Description
Summary:The purpose of this work was to study the species composition of arachnids (true spiders and harvestmen) in a spring wheat agrocenosis and the responses of their populations to crop treatment with Decis, a pyrethroid insecticide. Our tasks were as follows: to amend the list of spider and harvestmen species inhabiting the spring wheat fields in the vicinity of Yekaterinburg, to study the seasonal population dynamics of individual species in the corresponding agrocenosis, and to determine the patterns of their responses to the treatment of wheat crops at the booting stage with Decis.
