Abstract

One of the major forest pests in
Turkey, Thaumetopoea pityocampa
(Lepidoptera: Notodontidae), causes serious damage in pine trees.  Mechanical and chemical control tactics are
applied for management of this pest in forest areas where the chemical control
is mostly preferred. However, due to its adverse effects of chemicals on the
environment and human health, alternative control methods have gained
importance.  In this study, three
different doses (0,1%, 0,5% and 1%) of each of five different thyme essential
oils (Origanum majorona, O. multiflorum,
O. saccatum, Thymus cilicus, T. spicata) were applied to the larvae of the
pine processionary in four replications. When the 1% dose of all oils were
assessed, the highest mortality rate was observed in T. cilicus with 95%, followed by O. saccatum (90%), T. spicata
and O. multiflorum (80%) and O. majorona (75%). As a result of the
study, it was seen that the application of essential oils is effective even at
low doses, and the effect increases along with the respective doses. This study
revealed that thyme oil could be used as a bio insecticide in the control of T. pityocampa in forests.

Abstract

Türkiye’de orman
alanlarında önemli orman zararlılarından biri olan Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) özellikle çam ağaçlarında
ciddi zararlara neden olmaktadır. Ülkemizde orman alanlarında bu zararlının mücadelesinde
mekanik ve kimyasal mücadele yapılmaktadır. Son yıllarda bu zararlıya karşı kimyasal
mücadele en çok tercih edilen yöntemdir. Fakat kimyasal mücadelenin çevre ve insan
sağlığına olan zararlı etkilerinden dolayı günümüzde alternative mücadele yöntemleri
ön plana çıkmaktadır. Tarımsal alanlarında zararlılara karşı bitkisel yağların kullanımı
ile ilgili birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak çam kese böceğine karşı bitkisel
yağların etkisi üzerine yapılmış çalışmalar oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada beş
farklı kekik türüne ait uçucu yağların (Origanum majorona, O. multiflorum, O. saccatum, Thymus cillilus, T. spicata) üçfarklı dozu (%0,1,
%0,5 ve %1) dört tekerrürlü olarak çam kese tırtılının larvalarına uygulanmıştır.
Denemeler %70 nem ve 20±2^oC laboratuvar şartlarında yürütülmüştür.
Çalışma beş gün takip edilmiş ve sonuçlar yüzde ölüm oranı üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir.
Tüm yağların %1 dozu değerlendirildiği zaman en yüksek ölüm oranı T. cilicus ‘da %95 belirlenmiştir. Diğer
türlerde ise sırasıyla O. saccatum
(%90), T. spicata ve O. multiflorum (%80) ve O. majorona (%75) olarak bulunmuştur.
