Abstract

Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a volatile compound secreted by various plants as a response to insect attack. However, studies on the effects of this compound on species belonging to the Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) family of beneficial insects are limited in the literature. In this study conducted in Şanlıurfa in 2017 and 2018, Pioneer (P0937) variety maize was directly applied with wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens Linnaeus) oil extract containing predominantly MeSA as trap and seed applications and the attractive effects of MeSA on the beneficial insect Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens, 1836) were investigated. According to the study results, it was determined that both trap and seed applications of MeSA were effective in attracting significantly more individuals in both years.

Şanlıurfa’da Yetiştirilen Mısırda Baskın Olarak Metil Salisilat İçeren Keklik Üzümü (Gaultheria procumbens Linnaeus) Yağı Kullanımının Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens, 1836) Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Metil salisilat (MeSA), zararlı bir böcek saldırısına uğranıldığında, bu duruma bir tepki olarak, çeşitli bitkiler tarafından salgılanan uçucu bir bileşiktir. Ancak, bu bileşiğin, Chrysopidae yararlı böcek familyasına ait türler üzerindeki etkisiyle ilgili yapılan araştırmalar literatürde sınırlıdır. 2017 ve 2018’de, Şanlıurfa’da yürütülen bu çalışmada, Pioneer çeşidi mısır, baskın olarak MeSA içeren keklik üzümü (Gaultheria procumbens Linnaeus) yağı ekstraktıyla doğrudan tuzak ve tohum uygulamaları şeklinde muamele edilmiştir. Buna göre, farklı şekillerde uygulanan MeSA’nın, yararlı böcek Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens, 1836) üzerindeki çekici etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, sonuç olarak, tüm yıllarda, MeSA’ya ait doğrudan tuzak ve tohum uygulamasının her ikisinde de önemli ölçüde daha fazla sayıda birey gözlenmiştir.
