Determination of insect fauna and seasonal abundance of them in sunflower fields in Hatay

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the phytophagous and beneficial insects, and seasonal abundance of them in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.; Asteraceae, Asterales) fields in Kırıkhan and Reyhanlı districts of Hatay province in 2009-2010. By weekly sampling, randomly chosen 25 plants were controlled. All above-ground parts of plants were checked until they reached to 6-8 leaf seedling stage, and in total, three leaves from the lower, middle and upper part of the each plant were checked in the period between eight-leaf stage and head occurance time. From the period of head occurance, samples were collected by both checking three leaves and shaking the head of the plants into sweep nets for 5-10 seconds. As a result, 28 phytophagous insect species belonging to 10 families and 21 beneficial insect species belonging to 7 families were determined. In general, population densities of Whitefly and aphids were high in the seedling period while those of Asymmetrasca decedens (Paoli) (Cicadellidae) and other phytophagous hemipteran species were high in the head period. Among the beneficial species, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera; Chrysopidae) was the most common in seedling period, but a remarkable increase was observed in coccinellid and Orius spp. (Anthocoridae) densities after this period.
