The objectives of this study were to identify suitable plant species for mass rearing and to determine some biological characteristics of the predator Serangium montazerii Fürsch (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) used in the biological control of Dialeurodes citri (Ashmead) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). The development time, mortality rate, preoviposition, oviposition and postoviposition periods and fecundity of S. montazerii were studied on various host plants using Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae). Two cotton (Çukurova-1518 and Deltapine) and two eggplant (Pala and Çukurova topağı) cultivars were used at 25 ºC and 65 ± 5% RH in growth chambers. Additionally, life tables were constructed from the data …

Although a number of investigations on the molecular genetics of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) have appeared in the literature, no such studies are known from Turkey. In order to fill this gap the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was used to assay eight populations of B. tabaci collected from cotton, protected vegetables (tomato, cucumber and eggplant) and peppermint in various locations in the province of Antalya, Turkey. Eleven AFLP primer pairs detected a total of 547 AFLP fragments in these populations and 389 of these showed polymorphism. Cluster analyses of AFLP data clearly separated these populations into two groups with …
