(Acarina:Tetranychidae), and <em>Myzus persicae </em>(Sulzer) (Hom.:Aphididae) were found to be the major pests. <em>Bemisia tabaci </em> Gern (Hom.:Aleyrodidae), <em>Asymmetrasca decedens </em> Paoli, <em>Empoasca decipiens </em> Paoli (Hom.:Cicadellidae), <em>Trips tabaci </em> Lindeman and <em>Frankliniella occidentalis </em> (Pergande) (Thy.:Thripidae), <em>Liriomyza bryoniae </em> (Kaltenbach) (Dip.:Agromyzidae) were found to be the secondary pests. <em>Eristalodes taeniops </em> Wiedeman (Dip.:Syrphidae) and <em>Epitrix hirtipennis </em> (Melsh) (Col.:Chrysomelidae) were found very rarely on protected eggplant. Natural enemies suppressed the secondary pests if there was no disturbance of the natural balance. <em>L. bryoniae </em> were suppressed by the larval parasitoids, <em>Diglyphus isaea ( </em>Walker) (Hym.:Eulophidae).  The parasitoid of <em>M. persicae </em>, <em> Diaretiella rapae </em>(M’ınst) <em>, </em> parasited <em>M. persicae </em> in the early vegetation. However, after the predators were seen in the plastic tunnels, the parasitism was not recorded. <em>Propylea quotuordecimpunctata </em> (Goeze) and <em>Adonia variegata </em>(Goeze) (Col.:Coccinellidae); <em>Chrysoperla carnea </em>(Steph.) (Neur.: Chrysopidae); <em>Aphidoletes aphidimyza </em>(Rond.) (Dip.:Cecidomyiidae); <em>Sphaerophoria scripta </em> (L.) (Dip.:Syrphidae) were effective on <em>M.persicae </em> population. <em>Stethorus gilvifrons </em> (Muls), <em>Scymnus rubromaculatus </em>(Goeze), <em> S.apetzi </em>Mulsant, <em> S.interruptus </em>(Goeze), <em> S. frontalis </em>(Fabricius) (Col.:Coccinellidae); <em> C.carnea </em>; <em>Deraeocoris serenus </em> D.Sc., <em>Orius niger </em> (W.) (Het.:Miridae) were effective on <em>T.urticea </em> population. <em>O.niger </em> and <em>Aelothrips collaris </em> Priesner (Thy.:Thripidae) were effective on <em>T.tabaci </em> and <em>F.occidentalis </em> populations. <em>Macrolophus </em> <em>caliginosus </em> (Wgn.) (Het.:Miridae) were effective on whitefly population. <em>O.niger, C.carnea </em>were effective on Cicadellidae species.}, number={1}, publisher={TARIM VE ORMAN BAKANLIĞI EĞİTİM VE YAYIN DAİRESİ BAŞKANLIĞI}
