Investigations on Feeding Preferences of Adult Sitona Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Some Host Plants

Abstract

In this study, we determined the feeding preferences of Sitona callosus Gyllenhal, 1834, S. cylindricollis Fåhraeus, 1840, S. humeralis Stephens, 1831, S. longulus Gyllenhal, 1834, S. macularius (Marsham, 1802), S. obsoletus (Gmelin, 1790), and S. puncticollis Stephens, 1831 species belonging to the genus Sitona (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), black medick (M. lupina L.), white clover (Trifolium repens L.), soybean (Glycine max (L.), birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), honey clover (Melilotus albus Medik.), yellow sweet clover (M. officinalis (L.), sainfoin milk vetch (Astragalus onobrychis L.), sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) (Fabaceae) plants at 25°C±5°C in the laboratory. Plant preference experiments were established with 10 replications and as a result of analysis of variance (P>0.01), plant preference of each species was found to be significant. As a result, M. sativa and T. repens (100%) were the most preferred by Sitona species. Whereas L. corniculatus (91.43%), M. albus (87.14%), O. viciifolia (81.43%), M. lupina (78.57%), M. officinalis (60.00%), A. onobrychis (31.43%) followed, respectively. The least preferred species were G. glabra (7.14%) and G. max (1.43%).
