ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF PEACH BIOLOGICALIZED PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASES
The paper gives an economic evaluation of peach biologicalized protection against the main diseases that cause great damage to crops in humid subtropical Russia. Biological protection means made it possible to obtain an increase in the peach yield in the experiment variants in comparison with the standard treatment for ‘Collins' cultivar (from 3.3 to 10.2 c/h), and for ‘Redhaven' cultivar (from 3.5 to 12.1 c/h). The highest yield increase obtained in the experiment variants with complex protection by Fitosporin-M, according to peach cultivars, made up: 10.2 c/h for ‘Collins' and 12.1 c/h for ‘Redhaven'. In the same experiment variant, the highest marketability was 97.6 % for ‘Collins' and 98.4 % for ‘Redhaven'; the highest cost recovery were obtained.
