Seed Beetle (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) Species, Occurrence Rate and Damage in Vetch Cultivation Areas of Eleşkirt (Ağrı) District

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the seed beetle species in vetch cultivating areas their infestation rates, and weight loss in vetch seeds in the 17 villages of Eleşkirt district of Ağrı province in 2019-2020. Seed beetle adults were collected from common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) and Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) by sweeping net. In addition, they were obtained by culturing the vetch seeds harvested from the fields. As a result of the study, 10 species belonging to the genera Bruchidius Schilsky, 1905 (1 species), Bruchus Linnaeus, 1767 (6 species), and Spermophagus Schoenherr, 1833 (3 species) of subfamily Bruchinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) were identified. Bruchus affinis J. A. Frölich 1799 and Spermophagus calystegiae (Lukjanovitch & Ter-Minassian 1957) are first found in the Eleşkirt district. Among the 5.887 adult individuals collected, the most dominant species were Bruchus brachialis Fåhraeus 1839 (52.03%) and Bruchus rufimanus Boheman 1833 (43.49%). The infestation rate and weight loss in vetch seeds were found as 1.03% and 0.51%, respectively.
