Özet:

This study aims to identify the leafy species found in the cultivated areas in the provinces of Çanakkale and Fiskesir (Medicago sativa L.) and their natural enemies, also known as the Southern Marmara Region of Turkey. Examples of sheets and natural enemies were collected from 35 different yong fields in both provinces between March and September in 2017 and 2018. As a result of the assessment of the samples, three leafty species were diagnosed: Acyrthosiphon (Acyrthosiphon) pisum (Harris, 1776), Therioaphis (Pterocallidium) trifolii (Monell, 1882) and Aphis (Aphis) craccivora Koch, 1854. In addition, a total of 25 natural enemy species have been identified, including the Coccinellidae (Coleoptera), Syrphidae (Diptera), Miridae and Nabidae (Hemiptera), Chrysopidae and Hemerobiidae (Neuroptera) families and the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). These findings have shown that the canyon areas in the provinces of Çanakkale and Fiskesir have a rich diversity in terms of both harmful leaves and their natural enemies. As a result, these data are believed to be a guide to the determination of strategies for biological combat against harmful leaves in the grown areas.
