GENERAL BIOLOGY OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI AND THEIR POTENTIAL TO CONTROL PEST SPECIES IN TURKEY

Öz

Entomopathogenic fungi have important roles in the natural regulation of many insect pests and pest populations. Several species of entomopathogenic fungi are being produced commercially and used as biological control agents against many insect pests in many parts of the world. They normally invade insects via the external cuticle and need not be ingested to initiate disease. This makes them prime candidates for use against plant and blood sucking insects. In Turkey, there are many insect pests in agricultural and forested area and, they cause great economic losses in these areas. Some studies showed that entomopathogenic fungi can be important biocontrol agents against many pest species in Turkey and, these pathogens have a potential to suppress population of some pest species in the field. In this review, we provide an overview of entomopathogenic fungi and the potential of entomopathogenic fungi for controlling some pest species

ENTOMOPATOJENİK FUNGUSLARIN GENEL BİYOLOJİLERİ VE TÜRKİYE’DE ZARARLI BÖCEKLERİN MÜCADELESİNDE KULLANILMA POTANSİYELLERİ

Öz

Entomopatojenik funguslar pek çok zararlı böcek ve popülasyonlarının doğal regülasyonunda önemli rollere sahiptir. Entomopatojenik fungusların pek çok türü ticari olarak üretilmekte ve Dünya’nın pek çok yerinde zararlı böceklere karşı biyolojik mücadele etmeni olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu funguslar normal olarak böceklerin dış kütikulası üzerinden enfeksiyona sebep olurlar ve hastalığı başlatmak için böcek tarafından yenilmelerine gerek yoktur. Bu özellik bu fungusları bitki özsuyu ile beslenen böcekler ile mücadelede primer adaylar yapmaktadır. Türkiye’de tarım ve orman arazilerinde pek çok zararlı böcek bulunmaktadır ve bu böcekler bu alanlarda her yıl büyük ekonomik kayıplara yol açmaktadırlar. Bazı çalışmalar entomopatojenik fungusların Türkiye’de zararlı böceklere karşı önemli biyolojik mücadele etmeni olabileceklerini ve bu patojenlerin alan uygulamaların büyük bir potansiyele sahip olduklarını göstermiştir. Bu derleme çalışmasında, entomopatojenik fungusların genel biyolojisi ve bazı zararlı böcekleri kontrol etmedeki potansiyelleri verilmeye çalışılmıştır.
