Abstract

            In this
study, the development time, mortality, parasitization rate and sex ratio of Lysiphlebus
testaceipes (Cresson,1880) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) on Aphis
craccivora Koch, 1854, Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763 and Aphis
gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae), were determined. The
experiments were carried out at three different, temperatures (17, 22 and
27±1ºC) for each aphid species, 60±10% RH and 16:8 h L:D photoperiod. The
development thresholds and thermal constants for the parasitoid were also
determined for the three aphid species. The parasitization rate of L.
testaceipes was 25.0, 53.4 and 20.5% (for 17, 22 and 27ºC, respectively)
for A. craccivora; 62.7, 71.1 and 37.1% for A. fabae; and 54.2,
70.7 and 20.0% for A. gossypii. The development time of L.
testaceipes was 18.5, 10.9 and 7.9 d in A. craccivora, 17.6, 10.2
and 7.4 d in A. fabae, and 19.8, 12.6 and 9.3 d in A. gossypii at
17, 22 and 27±1ºC. The development thresholds and thermal constants for L.
testaceipes in A. craccivora, A. fabae and A. gossypii
were 9.42, 9.69 and 8.12ºC, and 136.99, 128.05 and 175.44 degree days,
respectively. Based on the overall results, A. fabae is an excellent
potential host for the mass rearing of L. testaceipes at 20-22ºC.

Abstract

Çalışmada Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson,1880) (Hymenoptera:
Braconidae: Aphidiinae)’in Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854, Aphis fabae
Scopoli, 1763 ve Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
üzerinde gelişme süresi, ölüm, parazitleme
ve cinsiyet oranı belirlenmiştir. Denemeler her bir yaprakbiti türü için üç farklı
sıcaklık (17, 22 ve 27±1ºC), 60±10% RH ve 16:8 L:D koşullarında
yürütülmüştür. Gelişme eşiği ve termal konstant üç yaprakbiti türü için hesaplanmıştır.
Lysiphlebus testaceipes’in parazitleme oranı A. craccivora
için %25.0, 53.4 ve 20.5, A. fabae için %62.7, 71.1 ve 37.1, A.
gossypii için %54.2, 70.7 ve 20.0 olmuştur. Lysiphlebus testaceipes’in
gelişme süresi 17, 22 ve 27±1ºC’ de sırayla A. craccivora üzerinde
18.5, 10.9 ve 7.9 gün, A. fabae üzerinde 17.6, 10.2 ve 7.4 gün, A.
gossypii üzerinde 19.8, 12.6 ve 9.3 gündür. Gelişme eşiği ve termal
konstant A. craccivora, A. fabae ve A. gossypii üzerinde
sırayla 9.42, 9.69 ve 8.12ºC; 136.99, 128.05 ve 175.44 gün derece olmuştur.
Genel sonuçlara dayanarak, 20-22ºC’de A. fabae L. testaceipes’in kitle
üretimi için çok iyi bir potansiyel konukçudur.
