In this study, functional and numerical response tests, which are important components in the selection of biological control agent, were carried out. trials, amount food consumed, attack rate (a) handling time (Th) calculated for each developmental period, depending on number preys given after 24 hours. The obtained results evaluated with Holling. experiments, development predator insect was e...

The ability of aphids to detect and find sieve tubes suggests that aphids receive cues for sieve-tube recognition by taking samples. Specific natural conditions such as pH value, sugar species and concentration, viscosity, and oxygen pressure may enable sieve-tube detection. We tested the preference of Megoura viciae and Myzus persicae for potential plant-borne orientation parameters in artific...

Magnetic field plays an essential role for many species, including the migratory pest aphid. Our previous study investigated long-term exposure of static magnetic fields on growth development and productivity aphid Macrosiphum rosae, however, it is necessary to expand knowledge short-term insects a wider spectrum radiation. To achieve this, nymphs were exposed four induction at 0.065T, 0.1T, 0....

Bu çalışma 2018-2019 Nisan-Kasım aylarında Burdur İli merkezinde 16 kent parkındaki 34 ağaç ve çalı üzerindeki yaprak bitlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, Aphididae familyasından 23 cinse ait 48 tür belirlenmiştir. En fazla popülasyona sahip olan türler Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854, Cinara (Cupressobium) tujafilina (Del Guercio, 1909) Macrosiphum rosae (L., 1758) olmuştur. ber...

introduction: macrosiphum rosae is one of the most important members of the aphididae (hemiptera) which feeds on plant juices, colonizes underside of leaves,stems and buds. this pest is a polyphagous insect vastly found in europe, asia and america. coccinella septempunctata (l.) (col: coccinellidae) is the successful biological control agent against aphids in under the greenhouse and field cond...
