标题:DETERMINING THE CRITERION AND BIOTECHNICAL STRUGGLE METHODS AGAINST FORFICULA AURICULARIA L. (DERMAPTERA: FORFICULIDAE) HARMING IN APRICOT ORCHARDS IN TURKEY
摘要:This study was carried out to determine the damage and to investigate biotechnical struggle methods of Forfícula auricularia Lin. (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) that damage the apricot orchards of Malatya province in 2014-2016.As a result of the studies, it was determined that F. auricularia spent as adult and different nymph periods under the soil, rocks and the shells of the old trees in the apricot orchards and in the surrounding areas during the winter. Adults, eggs and nymphs of F. auricularia were first found under rocks beneath the tree bark of old trees and in various sheltered places in nature between the end of March and the third week of April. It had been determined that The density of F. auricularia has been increasing since May in the follow-ups of cardboard traps set up in trees in the apricot orchards.It was determined that F. auricularia has been fed on the fruits and formed the highest population during the period until harvest from the second week of June when the fruit began to be sweetened in observations made. Along with that, cardboard traps, pit traps and biological insecticide studies have been conducted to develop an alternative struggle against pests.
