Abstract

The need to ensure sustainable development of the agricultural complex in the face of increasing aridity, as well as the need to reduce product contamination with xenobiotics, makes agricultural producers turn to the achievements of environmental science and practically use the general patterns of the structure and functioning of ecosystems. The goal of the authors' research was to clear the ways of influencing agrocenosis through the use of natural consortium relations between different species. The article describes the methods of research and the results, the significance of which for agroecosystems of the Lower Volga region is high due to their wide applicability and the absence of earlier systematized information on this topic. Readers are invited to the typical consortia "cultivated plant-phytophagous", "weed plant-phytopathogenic microbiocomplex", "phytophagous-entomophage", "cultural plant-entomophage", combination and alternation of which allows us to build manageable trophic chains that naturally reduce the influence of pests and weeds plants onto the cultivated crop.
