Farklı Besin Bileşimlerinin $Tenebrio$ $molitor$ L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)'un Larva, Pupa ve Ergin Öncesi Gelişim Dönemi ve Ergin Ağırlığı Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada farklı besin karışımlarının $Tenebrio$ $molitor$’un larva, pupa ve ergin öncesi gelişim zamanları ile ergin ağırlığına etkisi araştırılmıştır. Denemeler 27±2ᵒC sıcaklık ve %60±5 bağıl nem koşullarında sürekli karanlık laboratuvar şartlarında yürütülmüştür. 9 farklı besin maddesi (kuru maya, mısır unu, galeta unu, tam buğday unu, kepekli un, buğday unu, ruşeym, yulaf ezmesi ve çavdar unu) farklı miktarlarda karıştırılmış ve denemelerde 5 farklı besin maddesi karışımı kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, ergin öncesi toplam gelişme süresinin birinci besin karışımında 122.93±12.13 gün, ikinci besin karışımında 96.77±7.65 gün, üçüncü besin karışımında 125.42±2.14 gün, dördüncü besin karışımında 100.47±9.85 gün ve beşinci besin karışımında ise 143.90±1.21 gün olduğu ve en kısa gelişme süresinin ikinci besin karışımında gerçekleştiği tespit edilmiştir. Farklı besin karışımlarında böceklerin pupa dönemleri arasında önemli bir fark bulunmamıştır. En kısa larval dönem ikinci besin karışımında 90.66±6.57 gün, dördüncü besin karışımında ise 93.99±9.93 gün olarak bulunmuştur. Ergin ağırlıklarında ikinci ve dördüncü besin maddesi karışımları arasındaki farklar ile birinci ve beşinci besin maddesi karışımları arasındaki farklar istatistiksel olarak önemsiz bulunmuştur. En yüksek ergin ağırlığı üçüncü besin karışımında (121.35±3.3 mg) bulunmuştur.

The Effect of Different Nutrient Compositions on the Larval, Pupal and Pre-Adult Developmental Periods and Adult Weight of $Tenebrio$ $molitor$ L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Öz

In this study the effect of different types of nutrient mixtures on $Tenebrio$ $molitor$’s larval, pupal and pre-adult developmental periods and adult weight were investigated. The trials were conducted under continuous dark laboratory conditions of 27±2ᵒC temperature and 60±5% relative humidity. 9 different nutrients (dry yeast, corn flour, fine white flour, whole wheat flour, wholemeal flour, wheat flour, wheat germ, oatmeal and rye flour) were mixed in different amounts and 5 different nutrient compositions were used in the trials. As a conclusion, pre-adult total developmental period was 122.93±12.13 days in the first nutrient, 96.77±7.65 days in the second nutrient, 125.42±2.14 days in the third nutrient, 100.47±9.85 days in the fourth nutrient and 143.90±1.21 days in the fifth nutrient compositions, respectively. The shortest developmental period was found to occur in the second nutrient composition. No significant difference was found between pupal periods in different nutrient compositions. The shortest larval periods were found in the second nutrient composition as 90.66±6.57 days and in the fourth nutrient composition as 93.99±9.93 days, respectively. In adult weights, the differences between the second and fourth nutrient compositions and the differences between the first and fifth nutrient compositions were statistically insignificant. The highest adult weight was found in the third nutrient composition (121.35±3.3 mg).
