Abstract

Some
thysanopteran (thrips) species are recognized as pests of ornamentals. They
cause typical feeding damage by scarring petals, flowers buds or leaves; thus
resulting in a decrease at market values of ornamentals. However, thrips
composition and importance on ornamental plants in Turkey are not
well-understood. Thysanopteran species on ornamentals grown in the parks, home
gardens and greenhouses in the Çukurova region of Turkey were investigated
during years 2013-2014. Thrips were collected by shaking the plants onto the
white tray. Thrips were slide-mounted and identified. In this work, 62 plant
species belonging to 35 plant families were investigated for thrips. A total of
1875 thrips adults were extracted from a total 256 plant samples. A total of 23
thysanopteran species belonged to 3 families of order Thysanoptera were
determined: Aeolothripidae (6 species), Phlaeothripidae (5 species) and
Thripidae (12 species). Haplothrips
tamaricinus Priesner was the first time detected in Turkey. Ornamentals
belonged to family Asteraceae were more attractive to thrips, bearing
relatively high species numbers and high numbers of adult thrips. Majority of
thrips were collected from multi-flowering ornamentals. Only Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)
was recorded on the ornamentals grown commercially in greenhouses, infesting
most of herbaceous plant species with flowers. The most notable species were in
descending order F. occidentalis, Neohydathothrips samayunkur (Kudo) and Thrips tabaci Lind. The thrips fauna was dominated by F. occidentalis, this thrips being found in 51.17% of the samples
and consisting 81.47 % of the specimens. The second major species N. samayunkur comprised 5.07% of the
samples and accounted for 7.72% of the specimens.

Türkiye’nin Çukurova Bölgesi’nde süs bitkilerinde saptanan thrips (Thysanoptera) türleri

Abstract

Bazı thrips (Thysanoptera) türleri süs
bitkisi zararlısı olarak bilinmektedirler. Thripsler, yapraklar, çiçekler ve
çiçek tomurcuklarında beslenerek yaralanmalara böylelikle ürünün ticari
değerinin azalmasına neden olmaktadırlar. Ülkemizde süs bitkilerinde thrips
kompozisyonu ve bunların önemleri yeterince bilinmemektedir. Çukurova
Bölgesi’nde park, ev bahçeleri ve seralarda yetiştirilen süs bitkilerinde
Thysanoptera türleri 2013-2014 yılında araştırılmıştır. Thripsler, beyaz renkli
kap içerisine bitkilerin silkelenmesiyle toplanmıştır. Thripslerin preparatları
yapılmış olup, teşhis edilmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada 35 bitki familyasına bağlı 62
bitki türü thripsler yönünden araştırılmışlardır. Toplam 1875 thrips ergini 256
bitki örneğinden elde edilmiştir. 
Thysanoptera takımının 3 familyasından 23 thrips türü tanılanmıştır:
Aeolothripidae (6 tür), Phaleothripidae (5 tür) ve Thripidae (12 tür). Haplothrips tamaricinus Priesner Türkiye
için yeni kayıttır. Asteraceae familyasına bağlı bitki türleri yüksek sayıda
thrips tür sayısı ve yüksek sayıda ergin içererek, thripsler için oldukça
cezbedici bulunmuştur. Thripslerin çoğunluğu bol çiçekli bitkilerden
toplanmıştır. Seralarda çiçekli süs bitkilerinde sadece Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) bulunmuştur. En yaygın türler
sırasıyla F. occidentalis,
Neohydathothrips samayunkur (Kudo) veThrips
tabaci Lind’ dir. F. occidentalis
toplam örneklerin %51.17’sinde ve toplam bireylerin %81.47’sinde bulunarak
dominant thrips türü olmuştur. İkinci yaygın tür, N. samayunkur örneklerin %5.07’sinde, toplam bireylerin ise
%7.72’sinde kaydedilmiştir.
