PESTS AND DISEASES OF SOME SPECIES OF THE AQAVAСЕАЕ FAMILY IN THE CONDITIONS OF ABSHERON AND CONTROL MEASURES

The article provides data on pests and diseases of some species of the Aqavaceae family in the conditions of Absheron. It was revealed that not only for seedlings, but also for young agaves in general, the worst pests are the pelvic and naked snails. Anthracnose (Anthracnose) causes the greatest harm from fungal diseases, causing the death of infected plants. Thus, the most effective method of controlling these pests and diseases is the correct cultivation and concentration of the applied drugs, as well as the correct choice of preventive drugs. The mechanical method of dealing with naked snails is the most successful. During the flowering of the agave, the red louse damages a group of young flowers. To combat it, infected leaves were cut and burned, the soil was disinfected and reclamation work was carried out. When seedling Cordillera, the best way is to disinfect the soil with carbon disulfide, chloropicrin and hydrogen cyanide. As a result of excessive watering, the roots of the Sansivera rot, and a brown spot (mold) forms on the leaves. Therefore, all damaged leaves are cut off and the cut site is treated with antifungal sulfide. Sansivera should be moved to a brighter place, because with a lack of light, spotted images on the leaves fade, and thus they turn into ordinary green leaves. Leaves infested with mealy aphids or brown winged aphids are cleaned with an old cloth soaked in pure alcohol or simply sprayed with an effective insecticide.
