The last treatment of the stands using aerosol technology with GARD-MN and the viral preparation &#8220;Virin-Diprion&#8221; was carried out in 2013. Since then, the red pine sawfly population has not exceeded the harmful threshold and has not posed a threat to the pine stands.<br \/>\n Unfortunately, there are currently no approved viral insecticides for use, making treatment impossible. However, the natural viral infection among the larvae helps reduce their population.<\/p>\n<p>Forester Serikov S., who has extensive experience in surveying stands and has participated multiple times in treatments of red pine sawfly outbreaks, is sharing his knowledge with a young and promising forest protection engineer, Irina Lisina.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-941 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.kharkivlisozahyst.gov.ua\/en\/img_103_1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kharkivlisozahyst.gov.ua\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/IMG_103_1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.kharkivlisozahyst.gov.ua\/en\/img_103_2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kharkivlisozahyst.gov.ua\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/IMG_103_2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.kharkivlisozahyst.gov.ua\/en\/img_103_3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kharkivlisozahyst.gov.ua\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/IMG_103_3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a forest pathology survey of pine stands in the Bir area of Zavhorodnie Forestry, Izium Forest Enterprise of Kharkiv Regional Forestry and Hunting Management, conducted jointly with the enterprise&#8217;s forest protection service, the death of red pine sawfly larvae due to a viral infection was observed.
