Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the aphid species found on fruit and vegetable fields in central districts (Karatay, Meram, and Selçuklu) of Konya province, a total of 218 samples were examined between 2022-2023 years and 20 aphid species belonging to Aphidinae subfamily of Aphidoidea superfamily were identified. These species are: Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis fabae Scopoli, Aphis gossypii Glover, Aphis nasturtii Kaltenbach, Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach), Brachycaudus (Thuleaphis) amygdalinus (Schouteden), Brachycaudus (Prunaphis) cardui (L.), Brachycaudus helichrysi (Kaltenbach), Brachycaudus (Scrophulaphis) persicae (Passerini), Brevicoryne brassicae (Linnaeus), Dysaphis (Pomaphis) plantaginea (Passerini), Dysaphis (Pomaphis) pyri (Boyer de Fonscolombe), Hyalopterus pruni (Geoffroy), Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas), Myzus cerasi (Fabricius), Myzus lythri (Schrank), Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae (Sulzer), Nasonovia ribisnigri (Mosley), Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae (Linnaeus) and Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus). Aphis gossypii, A. fabae, A. nasturtii, Hyalopterus pruni and Myzus (Nectarosiphon) persicae were found to be the most common and widely distributed species in the study.
