Abstract

The analysis of experiences with chemical preparations such as "Binsegard," "Alfamilin," and "Rimon Star" in protecting mulberry nurseries from the mulberry pyralid, a dangerous pest, has revealed important insights into pest management strategies. By employing a double processing approach with these insecticides during the summer period, with a carefully timed interval of 30-35 days, significant control over the pest population has been achieved. This method has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness, with pest populations being reduced by up to 100% within just 15 days of the initial treatment. Furthermore, the use of these insecticides has resulted in the absence of visible damage to the leaves of mulberry nurseries throughout the remainder of the processing season. This indicates not only the efficacy of the insecticides in controlling the targeted pest but also their safety for the health of the mulberry plants themselves. These findings underscore the importance of timely and appropriate pest management strategies in protecting valuable crops like mulberries. The use of chemical preparations such as "Binsegard," "Alfamilin," and "Rimon Star" can play a crucial role in ensuring the health and productivity of mulberry nurseries, ultimately contributing to the sustainability of mulberry cultivation practices.
