Bu çalışma, Adana ili (Yüreğir ve Karataş ilçeleri) seralarında domates güvesi, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) ve parazitoidi Bracon (Habrobracon) didemie (Beyarslan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)’nin populasyon gelişimini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Sörvey çalışmaları, 2024 İlkbahar, 2024 Sonbahar ve 2025 İlkbahar üretim sezonlarında periyodik aralıklarla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tüm örneklerde Tuta absoluta saptanırken, populasyon yoğunluğu özellikle 2025 ilkbahar sonlarında artarak yaprak başına 2.71 larva yoğunluğuna ulaşmıştır. Parazitoit B. (H.) didemie populasyonu ise bahar aylarında konukçu yoğunluğuna bağlı olarak artış göstermiş ve 2024 yılı Mayıs ayı sonunda, örneklenen seralarda toplam 29 birey ile sezonun en yüksek yoğunluğuna ulaşmıştır. İlkbahar sezonunda zararlı ile parazitoit populasyonları arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli pozitif bir ilişki saptanmış, sonbahar döneminde ise anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Sonuçlar, B. (H.) didemie’nin bölge faunasında doğal olarak bulunduğunu ancak popülasyonunun mevsimsel etkilere bağlı olarak değiştiğini göstermiştir.

Population monitoring of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) and its parasitoid Bracon (Habrobracon) didemie (Beyarslan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in tomato greenhouses in Adana province

Öz

This study was conducted to determine the population development of the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), and its parasitoid, Bracon (Habrobracon) didemie (Beyarslan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), in greenhouses in Adana province (Yüreğir and Karataş districts). Surveys were carried out periodically during the 2024 spring, 2024 autumn, and 2025 spring seasons. While Tuta absoluta was detected in all seasons, its population density peaked particularly in late spring 2025 with 2.71 larvae per leaf. The population of the parasitoid B. (H.) didemie increased in the spring depending on host density and reached its seasonal peak at the end of the 2024 spring season with a total of 29 individuals in the sampled greenhouses. Statistically significant positive correlation was detected between pest and parasitoid populations in the spring season, whereas no significant relationship was found in autumn. The results indicate that B. (H.) didemie occurs naturally in the regional, but its population fluctuates depending on seasonal effects.
