Main research topics:

Biological control (fundamental and practical aspects)
1) Investigation of the prevalence of functional biodiversity (entomophages, parasitoids, acarophages, entomopathogenic fungi, bacteria, baculoviruses) in agrocenoses; 2) Optimization of biological plant protection methods and development of new biological plant protection preparations to limit the multiplication of the most important agricultural and forestry pests; 3) Isolation of new isolates of virulent entomopathogenic microorganisms, determination of their properties; 4) Development of environmentally friendly phytopreparations (insecticidal and fungicidal properties of various plant extracts, including conifers, as well as plant growth stimulating effects have been studied).

Studies on the prevalence and incidence of major plant pests and their natural enemies. Investigation of strawberry-associated phytophagous pests and their natural enemies. Studies on the distribution, biology and natural enemies of horse chestnut stripe. Research on rare and invasive invertebrates.

Plant - pest - parasitoid / predator or microorganism interactions
Investigation of natural enemies of various species of pests (parasitic and predatory arthropods, entomopathogenic microorganisms and viruses). Studies have been performed to elucidate the interaction of various microorganisms and pests at the cell, individual and population level. Based on the results of theoretical research, a methodology for the identification of entomopathogenic microorganisms (baculoviruses, bacteria, fungi) has been developed.

Environmental microbiology and biotechnology
Methods for detecting the presence of entomopathogenic viruses and fungi in the environment have been developed and tested. Approved methodology for soil health and quality assessment in urban environment by determining the biomass of microorganisms, the total number of microorganisms and the predominant species of microorganisms. Mastered and optimized methods for testing antimicrobial properties of nanoparticles and biotextiles.

Experience, competence and services:

  • selection and multiplication of biological agents (bacteria, fungi, insect viruses, acarophages and entomophagous organisms);
  • evaluation of the effectiveness and suitability of environmentally friendly plant protection products for use in plant protection;
  • evaluation of biological properties (fungicidal, insecticidal and bactericidal activity) of compounds produced by plants, plant extracts, phytopreparations and other products used in plant protection;
  • biological and microbiological quality assessment of various substrates (soil, peat, sapropel, humus, compost, wood by-products, textiles) and products (food, cosmetics, textiles, etc.).
  • Determination of biodegradation and resistance of biotextiles.

Methods and equipment for our services:

The laboratory is equipped with the necessary equipment for long-term vegetation testing, insect culture maintenance and bioassays. Traditional microbiological methods (isolation and propagation of microorganisms) using standard, modified and selective media, biochemical identification of microorganisms, soil biochemical testing (respiration, microorganism biomass, enzymatic activity, etc.), soil (water) toxicity assessment using germination test, FaxJaz
