Abstract

Ekin tripsi Haplothrips tritici (Kurdjumov, 1912) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae)’nin popülasyon dalgalanmasının takibi, Tosunbey (arpa) ve Tarım92 (buğday) çeşitleri üzerinde bitki çıkışından üretim sezonunun sonuna kadar haftada bir kere örnekleme yapılarak 2016 ve 2017 yıllarında Isparta (Merkez)’da gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ergin ve ergin öncesindeki bireyler doğrudan örnekleme ve silkme yöntemleri kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Doğrudan örnekleme yönteminde bitki toprak üstü aksamından kesilerek alınmış ve polietilen torbalara aktarılarak laboratuvara getirilmiştir. Silkme yönteminde ise bitkilere 50 kez vuruş (toplam) yapılarak beyaz küvete düşen trips bireyleri ağız aspiratörü yardımıyla %70 alkol içeren eppendorf tüplere alınmıştır. Trips nimf ve erginleri, laboratuvarda stereo mikroskop altında ayrılmış ve bireyler kaydedilmiştir. Tosunbey buğday çeşidinde H. tritici popülasyonu (ergin, nimf ve yumurta dönemleri) üretim sezonu boyunca hem 2016 hem de 2017 yılında 13 Haziran’da sırasıyla 28,77 ve 8,85 birey/başak olarak en yüksek sayılara ulaşmıştır. Tarım92 arpa çeşidinde ise, 2016 yılında 13 Haziran’da en yüksek sayılara ulaştığı (3,22 birey/başak), 2017 yılında 25 Mayıs’ta en yüksek sayıya ulaştığı (3,2 birey/başak) belirlenmiştir. 2017 yılında trips popülasyon yoğunluğunun azalmasının 2017 yılında 2016 yılına göre daha fazla yağışlı gün yaşanması nedeniyle olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

POPULATION FLUCTUATIONS OF Haplothrips tritici (Kurdjumov, 1912) (THYSANOPTERA: PHLAEOTHRIPIDAE) IN WHEAT AND BARLEY FIELDS IN ISPARTA, TURKEY

Abstract

Population fluctuation monitoring of wheat thrips Haplothrips tritici (Kurdjumov, 1912) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) was evaluated on the Tosunbey (wheat) and Tarım92 (barley) cultivars by weekly samplings from plant emergence to the harvest season in 2016 and 2017 in Isparta (Center). Adult and nymphal stages of individuals were collected using direct sampling and shake-out methods. In the direct sampling method, the plant was cut from the above-ground part and brought to the laboratory in polyethylene bags. In the shake-out method, thrips individuals were forced to fall into a white container by making 50 strikes (totally) to the plants, were taken into the eppendorf tubes containing 70% alcohol with the help of a mouth aspirator. The thrips nymphal and adults were separated under a stereomicroscope and their presence numbers were recorded. The population of H. tritici (adult, nymph and egg stages) on Tosunbey wheat variety reached to high numbers with 28.77 and 8.85 specimens/ear on June 13 in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The highest numbers on Tarım92 barley variety was recorded as 3.22 and 3.2 specimens/ear on June 13 in 2016 and on May 25 in 2017, respectively. It is thought that the decrease in thrips population density in 2017 may be due to the number of rainy days in 2017 compared to 2016.
