By evaluating the qualitative features of the fig fruit and the universality of its use, we conducted a study of the properties and features of the local and imported sorts of fig. For this purpose, we used the method of comprehensive phenotyping and agrobiological assessment. As a results we have singled out the “Spitak” fig sort for large-scale production and selection work, because this sort is distinguished by its low stature, small number of seeds, relatively large fruit, symmetrical fruits, self-pollination, and resistance to phytophagous lice.

The species composition of harmful ticks has been studied in orchards of Armavir region during 2019-2021 years. As a result, 13 species of harmful ticks were found on different fruits. 8 of them are tetranichoid ticks and the other 5 are a four legged ticks. Due to the high population density and damage of the vegetative-generative organs of ticks-infected plants, the synthesis and respiratory processes are disturbed, as a result of which the quantitative-qualitative features of the crop are sharply reduced.

To develop preventive measures against moniesiosis of cattle, annual studies of soil samples were conducted, taken from pastures, resting and watering places of animals on the subject infectiousness by oribatid ticks, which are intermediate hosts of the pathogen of moniesiosis. The studies covered Tavush and Kotayk Marzes of the Republic of Armenia. Oribatid ticks were found in soil and on vegetation cover mainly in spring. Thus infections in animals by moniesiosis are registered with the advent of spring and gradually subsided in parallel with the warming weather. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
