Thrips
(Thysanoptera) is often recognized as harmful insect species in crops
cultivated in Çukurova region of Turkey. Some thrips species is also well-known
as a vector of virus disease of some plants. Knowledge of thrips and beneficial
insects in medicinal and aromatic plants is not well-understood.  For this aim, this study was carried out on
medicinal and aromatic plants grown naturally in Balcalı campus of Çukurova
University during 2013-2014. A total of 13 plant species belonging to nine
plant families were sampled. A total of 11 Thysanoptera species belonging to
families Aeolothripidae, Phlaeothripidae and Thripidae were identified. A total
of six predatory insect species, most of which belong to family Anthocoridae
(order Hemiptera) was recorded. Thrips
tabaci Lindeman was the most
prevalent pest thrips comprising of 33.85% of total adult individuals.
Predatory anthocorid Orius niger
(Wolff) accounted for 68.66% of total predatory adult insects. Species numbers
and abundance of thrips and their predators were greater on Lantana camara (Lantana) than on others.
Ocimum basilicum (Basil), Salvia spledens (Scarlet sage) and Hibiscus syriacus (Rose of Sharon) did
not host any harmful insects. O.
basilicum visited by most Orius
species may have showed repellent effect against the pest thrips, while it is
more attractive to Orius species. No thrips or any insect damage was observed
on the plants sampled. One reason of this issue may be due to insect
suppressions by the predatory insects. O.
basilicum may also be evaluated as a banker plant supporting predators in
ecologically cultivations of medicinal and aromatic and other crop plants.

Thripsler (Thysanoptera) Çukurova’da değişik
ürünlerde ekonomik düzeyde zarara sebep olabilen türlerdir. Thrips türlerinin
bazıları konukçusu olan bitkilerde beslenme yoluyla verdikleri zarara ilave
olarak virus hastalığı taşıyarak da sorun olmaktadır. Tıbbi ve aromatik
bitkiler üzerinde saptanan Thrips ve faydalı türleri ile önemleri konusunda
bilgiler bulunmamaktadır. Bu amaçla çalışma 2013-2014 yıllarında Adana ilinde
Çukurova Üniversitesi Balcalı kampüsünde doğal olarak yetişen bazı tıbbi ve
aromatik bitkiler üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Dokuz familyaya bağlı 13 bitki türü
örneklenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Aeolothripidae, Phlaeothripidae ve Thripidae
familyalarından 11 Thysanoptera türü saptanmıştır. Çalışmada çoğunlukla
Anthocoridae (Hemiptera) türleri olmak üzere 6 avcı böcek türü kaydedilmiştir.
Zararlı thrips türleri içerisinde en yaygın Thrips
tabaci Lindeman (%33.85); avcı türlerden ise Orius niger (Wolff) (%68.66) saptanmıştır. Örnekleme yapılan
bitkiler arasında Lantana camara
(Mine çalısı) bitkisinin çok sayıda zararlı ve faydalı türe konukçuluk ettiği
belirlenmiştir. Ocimum basilicum
(Fesleğen), Salvia spledens (Ateş çiçeği),
Hibiscus syriacus (Ağaçhatmi) ve Abelia grandiflora (Kelebek çalısı)
üzerinde zararlı thrips türü bulunamamıştır. O. basilicum üzerinde çoğunlukla avcı Orius türleri kaydedilmiştir. O.basilicum
zararlı thripsler için muhtemelen uzaklaştırıcı etki gösterirken, Orius spp.’yi cezbetmektedir. Örneklenen
bitkiler üzerinde thrips veya diğer zararlı böceklerden kaynaklanan herhangi
bir zarar görülmemiştir. Bu durumun avcı böceklerden kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir.
Ocimum basilicum ekolojik tıbbi ve
aromatik bitki yetiştiriciliği dahil farklı ürün gruplarında avcı böcekleri
destekleyen banker bitki olarak değerlendirilebilir.
