Determination of the Population Development of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in Tomato in Semi-arid Areas

Year 2014, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 21 - 26, 25.06.2014

Abstract

This study was carried out in Konya province (Karatay, Meram and Çumra towns) in 2012 and it was determined that the population development of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) with the pherome traps in tomatoes which were grown in fields and greenhouses. We placed 17 sexual pheromone traps for this purpose at previously selected areas. These traps were checked weekly and the population development of the pest was monitored by recording the adults that caught in the traps. The highest number of adults that were caught in traps in grenhouses in Karatay and Meram towns on 23.08.2012 were 278 and 323, respectively, in Çumra town on 11.09.2012 were 78. The highest number of adults in traps which were placed in fields in Meram and Çumra towns on 26.07.2012 and 21.08.2012 were 285 and 455, respectively.

Yarı Kurak Alanlarda Yetiştirilen Domates Bitkisinde Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)(Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)’nın Popülasyon Gelişiminin Belirlenmesi

Year 2014, Volume: 1 Issue: 1, 21 - 26, 25.06.2014

Abstract

Konya ilinde (Karatay, Meram ve Çumra ilçeleri) açık alanlarda ve seralarda yetiştirilen domates bitkilerinde Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)’nın feromon tuzakları ile 2012 yılındaki popülasyon gelişimi tespit edilmiştir. Bu amaç için belirlenen alanlarda toplam 17 adet eşey feromon tuzağı kurulmuştur. Bu tuzaklar haftalık olarak kontrol edilmiş ve yakalanan erginler kaydedilerek, zararlının popülasyon gelişimi saptanmıştır. Çalışmayla Karatay ve Meram ilçelerinde 23.08.2012 tarihinde seralarda bulunan tuzaklarda en fazla ergin sırasıyla 278 ve 323 adet, Çumra ilçesinde ise 11.09.2012 tarihinde en fazla 78 adet yakalanmıştır. Meram ve Çumra ilçelerinde açık alanlarda kurulan tuzaklarda en fazla ergin sırasıyla 26.07.2012 tarihinde 285 ve 21.08.2012 tarihinde 455 adet tespit edilmiştir.
