The experiments were conducted in the Volgograd Region. Barley seeds before sowing were treated with different microbiological fertilizers. In total, 8 kinds of these fertilizers were tested. The population of pest reduced thereby by 2.2-7.2%. The most effective were Rizoenterin, Klebsiella planticola and Flavobacterin. The phytophage density under their exposure reduced by 10.7-69.6; 11.6-72.0 and 4.0-44.7%, respectively. The efficiency of the chemical reference (Vincite, 1 kg/ton) was 40.0-78.3%. Rizoagrin appeared to be insufficiently effective. Production tests succeeded in reducing the damage of melon crops with terricolous phytophages by 11-13% due to applying Mizorin and Flavobacterin. Bacicol with consumption rate 1 and 2 kg/ha resuced pest damage sowings of spring grain crops by 75.1 and 91.4%, respectively. This was more effective by 10.4-19.5% than when treating with chemical Metafos (1.5 l/ha). High biological efficiency against flea beetles on brown mustard is provided with liquid Bacicol with spore titer 3 billion/g with consumption rate 10-15 l/ha and dry powder with spore titer 45 billion/g with consumption rate 1.5-4.0 l/ha. All preparations of Bacicol were effective against mustard leaf beetle Colaphlus hofti. As a dry powder (1.5-3.0 kg/ha) Bacicol was also effective against cabbage moth worms Plutella maculipennis. Bacicol did not influence negatively the population of entomophages in mustard agrocenosis
