Abstract. The studies aimed to determine the features of the use of entomopathogenic agents and commercial biological preparations on their basis to protect fruit crops from the codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.). We analyzed 102 scientific sources, including papers in leading Russian and international journals, monographs, patents using Scopus, Russian Science Citation Index, Web of Science databases, and other information resources for the period from 2011 to 2020. Codling moth is one of the economically dangerous pests of fruit plantations all over the world; under favourable conditions, its harmfulness can reach up to 90%. Biological protection against this pest is possible with the use of entomopathogenic organisms. The most common of them are entomopathogenic crystal-forming bacteria of the genus Bacillus and their toxins. Along with the insecticidal action (efficiency equals to 80–90%), some strains have antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria. Another group is represented by micromycetes of the genera Beauveria and Metarhizium, which have an insecticidal effect (up to 98%) against a wide range of insect pests, including the codling moth. Viruses belonging to the Baculoviridae family are highly virulent microbial agents. Biological products based on granulosis and polyhedrosis viruses are actively used in the biological control of lepidoptera pests. Among the promising insecticidal agents are nematodes, which are effective due to symbiosis with entomopathogenic bacteria (up to 100%). Entomopathogenic bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes are promising agents for controlling the abundance of phytophages such as codling moth.
