Conceptual approaches to building the Center of stock cultures of hexapods

Abstract

The purpose. To solve the problem of biologization of protection of plants a task raised of building frameworks, ensuring biofactories and biolaboratories with starting entomocultures. For that purpose it was necessary to develop main principles of building pedigree cultures of hexapods, methodological approaches to principles of operation of Centers of stock cultures of hexapods, and to determine the concept and program of reaching that aim. Methods. Theoretical generalization, probes in entomology, analysis, synthesis. Results. The offered concept of Center of stock cultures of hexapods is based on the principles of engineering and industrial entomology. For the first time they define the concepts «industrial entomology» as scientific direction and practical principle of use of entomocultures in industrial conditions for the purpose of deriving commodity output in the form of a part of culture of hexapods or products of their vital activity. The place of Center is determined in the system of protection of plants as intermediate structure between pedigree cultures, which are created and sustained in its content, and stock cultures, which are the part of pedigree cultures and which, in their turn, are taken and become the basis for cultivation of commodity output of biofactories and biolaboratories in farm-productions for protection of plants. They specified: content of biotechnological systems, principles of building stock cultures of hexapods, main principles of building and operation of Center. Conclusions. The offered concept enables to create regional Centers of stock cultures of hexapods for provision with necessary entomocultures of biofactories and biolaboratories of conforming regions of Ukraine, to solve questions of development of some principles of industrial entomology as the basis for operation of biofactories and biolaboratories on production of entomological protective means of plants.
