Trichoderma harzianum Rifai (Ascomycota: Hypocreales)’nin Biber Bitkisi Aracılı Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)’nin Biyolojik Özelliklerine Etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Faydalı mikroorganizmalardan Trichoderma harzianum’un bitki köklerine kolonize olması sonucunda bitkilerin bağışıklık sistemini uyararak herbivor böceklere karşı savunma sağladığı bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, T. harzianum'un Demre tipi biber bitkileri üstünde Myzus persicae'nin biyolojik özellikleri üzerine etkileri kontrollü koşullar altında (25±2 °C sıcaklık, %65±5 bağıl nem ve 16:8 aydınlık: karanlık) araştırılmıştır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Köklerine Trichoderma harzianum’un kolonizasyonu sağlanan biber bitkileri üstünde beslenen Myzus persicae’den günlük sayımlarla elde edilen ham veriler yaşam tablosu analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma Bulguları: Analiz sonuçlarına göre, kalıtsal üreme yeteneği (r) kontrol grubunda 0,3148 d⁻¹ ve T. harzianum uygulamasında 0,3304 d⁻¹, artış oranı hızı (λ) ise sırasıyla 1,3701 d⁻¹ ve 1,3916 d⁻¹ olarak bulunmuştur. Net üreme gücü (R₀) kontrol grubunda 68,26 yavru/birey, T. harzianum uygulamasında ise 65,65 yavru/birey olarak belirlenmiştir. Kontrol (2,2 gün) ile T. harzianum uygulaması (2,1 gün) arasındaki popülasyonun ikiye katlanma süresi farkının istatistiksel olarak önemsiz olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda, köklerine T. harzianum kolonize edilen Demre tipi sivri biber bitkileri üzerinde beslenen M. persicae'nin biyolojik özellikleri üzerinde herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir.

Effect of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) on the Biological Traits of Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Mediated by Pepper Plant

Öz

Objective: It has been reported that the colonization of plant roots by the beneficial microorganism Trichoderma harzianum triggers the plant’s immune system, providing defense against herbivorous insects. In this study, the effects of T. harzianum on the biological traits of Myzus persicae on pepper plants were investigated under controlled conditions (25±2°C, 65±5 RH, and a 16:8 light: dark). Materials and Methods: The raw data obtained from daily counts of Myzus persicae feeding on pepper plants whose roots were colonized by Trichoderma harzianum were subjected to life table analysis. Results: According to the analysis results, the intrinsic rate of increase (r) was 0.3148 d⁻¹ in the control and 0.3304 d⁻¹ in the T. harzianum treatment, while the finite rate of increase (λ) was 1.3701 d⁻¹ and 1.3916 d⁻¹, respectively. The net reproductive rate (R₀) was determined as 68.26 offspring/individual in the control and 65.65 offspring/individual in the T. harzianum treatment. The difference in population doubling time between the control (2.2 days) and T. harzianum treatment (2.1 days) was found to be statistically insignificant. Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that there was no effect of T. harzianum colonization on the biological traits of M. persicae feeding on Demre-type pepper plants.
