Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the capture rates of Thrips meridionalis (Priesner, 1926) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) adults on different colored traps between 2017 and 2019 in Isparta Province of Turkey. Three locations were selected for investigation: (1) various orchards with apple trees, (2) various orchards with cherry trees, and (3) various orchards with walnut. The active period of the insect was determined to be between 15 March and 1 April over the three years. Ghost-white traps captured the most T. meridionalis and the differences between this color trap and other colored traps were found significantly differed according to a Tukey’s HSD test in all orchards and in all years (P<0.001). It is suggested that an important technique in integrated pest management for monitoring and controlling of T. meridionalis adults could be to use ghost-white sticky traps.

Thrips meridionalis (Priesner, 1926) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)’in renkli tuzaklar ile tespiti ve izlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma Thrips meridionalis (Priesner, 1926) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) erginlerinin farklı renk tuzakları ile yakalanma oranlarının belirlenmesi amacı ile 2017-2019 tarihleri arasında Isparta ilinde yapılmıştır. Denemeler 3 farklı lokasyonda yapılmıştır: (1) elma ağırlıklı meyve bahçesi, (2) kiraz ağırlıklı meyve bahçesi ve (3) ceviz ağırlıklı meyve bahçesi. Zararlının aktif uçuş zamanının üç yıllık çalışma verilerine dayanarak 15 Mart-01 Nisan tarihleri aralığında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonunda en fazla T. meridionalis bireyi cezbeden renk kirli beyaz olarak belirlenmiş ve Tukey HSD testi sonuçları sözü edilen rengin çekicilik oranının diğer tüm renklerin çekicilik oranına göre tüm meyve bahçelerinde ve tüm deneme boyunca farklı olduğunu göstermiştir (P<0.001).  Thrips meridionalis erginlerinin izlenmesi ve kontrolü için kirli beyaz renk tuzaklarının entegre mücadelede kullanılabilirliğinin etkili bir yöntem olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
