Abstract

Rosehip is an important socio-economic plant in Turkey. This study was carried out with the aim to determine morphology, biology and infestation of Mecorhis ungarica (Herbst, 1783) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae), which damaged rosehip fruits in Erzincan province in 2007-2008. The study was conducted in three steps, field surveys and biological and morphological studies. According to results of study, females laid eggs in flower buds or fruits, eggs hatched in 812 (10.1) days, oviposition lasted 40-45 (40) days in the nature, and daily fecundity was 1.2-1.6 (1.4) eggs. Larvae developed inside fruit, started maturing the second week of August, exiting from fruit, burrowing into the soil to build chamber for hibernation. They passed to the pupal stage at the end of third week of April in early spring, pupal development time was 8-12 (9.9) days and new generation adults emerged from soil at the last week of April. Consequently, M. ungarica completed one generation in a year. According to the results of a survey in Erzincan province in 2007, infestation rates were 18% on flower buds and 31.7% on fruit of rosehip by eggs, larvae or adult damages of M. ungarica and average infestation rate was 24.85%

Kuşburnu bitkileri üzerinde bulunan Mecorhis ungarica (Herbst, 1783) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae)'nın morfoloji, biyoloji ve zararının araştırılması

Abstract

Kuşburnu, Türkiye’de sosyo-ekonomik açıdan önemli bir bitkidir. Bu çalışma Erzincan ilinde 2007-2008 yıllarında, kuşburnu bitkisi üzerinde zarara sebep olan Mecorhis ungarica (Herbst, 1783) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae) ’nın morfolojisi, biyolojisi ve zararının belirlenmesi amacı ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmalar; arazi sürveyleri, biyolojik çalışmalar ve morfolojik çalışmalar olmak üzere üç kısımda gerçekleştirilmiştir.Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, M. ungarica dişilerinin yumurtalarını kuşburnu bitkisinin tomurcuk veya meyvesi içerisine bıraktığı, yumurtaların 8-12 (10,1) günde açıldığı, doğada yumurta bırakmanın 40-45 (40) gün sürdüğü, bir dişinin günlük yumurta veriminin 1,21,6 (1,4) olduğu, larvanın meyve içerisinde beslenerek olgun hale geldiği, ağustos ayının ikinci haftasından itibaren toprağa geçerek bir kese hazırlayıp kışı bunun içerisinde geçirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Erken ilkbaharda nisan ayının üçüncü haftasında pupa dönemine geçtiği, pupa süresinin 8-12 (9,9) gün olduğu ve mayıs ayının son haftasından itibaren erginlerin topraktan çıkış yaptığı belirlenmiştir. M. ungarica Erzincan ekolojik koşullarında yılda 1 döl vermektedir. Erzincan İlinde 2007 yılı sürvey çalışması sonuçlarına göre; kuşburnu tomurcuklarının %18’i ve meyvelerin %31,7’si M. ungarica’nın yumurta, larva veya erginlerinin zararına maruz kaldığı, genel bulaşıklık oranının ise %24,85 olduğu tespit edilmiştir
