abstract = "Sea buckthorn fly (Rhagoletis batava Hering, 1958) constitutes the primary pest affecting cultivated sea buckthorn in the western region of Mongolia, with its destructive impact escalating annually and causing significant losses in yield. This study aims to assess the distribution of sea buckthorn flies, well-known for their harm to cultivated sea buckthorn, and to evaluate the effectiveness of biological preparation and entomopathogenic nematode against these flies. From 2020 to 2022, the investigation into the distribution of sea buckthorn flies was conducted in regions where sea buckthorn cultivation is prevalent, selecting provinces within the central and western agricultural regions. This research has revealed the presence of the Sea buckthorn fly in Ulaangom and Tarialan sums of Uvs province, Jargalant of Khovd province, Khaliun sum of Gobi-Altai province, Uliastai, and Songino sums of Zavkhan province, respectively. In the years 2021-2022, a research study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of bio-preparations against sea buckthorn flies specifically in Ulaangom sum of Uvs province and Jargalant sum of Khovd province. The results indicated that the bio-preparation Aversectin C (Fitoverm), derived from entomopathogenic fungi, exhibited a notable effectiveness range of 75.8-93.8% against sea buckthorn fly larvae. Furthermore, the preparation containing Steinernema feltiae entomopathogenic nematode demonstrated a substantial reduction in the fly population by 2.3-3.6 times. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential utilization of these biological preparations for effective pest management in cultivated sea buckthorn ecosystems.",
