Abstract

Tea Camellia sinensis L. is a perennial crop onrush by many arthropod pests. The eriophyid purple tea mite, C. carinatus lead to damage to the fresh tea leaves and had a brownish discoloration and and affected flaovur of tea. It also major tea pest together with Acaphylla theae in Indıa. This study focused on the population situations and chlorophly content changes related to the C. carinatus infestations. Study conducted during one year and collect tea leaves 6 different tea plantation areas in eastern Black Sea area. Individual count and chlorophyll content was performed same day after collecting for avoiding chlorophyll content changing and specimens dying during the preservation period. Study results showed that the C. carinatus found every season but population start to increase early february to reached to peak level end of march. It also showed that the population start to desrease early april and finally remains at very low levels throughout the summer. During the high population density time chlorophyll content was adversely affected by the infestation levels. Density dependent measurements also verify this situation according to the seven density category chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll content of the 0, 0-5 individual category showed the statisticall significant differences than the other density category. This work may help future tea prodution plan and its quality by focusing pest management.

TÜRKİYE’NİN DOĞU KARADENİZ BÖLGESİNDE İLK ÇAY HASADI ÜZERİNE Calacarus carinatus’UN (PROSTİGMATA: ERİPHYİDAE) OLASI OLUMSUZ ETKİLERİ

Abstract

Çay Camellia sinensis L. birçok eklembacaklı zararlının saldırısına uğrayan çok yıllık bir üründür. Eriophyid mor çay akarı, C. carinatus taze çay yapraklarına zarar vererek kahverengimsi bir renk bozulmasına neden olur ve çayın tadını etkiler. Ayrıca Hindistan'da Acaphylla theae ile birlikte önemli bir çay zararlısıdır. Bu çalışma C. carinatus istilalarıyla ilgili popülasyon durumlarına ve klorofil içeriği değişikliklerine odaklanmıştır. Çalışma bir yıl boyunca yürütülmüş ve doğu Karadeniz bölgesinde 6 farklı çay plantasyonu alanından çay yaprakları toplanmıştır. Klorofil içeriğinin değişmesini ve örneklerin koruma süresi boyunca ölmesini önlemek için örneklerin sayımı ve klorofil içeriği aynı gün içerisinde toplama işleminden sonra gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları C. carinatus’un her mevsim bulunduğunu ancak popülasyonun Şubat ayının başlarında artmaya başladığını ve mart ayının sonunda zirveye ulaştığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca sonuçlar popülasyonun nisan ayının başlarında azalmaya başladığını ve sonunda yaz boyunca çok düşük seviyelerde kaldığını göstermiştir. Yüksek popülasyon yoğunluğu zamanında klorofil içeriği istila seviyelerinden olumsuz etkilenmiştir. Yoğunluğa bağlı ölçümler de yedi yoğunluk kategorisi klorofil içeriğine göre bu durumu doğrulamaktadır. 0, 0-5 bireysel kategorinin klorofil içeriği diğer yoğunluk kategorilerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar göstermiştir. Bu çalışma, zararlı yönetimine odaklanarak gelecekteki çay üretim planına ve kalitesine yardımcı olabilir.
