agrocenoses of cereal crops are exposed to the negative impact of harmful organisms, which can significantly reduce their yield or cause complete plant death. The main representatives of harmful entomofauna are wireworms, turuns, aphids, bedbugs, thrips, sawflies, and cereal flies. Among the diseases, the main ones are smut diseases, root rot, snow mould, leaf septoria, rust species, pyrenophora, and fusarium head blight. Segetal vegetation consists of annual and perennial species that compete with cultivated plants for water, light and nutrients. In the context of Ukraine's transition to EU standards on the use of plant protection products, there is a problem of non-compliance of the active substances used with European requirements. Therefore, it is extremely important to adapt domestic technologies for the agropharmacological protection of cereal crop agrocenoses to EU requirements. It has been established that a significant number of chemical compounds that are permitted and widely used in Ukraine do not meet the requirements that will be imposed on exported grain in the future. This list includes active ingredients in preparations intended for both seed treatment and foliar application during the growing season of cereal crops. Particularly significant is the ban on active substances of the chemical class of neonicotinoids (imidacloprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin) and synthetic pyrethroids (alpha-cypermethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, bifenthrin, gamma-cyhalothrin). However, this is not a critical situation, as the vast majority of chemical compounds are permitted for use in the European Union. Conclusions. Despite the ban on a significant number of active substances in products to be exported outside Ukraine, it is entirely possible to design an effective system for protecting cereal crops from harmful organisms from among those substances that remain permitted for use, which will ensure high yields.
