Abstract
Çalışmanın amacı: Çam kuruma hastalığı hassas çam ormanları için çok ciddi bir tehditdir. Bu hastalığın sebebi Monochamus Dejean cinsi böcekler tarafından taşınan Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) (Steiner and Buhrer 1934), Nickle 1970 türü nematodlardır. Bu çalışmada Anadolu karaçamı ve sarıçamında bulunan Monochamus galloprovincialis larvalarına karşı entomopatojenik nematod, Steinernema carpocapsae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae)’nin etkinliği test edilmiştir.
Çalışma alanı: Deneyler Düzce Üniversitesi Orman Fakültesi ve Düzce Üniversitesi kampüs alanı içerisindeki çam ormanında yürütülmüştür.
Materyal ve Yöntem: Laboratuar deneylerinde dişi böceklerin her iki çam türünün kütüklerine bıraktıkları ortalama yumurta sayıları ve M. galloprovincialis larvalarında S. carpocapsae’nin üreme kapasitesi çalışılmıştır. Nematodların etkinlik deneyleri ise tamemen arazi koşullarında yapılmıştır.
Temel sonuçlar: M. galloprovincialis dişileri yumurtlamak için sarı çam kütüklerini kara çam kütüklerine göre daha fazla tercih etmektedir. Orman zeminine bırakılan kütüklere nematod uygulandıktan sonra hem karaçamda hem de sarıçamda böcek çıkış oranı kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak daha az olmuştur.
Araştırma vurguları: Bu çalışma sonucunda S. carpocapsae’nin odun delici böceklere karşı etkili bir biyolojik mücadele etmeni olarak kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Abstract
Aim of study: Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a serious threat to the susceptible pine forests. It is caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) (Steiner and Buhrer 1934), Nickle 1970 and transmitted by Monochamus Dejean beetles. In the recent study, we assessed the effects of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) against Monochamus galloprovincialis larvae in Anatolian black pine and Scots pine logs.
Area of the study: The experiments were conducted in Duzce University, Faculty of Forestry and in a pine forest at Duzce University campus area.
Material and methods: The mean number of eggs per pine logs, and the productivity of S. carpocapsae in M. galloprovincialis larvae were compared under laboratory conditions. The nematode experiments were conducted using oviposited pine logs in the field.
Main results: The females of M. galloprovincialis oviposited more eggs on Scots pine compared to black pine logs. Both in black pine and in Scots pine, the survival rates of M. galloprovincialis after nematode application was significantly lower than control.
Highlihts: As a result of the study, S. carpocapsae can be an efficient biological control agent of this wood-boring insect.
