The Educational and Scientific Laboratory of Entomology operates with the aim of wide involvement of scientific and pedagogical staff and students of all levels of the university in conducting basic research and implementation of applied developments in priority areas of scientific and innovative activities.

Laboratory research is carried out in the following areas:

The laboratory is a structural educational and scientific subdivision of the Faculty of Agrotechnologies and Environmental use.

The main tasks of the laboratory are:

The laboratory is located in the assigned auditorium № 21. The teacher’s workplace is equipped with a demonstration table and a classroom board, a device for the use of technical teaching aids, etc. The laboratory is equipped with educational and visual stands, technical means of training.

The laboratory operates on the territory and research and laboratory facilities of the university, has the appropriate material support. It promotes scientific seminars, scientific conferences, meetings of the student scientific group “Plant Protection”, develops the necessary scientific and methodological materials for the educational process in accordance with current and promising areas of educational and scientific work of the university. On the basis of modern methods of monitoring and control of harmful organisms the “Forecast of phytosanitary condition of agrocenoses and recommendations on protection of cultivated plants from pests, diseases and weeds in farms of the Sumy region” is developed.

The laboratory is a base for laboratory and practical classes for higher education students in educational programs 202 “Plant Protection and Quarantine”, 201 “Agronomy”, 206 “Garden design”, 205 “Forestry” in the following disciplines:

Applicants study in the laboratory the types of polyphagous and specialized pests of crops, plantations, ornamental and flowering plants, field protective forest strips, as well as their entomophagous, limiting the number of pests, the range of victims and hosts on which they grow. In the process of training, species are identified by morphological characteristics, types of plant damage using the latest techniques. Knowledge of taxonomy, biology, ecology, physiology of species is used to develop forecasts for the development and spread of pests to an intangible economic level based on the use of economic thresholds of harmfulness, energy saving and environmental technologies.

Cooperation is offered for Agricultural enterprises, farms, gardeners:

International and state budget tenders carried out in the laboratory:

The laboratory has modern devices and equipment:

– Levenhuk 870T microscope (used to diagnose pests of crops);

– Wile-65 grain moisture meter (used to measure grain moisture (seeds) of agricultural crops);

– MBS microscopes (9 pcs.) (Stereoscopic microscope, which examines both thin samples and bulk objects, both in transmitted and reflected light);

– Laboratory scales BTU 2100 (used to determine the exact weight with a limit of 300 grams and a step of 0.01 grams);

– Torsion scales (a physical device designed to measure small forces or moments of force);

– Sets of laboratory sieves (designed for laboratory determination (particle size distribution) of soils, detection of harmful objects in it, etc.);

– Entomological polyfoam (serves to preserve the collection of pests identified during research);

– Filter paper (used for various technical purposes and filtration);

– Laboratory glassware (used for experiments to determine the entomofauna of agrocenoses and collection, preservation of entomological samples (slides and coverslips, large, small flasks, pipettes, funnels, test tube racks, test tubes, bottles for distilled water and alcohol, dispensers, large cylinders , small, sterile Petri dishes, etc.);

– Vernier caliper (used to measure the diameter of the test material);

– Other equipment used in entomological research (tweezers, scissors, scalpels, dissecting needles, etc.);

– Magnifying glass (optical device used to enlarge the studied objects);

– Camera (used to record the results of entomological studies);

– LENOVO laptop (used for visualization, transmission, processing and storage of information);

– Traps of various designs for the account of wreckers and catching of insects;

– Collections of pests and herbariums of damages (serves as didactic material for applicants).
