The dusty plasma and turbulent plasma properties in the vicinity of Jupiter and particularly inside the Ganymede magnetosphere can be a key parameters for understanding the plasma processes The complex system magnetic and electric field inside the Jowian magnetosphere can drive electrojet. If these currents exceed a certain critical amplitude, a streaming instability called the Farley-Buneman or a collisional two-stream instability develops. This instability grows more rapidly at shorter wavelengths and the waves propagate nearly perpendicular to the magnetic field. It is well known that even system with finite number of interacting waves can realize a turbulent state in active media. In such cases, when the number of cooperating waves remains small due to a competition of processes of their instability and attenuation, the turbulence appears in the result of their stochastic behavior. We study of nonlinear stabilization and influence of the dust component, conditions of stochasticity and the different regimes in the conditions when the number of interacting waves keeps small by the strong competition of processes wave damping and instabilities are considered.
