Determination of Pest Insect Species at Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) Orchards in Adıyaman and Siirt Provinces, Turkey

Abstract

This study was carried out in order to determine the insect pest species found at the orchards of Adıyaman and Siirt provinces. The studies were carried out in the Şirvan district of Siirt and Adıyaman’s the Central, Kahta and Samsat districts, where pomegranate production is intensively carried out through the years of 2017 and 2018. Samplings was carried out at the pomegranate orchards at least two weeks interval between April and October. Visual control, knock and insect rearing methods were used to obtain the insect species. According to the results from the study; a total of 42 insect species were obtained from the orders of Orthoptera (1), Thysanoptera (9), Hemiptera (18), Coleoptera (8) Lepidoptera (4) and Diptera (2). Among the identified pest species, Aphis punicae Passerini (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Apomyelois ceratoniae Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were determined as the main pest species. Dioryctria simplicella Heinemann (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Arcyophora dentula Lederer (Lepidoptera: Nolidae), Chrysobothris affinis (F.), Acmaeodera wethloi Obenberger (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and Zaprionus indianus (Gupta) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) were determined for the first time in Turkey's pomegranate production areas.
