The book "Tenebrion beetles (Tenebrionidae) and their larvae that harm the field" by D. A. Ogloblin and A. N. Kolobova is a deep and fascinating study that immerses the reader in the world of insects that can have a significant impact on agriculture. This work will be an indispensable source of information for agronomists, biologists, students and anyone interested in ecosystems and their interactions. The authors, with extensive experience in the field of entomology and agronomy, offer the reader a unique view of the problem, which, despite its relevance, often remains in the shadows. Black-tailed beetles belonging to the family Tenebrionidae are known for their devastating effects on crops, and it is this aspect that the main part of the book is devoted to. It examines not only the biology and ecology of these insects, but also their life cycles, behavior, and methods of dealing with them. The book begins with an introduction to the world of blackshirts, where the authors describe their diversity and distribution. The reader will learn about how these beetles adapted to different conditions, and what factors contribute to their reproduction. Intriguing facts about how black calf larvae can damage plant roots or grain make us think about the importance of controlling their population. For those who are interested in agriculture, this book will become a real storehouse of knowledge. The authors examine in detail the methods of dealing with blackberries, including both chemical and biological approaches. They share the results of their research and practical recommendations that will help farmers and agronomists minimize the damage from these pests. This makes the book not only a theoretical work, but also a practical guide for anyone facing pest-related problems. The topics raised in the book go beyond the simple description of insects. The authors address issues of sustainable agriculture, ecology and interaction of different species in agrocenoses. They emphasize the importance of understanding biological processes for effective crop management. This makes the book relevant not only for professionals, but also for a wide audience interested in ecology and sustainable development. The style of the authors is distinguished by scientific rigor, but at the same time they are able to make the material accessible and understandable. Their approach to presenting information allows the reader to easily assimilate complex concepts and apply them in practice. Ogloblin and Kolobov are recognized experts in their field, and their previous work also deserves attention. For example, their research on other insect groups and their impact on agriculture may be of interest to those who want to understand ecosystem processes more deeply. The book Tenebrionidae and their larvae that harm the field will be an important addition to the library of anyone interested in agriculture, biology or ecosystems. This is not just a scientific publication, but a practical guide that will help readers better understand and cope with the challenges posed by pests in agronomy. If you are looking for information about pests, sustainable agriculture or ecology, this work is definitely worth your attention. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of blackshirts and learn how they affect our food future.
