Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the malathion resistance levels of two important stored grain pest beetles, Sitophilus oryzae L., 1763 and Sitophilus granarius L., 1758 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), collected from different provinces of Türkiye in the years 2017-2018. To control these pests, chemical insecticides have been widely used for a long time as a grain protectant in farmer warehouses, flour mills, or silos in many countries, including Türkiye. In the current study, insects were exposed to malathion for 24 hours to determine resistance rates. The highest resistance ratio to malathion in S. oryzae was found in the Adana-Kartepe population with 5.73-fold, and the lowest resistance was found in the İstanbul- Büyükçekmece population with 1.57-fold. While the Konya-Alibeyhöyüğü population of S. granarius had the highest resistance ratio of 6-fold, the lowest resistance rate of 2.54-fold was found in the population obtained from the same location but from a different warehouse. According to this study, we found that slight resistance developed in the populations of S. oryzae and S. granarius in Türkiye. In order to prevent the occurrence of resistance due to synthetic insecticides used against stored product pests, it is thought that various insecticide groups with different mechanisms of action should be used.

Türkiye'deki Sitophilus oryzae L., 1763 ve Sitophilus granarius L., 1758 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) popülasyonlarında malathion direncinin belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 2017-2018 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin farklı illerinden toplanan iki önemli depolanmış ürün zararlısı Sitophilus oryzae L., 1763 ve Sitophilus granarius L., 1758 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)'un malathion direnç düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu zararlıları kontrol altına almak için insektisitler, Türkiye dahil birçok ülkede çiftçi depolarında, un değirmenlerinde veya silolarda tahıl koruyucu olarak uzun zamandan beri yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Direnç oranlarını belirlemek için böcekler 24 saat boyunca malathion’a maruz bırakılmıştır. Malathion'a karşı en yüksek direnç oranı Sitophilus oryzae'de 5.73 kat ile Adana-Çukurtepe (K4) popülasyonunda, en düşük direnç ise 1.57 kat ile İstanbul-Büyükçekmece (R1) popülasyonunda bulunmuştur. Sitophilus granarius'un Konya-Alibeyhöyüğü (E3) popülasyonunda en yüksek direnç oranı malathion’a karşı 6 kat iken, en düşük direnç oranı 2.54 kat ile S. granarius'un aynı lokasyonun farklı bir deposundan alınan popülasyonunda (E4) bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmaya göre Türkiye'deki S. oryzae ve S. granarius popülasyonlarında hafif bir direnç geliştiği tespit edilmiştir. Depolanmış ürün zararlısı böceklere karşı kullanılan sentetik insektisitler nedeniyle oluşabilecek direnç vakalarının önlenmesi amacıyla, farklı etki mekanizmalarına sahip çeşitli insektisit gruplarının kullanılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
