Description
Summary:Epidemics of winter moth Operophtera brumata L.) was registered in Central Polesye forests with different site types during 1951-2012. Electivity and selectivity indicators were used to determine the attractiveness of edatopes for phytophag breeding. It was determined that winter moth mainly breeds in forests, growing in the following site types: C2, C3, D2, D3, especially in C3. It was proved that winter moth avoids forests that grow under B3 site type and can be met in В2 site type only in case of epidemics.
