Abstract

Green plantings have significant ecological and aesthetic importance. However, harmful organisms negatively impact the overall condition of urban green spaces. They weaken trees and shrubs and can eventually lead to their death. Controlling these pests is often difficult due to insufficient knowledge of their species composition and biology in new habitats.

This article describes the forest pathological condition and provides data on the dominant pest species affecting green plantings in the cities of Almaty, Shymkent, Taraz, and Kyzylorda, including their population levels and harmfulness.
As a result of surveys, more than 30 pest species have been identified.

The most dangerous among them are invasive pests such as the oak leafminer sawfly (Profenusa pygmaea Klug), the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys Stål), the horse-chestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella), the elm zigzag sawfly (Aproceros leucopoda Takeuchi, 1939) and the poplar leafminer sawfly (Fenusella hortulana Klug). Also recorded were the cypress jewel beetle (Lamprodila festiva (L.)), leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), leafrollers (Tortricidae), inchworms (Geometridae), silk moths (Bombyx), and the redheaded pine sawfly (Acantholyda erythrocephala Linnaeus).
