Determination of the Effects of Some Plant Essential Oils against Aphis pomi De Geer (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Abstract

Aphis pomi De Geer (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the aphid species commonly found in apple production areas. In addition, it is one of the pests that are difficult to control due to its ability to reproduce quickly, and the large number of offspring and hosts. In this study investigated the lethal time of tea tree, lemon and lavender essential oils on second and third stage nymphs of the pest. The experiments were designed with 5 replications for each dose and 10 individuals in each replication. Then, these individuals were left on disinfected fresh shoots without being damaged and the prepared essential oil solutions were sprayed on the fresh shoots with the help of a hand sprayer. After the application of tea tree, lemon and lavender essential oils, counts were made for 9 days and percentage mortality values were calculated. As a result of the study, the LT50 values of these essential oils against the pest were found to be 4.80, 6.00 and 5.14 days, respectively. Tea tree essential oil was determined to be the most effective against apple green aphids. As a result, utilizing the lethal effects of these essential oils against pest within the scope of integrated pest management will contribute to a human and environmentally friendly control that can be an alternative to chemical struggle.

Bazı Bitki Uçucu Yağlarının Elma Yeşil Yaprakbiti Aphis pomi De Geer (Hemiptera: Aphididae)’ye Karşı İnsektisidal Etkilerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Aphis pomi De Geer (Hemiptera: Aphididae) elma üretim alanlarında yaygın olarak bulunan yaprakbiti türleri arasındadır. Ayrıca, hızlı çoğalma yeteneği, döl ve konukçu sayısının çok olması nedeniyle mücadelesi zor olan zararlılardan birisidir. Bu çalışmada, çay ağacı, limon ve lavanta uçucu yağlarının zararlı böceğin ikinci veya üçüncü dönem nimfleri üzerine öldürücü etkisi araştırılmıştır. Denemeler, belirlenen her doz için 5 tekerrürlü ve her bir tekerrürde 10 birey olacak şekilde düzenlenmiştir. Daha sonra, bu bireyler dezenfekte edilmiş taze sürgünlerin üzerine zarar görmeyecek şekilde bırakılmış ve hazırlanan uçucu yağ solüsyonları el pülverizatörü yardımıyla taze sürgünler üzerine püskürtülmüştür. Çay ağacı, limon ve lavanta uçucu yağları uygulandıktan sonra 9 gün boyunca sayım yapılmış ve yüzde ölüm değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, bu uçucu yağların yaprakbitine karşı LT50 değerleri sırasıyla 4.80, 6.00 ve 5.14 gün bulunmuştur. Elma yeşil yaprakbitine karşı uygulanan çay ağacı uçucu yağı içlerinden en etkili olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, zararlıya karşı bu uçucu yağların öldürücü etkilerinden entegre zararlı yönetimi kapsamında yararlanılması kimyasal mücadeleye alternatif olabilecek insan ve çevre dostu bir mücadeleye katkıda bulunacaktır.
