Abstract

This study investigates the applicability of a mass trapping method using yellow sticky traps for controlling the pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), which is harmful to pear trees. Studies involving Ankara pear-variety saplings were carried out in the Ankara province in three different pear orchards in two different locations in 2012. In the first stage of the study, experiments were conducted using visual yellow sticky traps to determine trap activity in the pear orchard. Afterward, mass trapping studies were carried out with the number of traps determined to be most effective in two different orchards. At the end of the study, it was observed that the yellow sticky traps had demonstrated a very high ability to attract C. pyri adults, but were insufficient to suppress the pest as time progressed. As a result, it was concluded that the use of yellow sticky traps alone in the control of C. pyri would not be sufficient. However, it has been concluded that the traps can be used as a monitor in the early spring period when overwintered C. pyri adults are present and the beneficial population is inactive.

Armut ağaçlarında Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) mücadelesinde sarı yapışkan tuzakların kullanımı

Abstract

Bu çalışma ile armut ağaçlarında zararlı armut psillidi Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) mücadelesinde sarı yapışkan tuzakların kullanımı ve kitlesel yakalama yönteminin uygulanabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Çalışmalar 2012 yılında Ankara ilinde Ankara armudu cinsi fidanların dikili olduğu iki farklı alanda bulanan üç ayrı bahçede yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında tuzak etkinliğini belirlemek için görsel sarı yapışkan tuzaklarla deneme yapılmıştır. Etkili olduğu belirlenen tuzak sayısı ile kitle halinde tuzakla yakalama çalışmalarına geçilerek iki farklı bahçede denemeler yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın sonucunda sarı yapışkan tuzakların C. pyri erginlerini çekme kapasitesinin oldukça yüksek olduğu, ancak dönem ilerledikçe zararlıyı baskı altına almada yetersiz kaldığı görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, sarı yapışkan tuzakların tek başına C. pyri´nin mücadelesinde kullanılmasının yeterli olamayacağı, ancak faydalı populasyonunun aktif olmadığı ve kışlayan psillid erginlerinin bulunduğu erken ilkbahar döneminde ergin popülasyon yoğunluğunu takip etmek amacıyla monitör olarak kullanılabileceği kanısına varılmıştır.
