Abstract

At present, horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum Linnaeus, 1753) is common in green plantings in settlements of the Republic of Belarus, in Minsk, approximately every fifth tree in green stands is the horse chestnut one. Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimič, 1986 (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), the chestnut leafminer moth, is a widespread pest of A. hippocastanum. The species is alien to the fauna of Belarus and included in the Black Book of Invasive Animal Species of Belarus. C. ohridella larvae live in mines in the mesophyll of horse chestnut leaf blades. In the absence of pest control measures, horse chestnut plantations lose their aesthetic value already in the second half of summer, and there are no economically and environmentally acceptable measures to control populations of C. ohridella. Common horse chestnut is no longer used in creating planting spaces, and the question is raised of replacing horse chestnut trees in existing ones. The article presents calculations of estimated costs for the removal of 300 thousand horse chestnut trees from green stands (from 20.0 to 1039.2 million rubles), purchase (from 1.5 to 504.0 million rubles) and planting (from 4.3 to 36.3 million rubles) of seedlings of tree species resistant to damage by invasive mining pests for the city of Minsk, estimated at 25.8 to 1579.5 million rubles.
