Notes on the Seasonal Dynamics of Polyphylla turkmenoglui Petrovitz (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) in the vineyards of Manisa, western Anatolia

Abstract

Polyphylla turkmenoglui Petrovitz, 1965 is one of the the most important pests of vineyard in the Aegean Region of Turky. Larvae of this species feed on roots of vineyard and in general, the larvae is found under the soil. For that reason, control of this pest is very difficult. The adults mostly feed on pines foliage. In the study, the seasonal activity of the adult beetles of P. turkmenoglui was studied via two light traps between May-August in 2016 and 2017 in two vineyard locations in Alaşehir and Sarıgöl districts, Manisa province of Turkey. At the end of the study, 1.552 specimens of P. turkmenoglui were evaluated. Total 362 and 1.190 specimens were collected from the localities in Alaşehir and Sarıgöl respectively. In spite of the small differences in trapping localities, the number of the specimens belonging to this species increased as of June, reached the highest level in mid-June and early July, and started to decrease after this date. No specimens were collected after the second half of July. In addition, the morphological features of this species, both male and female, were defined and illustrated.
