ADVENTIVE COCCIDS ON INTRODUCED ORNAMENTAL PLANTS UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF ANDIJAN CITY

This study is devoted to the investigation of adventive coccoids occurring on introduced ornamental plants in the Fergana Valley. As a result of entomological observations conducted in 2025–2026 in the city of Andijan, six species were identified: Aulacaspis yasumatsui, Planococcus lilacinus, Planococcus citri, Parasaissetia nigra, Saissetia coffeae, and Pulvinaria kuwacola. For these species, host plants were determined and the nature of damage was analyzed. It was established that these species are mainly distributed in urban and protected ecosystems. It was noted that they may pose a potential threat to the local flora. The obtained results are important for monitoring adventive pests and developing measures for controlling their spread.
