In this study, the connection between upper-lower leaf toughness
and insect feeding in populations of Lythrum salicaria L. taxon, spreading along the
Porsuk River, Kütahya have been examined, considering canopy coverage as main
factor. It has been determined that there is a negative (-) relation between
total number of insects and canopy coverage (%) (r = -0,94); the more canopy
coverage has increased, the less the total number of insects that spreading on
the stem and leaves of Lythrum salicaria
populations has decreased. Moreover, with the increase of lower (r = 0,33) and
upper leaf (r = 0,42) toughness (gr), it has been determined that the number of
total insects invading the stem and leaves of Lythrum salicaria populations has also increased.

Lythrum salicaria L. (Lythraceae) YAPRAK SERTLİKLERİNİN BAZI BÖCEK GRUPLARININ BESLENMELERİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Öz

Bu araştırmada, Lythrum
salicaria L. taksonunun Kütahya ili Porsuk Nehri kenarında yayılış gösteren
populasyonlarının alt ve üst yaprak sertlikleri ile bazı böcek türlerinin beslenmeleri
arasındaki ilişki tepe tacı kapalılığı ana etken olmak üzere araştırılmıştır. Lythrum salicaria populasyonlarını istila
eden toplam böcek sayısı ile tepe tacı kapalılığı (%) arasında negatif (-) bir
ilişkinin olduğu (r = -0,94), tepe tacı kapalılığı yüzdesi arttıkça, Lythrum salicaria populasyonlarının
gövde ve yapraklarında yayılış gösteren toplam böcek sayısının azaldığı
belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca alt (r = 0,33) ve üst yaprak (r = 0,42) sertliklerinin
(gr) artması ile, Lythrum salicaria
populasyonlarının gövde ve yapraklarını istila eden toplam böcek sayısının da
arttığı tespit edilmiştir.
