Abstract:

This study was discussed in order to identify the insect species found in the tomatoe in the October fields and to obtain the basic data for the fight against harm by tracking the population of the Green Curt [ Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) ] . The studies were conducted in the years 2017-2018. The work began during the fide period of tomatoes and continued during the fruit harvest period and was usually carried out once a week on the ground. As a result of the Survey study, 10 species of insects in the roasting areas of roasted tomatoes [Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae); Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel), Agrotis segetum (Den.&Schiff.(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Agriotes sp. (Coleoptera: Elateridae); Melanogryllus desertus Pall. (Orthopt: Gryllida); Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa L (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae); Locusta migratoria L., Oedipoda schochi Sauss. (Ortahoptera: Acridiade); Cailiptamus tenuicercis Tarb (Orthoptera: Catantopidae) is found. Of these, H. armigera and T.absoluta have been found to be the main harmful in the fruit period of tomatoes; Agrotis ipsilon, Agrotis segetum, Agriotes sp., M. desertus, G. gryllotalpa are second-degree harmful in the fide period. L. migratoria, O. schochi and C. tenuicercis are also determined to be important in the faunistic perspective. In population tracking studies, H.armigera bears were captured in the Feromon hole for 10-34 days. 30-44 days after the first catch, infection was observed in the tomato fruits. According to this, H.armigera bears have been warned farmers to start an invisible fight in the feromon flies. According to these recommendations, the average damage to the tomato fruit of the producers who are struggling timely against the harmful has been observed below the Economic Damage Frontier (EEA) of 3%, and heavy product losses (25-37) in the products of those who do not comply with it. Therefore, in the mentioned place, it was convinced that H. armigera and T. absoluta should be traced each year and studied on methods of fighting their populations and their bio-ecology for their struggles.
