Abstract

The
codling moth, Cydia pomonella Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an economically
important pest of apple trees in Turkey and also in worldwide. The aim of this
study was to report a continuous rearing method on green immature apples (Malus domestica cv. 'Gala') for C. pomonella and fundamental information
of its biology. The experiments were conducted from 2017 to 2019 under the
laboratory conditions. Eggs were laid individually or disorderly in small
masses on the oviposition substrate in the adult cages. Adult food had a
positive effect on the number of eggs laid per female and egg viability. Larvae
developed through five instars based on head capsule measurements. Larval development
was completed in 15.89±0.25 days. Survival rate of larvae ranged from 24.1% and
92.6% based on larval density per apple. The duration of pupal development was
8.90±0.10 days with 87.5% adult emergence. The life cycle was completed on
average in 29.5±0.3 days. Adult longevity was 12.2±0.60 days for
females and 16.7±1.90 days for males. A single female laid about 12.3 eggs/day
and a total of 85-200 eggs with 83.9% viability. The codling moth has been reared continuously in the laboratory for two years
with no evidence of disease in the colony.

Doğal Konukçusu “Yeşil Olgunlaşmamış Elma” Malus domestica (Borkh) (Rosales: Rosaceae) Üzerinde Elma İçkurdu, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)’nın Biyolojisi ve Laboratuvarda Yetiştirilmesi

Abstract

Elma içkurdu, Cydia pomonella Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Türkiye’de
elma ağaçlarında ekonomik olarak önemli zararlılarından biridir. Bu çalışmanın
amacı C. pomonella için yeşil
olgunlaşmamış elma (Malus domestica
cv. 'Gala') üzerinde yetiştirme metodunun ve temel biyolojik özelliklerinin
rapor edilmesidir. Deneyler laboratuvar koşullarında 2017’den 2019 yılına kadar
yürütülmüştür. Yumurtalar, ergin kafesleri içerisindeki ovipozisyon substratı
üzerine doğduran veya dağınık küçük kümeler halinde bırakılmıştır. Ergin besini
dişi başına yumurta bırakılan yumurta sayısı ve canlılığı üzerinde olumlu etki
göstermiştir. Larvalar baş kapsül ölçümlerine göre beş dönem yoluyla
geliştiler. Larva dönemi yaklaşık 15.89±0.25 günde tamamlanmıştır. Larva
döneminde canlı kalma oranı, elma başına larva yoğunluğuna bağlı olarak %24.1
ve %92.6 arasında değişmiştir.  Pupa
gelişme süresi, %87.5 ergin çıkış oranı ile ortalama 8.90±0.10 gün sürmüştür.
Yaşam döngüsü yaklaşık 29.5±0.3 günde tamamlanmıştır. Ergin ömür uzunluğu,
dişilerde 12.2±0.60 gün, erkeklerde 16.7±1.90 gündür. Çiftleşmeden sonra tek
bir dişi, yaşamı boyunca yaklaşık 12.3 yumurta/gün ile %83.9 canlılıkta
toplamda 85-200 yumurta bırakmıştır. Elma içkurdu, laboratuvarda kolonisinde
hiçbir hastalık belirtisi gözlenmeden 2 yıl boyunca sürekli yetiştirilmiştir.
