Seasonal population fluctuations and damage rates of Capnodis tenebrionis L. and Capnodis carbonaria L. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in apricot orchards in Malatya province
Abstract
Aims: Seasonal population fluctuations and damage rates of Capnodis tenebrionis L. and Capnodis carbonaria L. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in apricot orchards in Malatya province.
Methods and Results: The study was conducted in 2010-2011 in thirteen apricot orchards in Akçadağ, Battalgazi and Doğanşehir districts of Malatya province. The study was carried out in seven and six apricot orchards in 2010 and 2011 respectively. In both years, the sampled apricot orchards were visited every week and counts were done by visual inspection method. After two years of the study, the population density of pest varied between each sampling year. A total of 1020 Capnodis adults were collected in 2010 from all the sampling areas. Among these, 805 were C. tenebrionis (688♂:117♀) and 215 were C. carbonaria (193♂:22♀). The first adult male and female emergence for C. tenebrionis was observed on 27th April and 18th May in 2010 respectively. For C. carbonaria first male and female emergence was observed on 22nd June and 20th July respectively. A total of 1170 Capnodis adults were collected in 2011 from all the sampling areas. Among these, 903 were C. tenebrionis (790♂:113♀) and 267 were C. carbonaria (225♂:42♀). The first adult male and female emergence for C. tenebrionis was observed on 23rd April and 30th April in 2011 respectively.
Conclusions: In 2010, the largest percentages of C. tenebrionis male were collected in August, July and September, while those of its female were collected in August, September and July. The highest number of C. carbonaria male and female were collected in August, September and July. In 2011, the largest percentages of C. tenebrionis male and female were collected in July, August, September and June. The largest percentages of C. carbonaria male were collected in July, August, September and June, while those of its female were collected in July, August and June.
Significance and Impact of the Study: The higher number of C. tenebrionis was collected by visual inspection method. The higher number of C. tenebrionis was collected than C. carbonaria in both years. The damage rates were observed on various varieties between 0.7-30 % in 2010 and 1.3-30 % in 2011.
