The results of observations of the population Diprion pini pine plantations in the definition of distribution, phenological and biological characteristics of the species. In the survey of plantations inhabited conifer-chewing insects, which set the flash phase is pest populations and which categories are pockets of his breeding, biological characteristics Diprion pini in these conditions.
