Abstract

The development of sustainable agriculture in Turkmenistan involves implementing water- and resource-saving technologies, digital mapping of agrochemical soil conditions, and introducing resistant high-yield winter wheat varieties. A critical component is effective protection from pests, especially the tortoise bug (Eurygaster integriceps), which can cause significant crop losses if not controlled. This study presents results from field research aimed at biological and chemical pest management strategies. A detailed breeding calendar of the tortoise bug was developed and is now actively used by agricultural specialists. The pest's life cycle, feeding behavior, and economic impact are outlined, including quantitative assessments of damage during various wheat growth stages. Effective countermeasures—such as timely harvesting, crop rotation, biological control agents like Trissolcus grandis, and selective pesticide use—are evaluated. Our results confirm that integrated pest management combining entomophages and modern agronomic practices leads to a healthier, more productive crop. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research and wider application of biological controls in Turkmenistan’s agriculture.
