Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in combating plant pests. Traditional pesticide use negatively impacts the environment and human health, making alternative biological and physical methods increasingly relevant. The study analyzes the impact of UV radiation on plant pests, the changes it causes in their life processes, and its overall efficiency under laboratory conditions. The results of the research will contribute to the development of environmentally safe and effective pest control methods.
