Secondary host changing between aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and their parasitoids in wheat fields of Southeast Anatolian Region
Abstract :This study carried out in wheat growing areas and natural areas that
nearby of wheat fields of Diyarbakır (Yenişehir, Central villages, Plant
Protection Research Institute experimental area) and Şanlıurfa (Akçakale,
Siverek) provinces in 2014-2015. Studies were conducted during April, May and
June by sampling once a week, while in November and February months by sampling
once a month, by irregular controlling of 60 different locations. According to
the results; 24 aphid species of 18 genera and 10 parasitoid species of 6 genera
were determined on 20 plant species [Alopecurus myosuroides Huds; Amaranthus retroflexus L.; Avena
fatua L.; Avena sterilis
L.; Carduus crispus L.; Centaurea solstitialis L.; Cirsium vulgare (Savi) A-Sw.; Daucus carota L. var. carota; Galium
aparine L.; Lens culinaris Medicus;
Lolium perenne L.; Lupinus albus L.; Onopordum acanthium L.; Orobanche sp.; Papaver rhoeas L. Silybum
marianum (L.) Grtn.); Sonchus
oleraceus L.; Triticum aestivum L. Emd. Fri & Pao.; Triticum durum Desf.; Vicia sativa L.]. Determining of Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and
their parasitoid species including specialization of parasitoids to both aphids
and host plants, demonstrated once more the importance of richness of natural
enemies in Southeast Anatolian region in terms of biological control
