Plants are a source of food not only for humans, but also for a large number of other living beings. We can say that, to some extent, the inhabitants of gardens and orchards are our competitors in the food chain. And if this competition leads to a slight loss of the crop (or does not affect it at all), we do not pay any attention to these inhabitants of the gardens.
However, in the case when the fauna of the garden ecosystem causes serious damage to the crop or the plants themselves, we classify its representatives, who play an important role in this process, as crop pests. The article presents the most dangerous pests of the garden and garden, indicates the characteristic features of their activities and describes how to deal with them.

General characteristics of pests
The list of animals related to pests is quite large and covers several types of living beings. In the first place are representatives of the world of arthropods - insects and mites. It is their activity that causes maximum damage to domestic plants and it is with them that it is most difficult to fight.
This is due to the small size of these creatures, their abundance, fast reproductive cycle and very good survival. Insects and mites are able to feed not only on the fruits of plants, but also on leaves and even wood.
Pest
In second place in terms of danger are representatives of the mammalian kingdom. Various rodents, which are practically omnivores, can seriously damage various parts of trees, mainly eating their bark and damaging the root system.
Plants may also be vulnerable to molluscs (slugs, snails). This is especially true for berries and young foliage.
Not the last role is played by birds - there are many species of birds that pose a serious threat to the crop; for example, starlings like to eat sweet cherries, rooks and crows like nuts, etc.
Even the more primitive types of animals worms and bacteria can pose serious problems for the gardener, as they are even more difficult to deal with than the fauna listed earlier.
Consider the various types of pests that cause the most significant damage to various crops in the garden - fruit trees, vegetables and berries.

Conclusion
orchard
Pests of horticultural and horticultural crops are very diverse. Some of them have a very narrow “specialization” and attack only certain types of plants, but most are polyphages and, in the absence of their main food, are not averse to switching either to closely related species or to a completely different type of food.. In any case, such animals should not be allowed to stay on the site.
And do not think that this is too difficult a task. The use of chemical or biological pesticides for direct control of pests is, in fact, a last resort. In most cases, either preventive treatment of planting sites with chemicals or the use of various folk remedies is sufficient. And with the proper organization of crop rotation and compliance with agricultural technology, most of the pests will bypass the site.
