Abstract:

Ekin Kambur insects, Zabrus spp. Clairville, 1806 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) is one of the world’s main pests of grain plants, and this damage is quite difficult to control. In this study, two local entomopathogen nematod (EPN) species [Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) and Steinernema feltiae Filipjev, 1934 (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae)] Zabrus spp. The control potential against larva was assessed by two land conditions tested in 2015. EPNs were applied to the surface of the soil at 1 x 106 IJs m-2 concentration in mid-April, and the number of living larva (AT) was assessed 14 days after the application. In addition to this, the EPN’s Zabrus spp. Zabrus spp to determine its effectiveness on larva. -Damaged grain plants are counted short after application (14 days AT) and long-term (6 months AT). Tested EPNs, live Zabrus spp. The number of larvaes was found to be reduced by at least 50% in both trials compared to control treatments. Although there was a significant reduction in the number of Zabrus spp.-damaged grain plants with the application of EPN, this reduction did not produce a significant effect. The existing findings of the tested EPNs are Zabrus spp.It shows that they have a good potential in sustainable struggle.
