Chestnut Gall Wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae): An update for its situation on the world and in Turkey and its management

Abstract

The most important insect pest of chestnut, chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) was detected in April 2014 in Yalova and Bursa Regions in Turkey. The invasion probably started at least six years ago and it is expected to reach all the Turkish chestnut forests in a very near future. Its management is a hard task. Chemical insecticides are mostly unsuccessful and not preferred. Some cultural measures could be taken in private orchards. The most successful method so far has been producing and releasing the parasitoid Torymus sinensis Kamijo (Hymenoptera: Torymidae). After the pest’s first record in Turkey, a laboratory for rearing T. sinensis has been built in Yalova by the Turkish General Directorate of Forestry Department of Forest Pest Management and it is going to be activated soon. Chestnut gall wasp has an important component of its community as being in interaction mainly with oak gall wasps and their parasitoids. 11 parasitoid species has already been found in chestnut gall wasp galls in Turkey. This system will get even more complicated and interesting for community ecology studies with addition of T. sinensis. As a general principle, structuring a successful pest management study depends on understanding potential impacts of the control measures at the ecosystem and community level. Chestnut gall wasp system is not an exception to this principle. This review summarizes the relevant literature and puts forth a road map for future pest management and research activities in Turkey.
