Development, Fecundity, And Prey Consumption Of Neoseiulus Californicus (Mcgregor) Fed Tetranychus Cinnabarinus Boisduval, Oktay Kuştutan, İbrahi̇m Çakmak
Development, Fecundity, And Prey Consumption Of Neoseiulus Californicus (Mcgregor) Fed Tetranychus Cinnabarinus Boisduval, Oktay Kuştutan, İbrahi̇m Çakmak
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The development, fecundity, and prey consumption of the Aydın Neoseiulus californicus population (McGregor) feeding on Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval were studied in the laboratory at different temperatures, 65 ± 10% RH, and a 16 h L:8 h D cycle. The total development period (egg to adult) decreased linearly with increasing temperature (0.012 × T - 0.093; R^2 = 0.950). The total development threshold obtained from regression analysis was estimated to be 7.8 °C. Neoseiulus californicus required, on average, 83.3 DD to complete its development from egg to adult. Mean total and daily fecundity were highest at 25 °C, and were statistically …
Influence Of Temperature On Life Table Parameters Of The Predaceous Mite Euseius Finlandicus (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), İsmai̇l Kasap
Influence Of Temperature On Life Table Parameters Of The Predaceous Mite Euseius Finlandicus (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), İsmai̇l Kasap
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This study determined the differences in development time, survival, and fecundity of Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) when feeding on Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae) together with birch pollen at 16, 20, 25, and 30 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 10% RH, and 16:8 photoperiod under laboratory conditions. Total development times for E. finlandicus were 29.48, 18.15, 7.28, and 5.90 days for females and 28.16, 17.54, 7.03, and 5.81 days for males at 16, 20, 25, and 30 ± 1 °C, respectively. Total egg production was highest (30.53 eggs) at 25 °C, whereas daily egg production was highest (1.80 eggs) …
Effect Of Superparasitism On The Development Of The Solitary Parasitoid Chelonus Oculator Panzer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Hi̇lal Tunca, Neşet Kilinçer
Effect Of Superparasitism On The Development Of The Solitary Parasitoid Chelonus Oculator Panzer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Hi̇lal Tunca, Neşet Kilinçer
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The egg-larval parasitoid Chelonus oculator Panzer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary endoparasitoid. The effect of superparasitism on the development of C. oculator was investigated on a host, Cadra cautella Walker (Lepidoptera : Pyralidae) at 25 °C, 60%-70% R.H., and 16:8 h (L:D) photoperiod. The development time of C. oculator from egg to adult was related to parasitism level from 42.5 ± 0.19 days under single parasitism to 48.4 ± 0.57 days under triple parasitism. The emergence rate of the parasitoid decreased as the parasitism level increased. In addition, the dry mass of adult parasitoid was significantly affected by the superparasitism. …
The Biology And Fecundity Of The Citrus Red Mite Panonychus Citri (Mcgregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) At Different Temperatures Under Laboratory Conditions, İsmai̇l Kasap
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The developmental time and fecundity of Panonychus citri (McGregor 1916) (Acari: Tetranychidae) on Washington navel sweet orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.) leaves were determined at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 10% RH, and a 16:8-h (L:D) photoperiod under laboratory conditions. Total development time of P. citri females was 37.2, 16.6, 12.2, 9.8, and 9.0 days at 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 ± 1 °C, respectively. Total and daily egg production levels of P. citri were highest at 25 °C (25.6 and 2.1 eggs), followed by 20 °C (22.1 and 1.8 eggs) and 30 …
