Abstract
In this study, Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus, 1758) entomopathogenic microorganisms were isolated from damaged insect carcasses in the territory of Tashkent and Fergana regions of Uzbekistan. Insect specimens were selected using the trapping belt method and 30 strains of micromycetes were isolated from these specimens. In morphological and cultural studies, entomopathogenic micromycetes in dead and infected individuals of C. romonella belong to the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Alternaria. The results obtained showed that micromycetes of the species Penicillium chrysogenum Thom, Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl., Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc., Fusarium oxysporum Schltdl., Aspergillus fumigatus Fresen., Aspergillus niger Tiegh., Aspergillus terreus Thom were present both in the suspension after washing off the insects and in the homogenized insects.
