Bu çalışmada zararlının tanımı, biyolojisi, zarar şekli ve savaşımı ile ilgili bilgiler verilmiştir.In Turkey, Rynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790), was first detected on Date palm trees (Phoenyx dactylifera L.) in Mersin province in the Mediterranean region in 2005.

Parasitism status of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on different host-plants in the Cukurova region of Turkey

WOS: 000302335000005Populations changes of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and its parasitism status were monitored on different host-plants in the Cukurova Region (Yuregir and Karatas districts) in 2008 and 2009. Samples were taken from cotton, cucumber, eggplant and soybean and pest numbers were counted in the laboratory. Each year, lower numbers of B. tabaci occurred in early July and increased to higher densities in August and September. Likewise, low parasitism rates by Eretmocerus mundus Mercet 1931 and Encarsia lutea (Masi 1909) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) occurred in July and peaked in August and September. Er. mundus was observed to be more efficient on cotton, eggplant and soybean, but less on cucumber. The parasitism rates by Er. mundus on all host-plants were higher than those of En. lutea. While the highest parasitism rate of Er. mundus was found on soybean (73.94%) in the Yuregir district, that of En. lutea was on eggplant (24.3%) in the Karatas district in 2008. In 2009, while the highest parasitism rate by Er. mundus was on cotton (50.0%) in the Yuregir district, that of En. lutea was found on eggplant (20.0%) in the same district. These parasitism levels confirmed that Er. mundus and En. lutea are important parasitoids of B. tabaci in the Cukurova Region

Çukurova bölgesi’nde Bemisia tabaci (gennadius 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)’nin farklı kültür bitkilerinde parazitlenme durumu

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)’nin populasyon gelişimi ile parazitlenme durumu, Çukurova Bölgesinde (Karataş ve Yüreğir ilçelerinde) 2008 ve 2009 yıllarında farklı kültür bitkilerinde ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Yaprak örnekleri hıyar, pamuk, patlıcan ve soya bitkilerinden alınarak laboratuvarda sayılmıştır. Her iki yılda da Temmuz başında düşük olan B. tabaci yoğunluğu, Ağustos ve Eylül aylarında artmıştır. Benzer şekilde Temmuz ayında düşük olan, Eretmocerus mundus Mercet 1931 ve Encarsia lutea (Masi 1909) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)’ya ait parazitleme oranları, Ağustos ve Eylül aylarında yükselmiştir. Er. mundus pamuk, patlıcan ve soya bitkilerinde hıyar bitkisinden daha etkili bulunmuştur. Er. mundus’a ait parazitleme oranı tüm kültür bitkilerinde En. lutea’ya ait parazitleme oranından daha yüksek bulunmuştur. 2008 yılında Er. mundus’a ait en yüksek parazitleme oranı Yüreğir ilçesindeki soya tarlasında (% 73.94) elde edilirken, En. lutea için bu değer % 24.3 ile Karataş ilçesindeki patlıcan tarlasından elde edilmiştir. İkibin dokuz yılında Er. mundus’a ait en yüksek parazitleme oranı Yüreğir ilçesindeki pamuk tarlasında (% 50) elde edilirken, En. lutea için bu değer % 20 ile aynı ilçedeki patlıcan tarlasından elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen parazitlenme oranları Çukurova Bölgesi’nde Er. mundus ve En. lutea’nın B. tabaci’nin önemli parazitoitleri olduğunu göstermiştir.Populations changes of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and its parasitism status were monitored on different host-plants in the Çukurova Region (Yüreğir and Karataş districts) in 2008 and 2009.

For comparison of the setal lengths, the abacus proposed by Tixier (2012) was applied to the measurements of the five other species to calculate the lower and the upper limits. The non-overlap 95% confidence limits with the measurements of the new species suggested that this species is different from the others.</p> <p> Most of the dorsal setal measurements are missing in the original description of <i>T</i>.

In addition, peritreme of the new species is longer than that of <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>repens</i>. Furthermore, Beglyarov (1981) stated that the macrosetae <i>StIV</i> reached and well past the dorsal slit organ, while it does not reach to that organ in the new species. In addition, <i>Z5</i> and <i>JV5</i> are almost subequal in length, (69 and 65, respectively) in the new species. Beglyarov (1981) did not measure <i>JV5</i> and not include scale bars in the drawings. However, the length of <i>JV5</i> (probably 24–30?) seem to be almost half the length of <i>Z5</i> which is only 48 in length. According to the original description, the ventrianal shield of <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>repens</i> has sharp edges at the level of <i>JV2</i>. In the description, <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>commenticius</i> and <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>repens</i> were separated based on the shape of ventrianal shield which is more close to that of <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>commenticius</i> in the new species (having rounded edges instead of sharp edges). In addition, only seta <i>Z5</i> is serrated in <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>repens</i> while both setae <i>Z4</i> and <i>Z5</i> are serrated in the new species. It should also be noted that this new species is also seems to be close to <i>T</i>. (<i>A</i>.) <i>kazachstanicus</i> Wainstein, 1958 which is known for the Turkish fauna. However, it is distinctly different based on both discrete and continuous morphological characters. The new species can be separated from <i>T</i>.
