Abstract

 This article analyzes the relevance of biological methods for plant disease control and crop protection in modern agricultural practice. The study is prepared in IMRAD format and focuses on technological, ecological and economic factors influencing sustainable agricultural development. The aim of the research is to evaluate the role of innovative methods in improving productivity, resource efficiency and long-term stability of agricultural systems. The results indicate that scientifically based management, digital monitoring and adaptive strategies can improve production outcomes while reducing environmental pressure.
