LIFE TABLE, NUMERICAL AND FUNCTIONAL RESPONSE OF ADALIA BIPUNCTATA L. FEEDING ON CHAITOPHORUS LEUCOMEL4S KOCH. BEING A POPLAR PEST

Abstract

C.leucomelas is an important pest on the leaves of poplar trees in  Van  province .    It  has  been   observed  during   our  survey  studies that A.

A. bipunctata has fed on this aphid species. Hence, it was aimed in this study to reveal whether A. bipunctata is an effective predator against to C leucomelas.                                                                                · .•' ·

Life table, numerical and functional response of A.bipunctata  feed

with five different number individuals (4,8,16,32,64) of C. leucomelas taken daily from poplar trees were found . All experiments  has beerH;onducted in

chamber conditions 25±1°C, %60±5 relative humiditY,  16/8 light period  and in glass pots covered with a tent their round top .

It has been conduced that C I eucomelas is as a suitable food for A.

bipunctata. Briefly, it was not found any difference beetwen A. bipunctata feeding on 32 and 64 aphids, in view of the period of development stage and oviposition, also the daily number of laying eggs.They were found the net production rate(Ru) 374,78 female/female , the intrinstic rate of increase(rm) 0,21 female/female/da y and the generation mean time(T) 27,7 day.
