Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter, 1891) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)’in yaşam tablosu parametreleri ile spinosad ve abamectine duyarlılık düzeyleri

Öz

Bantlı sera tripsi, Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter, 1891) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), Afrika, Amerika, Avrupa, Okyanusya ve Asya gibi belirli bölgelerde meyve, sebze, süs ve endüstri bitkilerinde tespit edilmiş tropikal kökenli bir türdür. Bu çalışmada, H. femoralis’in biyolojisi ve mücadelesine ilişkin temel verilerin elde edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, 2024 yılında Akdeniz Üniversitesi Bitki Koruma Bölümü Laboratuvarı'nda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hercinothrips femoralis popülasyonu stok kültür olarak yeşil fasulye meyveleri üzerinde yetiştirilmiştir. Deneyler, sıcaklığın 25±1ºC, bağıl nemin %65±10 ve fotoperiyotun 16:8 saat olduğu koşullarda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre yumurtadan ergine toplam gelişme süresi 20,82 gün, yumurta, birinci larva evresi, ikinci larva evresi, prepupa ve pupa evrelerinin gelişim süreleri sırasıyla 9.0, 2.85, 4.0, 1.41 ve 3.56 gündür. Toplam ergin ömrü 74,88 gün ve yumurta verimi dişi başına ortalama 132,62 adet olarak bulunmuştur. Beslenme denemelerinde ergin bireylerin fasulye, biber, salatalık ve muz meyvelerinde karakteristik zarar oluşturduğu gözlenmiştir. Yaşam tablosu parametreleri, H. femoralis'in uygun iklim koşullarında ve uygun konukçularda kolaylıkla üreyebildiğini ve önemli ekonomik kayıplara yol açabileceğini ortaya koymuştur. Laboratuvar testlerinde spinosad ve abamectin’in tavsiye dozlarının, H. femoralis'te sırasıyla %100 ve %94 oranında ölüme neden olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada tespit edilen spinosad ve abamectin’in H. femoralis'e karşı gösterdiği yüksek etkinlik, kimyasal mücadele stratejilerinin geliştirilmesinde dikkate alınabilir.

Life table parameters and susceptibility levels of Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter, 1891) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) to spinosad and abamectin

Öz

The banded greenhouse thrips, Hercinothrips femoralis (Reuter, 1891) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a tropical-origin species that has been identified on fruits, vegetables, ornamental and industrial crops in certain regions, such as Africa, the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. This study aimed to provide essential data on the biology and management of H. femoralis. The research was conducted in 2024 at Plant Protection Department Laboratory of Akdeniz University. The H. femoralis population was maintained as a stock culture on green bean pods. Experiments were conducted at 25±1ºC, with 65±10% relative humidity and a 16:8 h photoperiod. Results indicated a total development time from egg to adult was 20.82 days. Development time of the egg, first instar, second instar, prepupa, and pupa stages were 9.0, 2.85, 4.0, 1.41, and 3.56 days, respectively. The total adult longevity was 74.88 days, and the mean fecundity was 132.62 offspring per female. In feeding tests, adults caused characteristic damage on bean, pepper, cucumber, and banana fruits. respectively. Life table parameters indicated that H. femoralis can reproduce easily under suitable climates and hosts, causing significant economic losses. In laboratory bioassay the recommended doses of spinosad and abamectin caused 100% and 94% mortality in H. femoralis, respectively. The high efficacy of spinosad and abamectin against H. femoralis demonstrated in this study could be considered in the development of chemical control strategies.
