Population development of Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) On Five Different Safflower Varieties in Van, Turkey

Öz

Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794) (Diptera: Tephritidae) also known as safflower fly, is an oligophagous species that cause significant damage to safflower plants Safflower, Carthamus tinctorius (L.) (Asterales: Asteraceae), which is among its hosts, is an important energy plant that is drought resistant and has high adaptability. This study investigated the population growth of A. helianthi on five different safflower varieties (Asol, Ayaz, Balcı, Dinçer and Göktürk) in Van Yuzuncu Yıl University, Faculty of Agriculture for two years (2019-2020) in Van province. Result of the study, it was determined that the pest showed a similar population change in both years, the adult individuals were seen at the end of June - mid-August, and their pupae from this date to the beginning of September. It was seen that the insect density was statistically different between the varieties at different sampling dates and the highest adult density was found in variety of Asol pupae in both years, and in Göktürk variety. During sampling with sweep net, 4 parasitoids, Ormyrus sp., M. annulatus, E. acroptilae and Bracon sp., were detected and it was understood in the literature that they were parasitoids of A. helianthi.

Acanthiophilus helianthi (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae)’nin Van (Türkiye) İli’nde Beş Farklı Aspir Çeşidinde Popülasyon Gelişimi ve Parazitoitleri

Öz

Acantiophilus helianthi (Rossi, 1794) (Diptera: Tephritidae) Aspir sineği olarak bilinen aspir bitkilerinde önemli zararlara neden olan oligofag bir türdür. Konukçuları arasında bulunan aspir, Carthamus tinctorius (L.) (Asterales: Asteraceae) bitkisi, kuraklığa dayanıklı ve adaptasyon yeteneği yüksek önemli bir enerji bitkisidir. Bu çalışma Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi deneme alanlarında iki yıl boyunca (2019-2020) Van ilinde A. helianthi’nin farklı aspir çeşitleri üstünde (Asol, Ayaz, Balcı, Dinçer ve Göktürk) populasyon gelişimi incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda zararlının her iki yılda da benzer bir populasyon değişimi gösterdiği, ergin bireylerin haziran sonu - ağustos ortası arasında ve bu tarihten eylül başına kadar pupalarının görüldüğü belirlenmiştir. Farklı örnekleme tarihlerindeki çeşitler arasında böcek yoğunluğunun istatistiksel olarak farklı olduğu ve her iki yılda da en yüksek ergin yoğunluğu Asol çeşidinde, pupada ise Göktürk çeşidinde olduğu görülmüştür. Atrapla örnekleme esnasında 4 parazitoit tür Ormyrus sp. (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae), Microdontomerus annulatus (Spinola, 1808) (Hymenoptera: Torymidae), Eurytoma acroptilae (Zerova, 1986) (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) ve Bracon sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) elde edilmiş ve bunların literatürde Acantiophilus helianthi’nin parazitoitleri olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
