Abstract

In this study, which was carried out in Aydın Province of Türkiye in 2019, predatory species belonging to the Coccinellidae family on mealybug infested plants in agricultural and non-agricultural areas, are reported and discussed. Ten predator species belonging to the Coccinellidae family were identified from 22 host plant species infested with mealybugs. These predator species are promising candidates for mass rearing for biological control purposes in the future.

Türkiye, Aydın İli’nde Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) familyasına bağlı Unlubit (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) avcıları

Abstract

2019 yılında Aydın İli’nde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, tarım ve tarım dışı alanlarda unlubit bulaşık bitkiler üzerindeki Coccinellidae familyasına ait predatör türler araştırılmıştır, Unlubitler ile bulaşık 22 farklı konukçu bitki üzerinde Coccinellidae familyasına ait 10 predatör türü tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen bu türlerin gelecekte biyolojik mücadele uygulamaları için kitle üretimde önemli bir bilgi alt yapısı oluşturabileceği düşünülmektedir.
