Abstract

The poplar leaf beetle (Melasoma populi L.) is one of the most dangerous pests affecting poplar trees across the Eurasian region. Its mass reproduction leads to significant foliage damage, reduced photosynthetic activity, and weakened tree vitality. This study examines the biological characteristics of the species, its harmful effects, and methods of monitoring and control. The research was conducted in the Andijan region, where outbreaks of the pest were observed. Results showed that biological control methods, particularly Bacillus thuringiensis-based preparations, are effective alternatives to chemical insecticides.
