REVIEW OF METHODS OF ACCOUNT OF SIBERIAN SHELK ORDER (DENDROLIMUS SUPERANS SIBIRICUS TSCHETW.)
On the basis of the literature and regulatory documentation, the main methods of accounting for the Siberian silkworm were studied. For the timely detection of the foci of the Siberian silkworm, several basic methods of counting are used - in the crown and in the litter. To account for the caterpillars in the crown, the tree-lining method, the calomer method, and the method of registration branches are used. Accounting in the litter is recommended to be carried out within the limits of the crown projection of model trees of the I tier at small sites. There is also an equally effective way to account for the Siberian silkworm - the pheromone method, but such traps do not show the population density. The most popular and less labor-intensive method in the Russian Federation is the tree-cutting method. In the future, when working with accounting data, the study of the population boundaries is carried out and, if the population exceeds the norm, then documents are prepared on the chemical or biological treatment of the area to prevent the proliferation of numbers and the occurrence of foci. If time does not take action, then under favorable conditions for the silkworm, this can lead to a catastrophic number, which would entail major material damage to the state.
