An analysis of Thysanoptera associated with the flowers of some stone fruits in Mersin Province (Türkiye): composition, distribution, population dynamics and damage status
Abstract
The distribution, abundance and damage status of Thysanoptera species were investigated in two different regions of Mersin Province, Türkiye between 2020 and 2021. A total of 18 Thysanoptera species were determined, with Thrips major Uzel, 1895 and Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande, 1895) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) being the most common. While nectarine had the highest diversity of habitats for thrips, plum displayed greater richness in terms of species composition. Adult thrips primarily inhabited flowers while T. major larvae were present during petal fall periods. No larvae of F. occidentalis or Thrips tabaci Lindeman,1889 (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) were found on the plant parts sampled throughout the samplings. Although no visible signs of damage by adult thrips were observed on the flowers, typical damage in the form of silvery scars appeared on the young fruits of nectarines and plums. The average rate of scarred fruit of nectarines or plums varied between 2-7%. Finally, T. major was the main pest thrips species responsible for damaging fruits of the plums and nectarines in Mersin.
