TY - JOUR TT - Тhe Species of Superfamily Chalcidoidea – Parasites of Aphidophagous AU - Krsteska, Vesna PY - 2017 DA - September Y2 - 2017 JF - Tekirdağ Ziraat Fakültesi Dergisi JO - JOTAF PB - Tekirdağ Namık Kemal Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 1302-7050 SP - 7 EP - 12 KW - Aphids KW - Syrphidae N2 - The species of the family Syrphidae are one of the most important predators of the peach leaf aphids on tobacco. Inthe complex food chain, aphidophagous hoverflies are attacked by a wide range of parasites. During tobaccovegetation, in the Prilep area, we applied the following methods: survey of 20 tobacco stalks and survey of 100tobacco leaves, in 10 days interval, 2003-2005. The prime material collected from the nature, further is cultivated andanalysed under laboratory conditions. Parasited larva of Syrphidae, feeds with aphids and perform its bioregulatoryrole. Parasite species are activated after the larva of hoverflies is transformed into a puppet stage. They are feedingon tissues and organs of the hoverflies and destroy them. Were identified three parasite species from superfamilyChalcidoidea, eclosed from pupae of hoverflies: Pachyneuron grande (Pteromalidae), Pachyneuron cf. grande(Pteromalidae) and Syrphophagus aeruginosus (Encyrtidae). The most numerous is the parasitic specie P. grande. Itwas registered as a parasite on: Sphaerophoria scripta, Sphaerophoria rueppelli, Episyrphus balteatus, Scaeva pyrastriand Eupeodes corollae. P. cf. grande is a parasite on: S. scripta and S. rueppelli. S. aeruginosus is a parasite on: S.scripta, S. rueppelli, S. pyrastri and E. balteatus. The emergence of parasitic species depends on the occurrence ofhost-hoverflies, while the emergence and development of aphidophagous hoverflies depends on the occurrence ofthe peach leaf aphids on tobacco and climate conditions of the area. This study may contribute in strategies ofbiological control of plant pests and IPM implementation. CR - Adashkevich, B.P. 1975. Entomophagous insects on vegetable crops Kolos, Moscow.
