The Determination of Lepidopterous Pest Species and Their Distributions, Densities, and Damages in Corn Fields of Iğdır Province in Turkey

Abstract

This study was carried out in frst and second crop corn felds in order to determine the lepidopterous pest species in 29 corn felds of Iğdır province of East Anatolia Region in 2013-2014 years. In this study was applied in visual inspection method. The sampling were done in 5 adjacent plants on the same row in 5 different points of feld. During studies, a total of 1404 larvae were collected and their adults were reared at the laboratory. As a result of study, Black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon Hufnagel, Beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), Loreyi leafworm, Acantholeucania loreyi (Duponchel), Cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Noctuidae) and European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) (Crambidae) were determined. The rate of the species in the composition of these lepidopterous species, as A. ipsilon 0.93%, H. armigera 30.5%, S. exigua 27.9%, A. loreyi 34.1%, O. nubilalis 6.6% were found. It was found S. exigua damaged in the frst and second crop and H. armigera and O. nubilalis in second crop. In addition, this study has been the frst study on corn pests in Iğdır province.
