Özet

Surveys were conducted to identify mite (Acari) species from cultivated plants in Kahramanmaras, Turkey. Phytophagous and predatory mite species on vegetables and fruit trees were collected during 1997-2000. Phytophagous mites, Tetranychus turkestani (Ugarov and Nikolski) and Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval, were obtained from eggplant, bean, and cucumber. Predatory mites Phytoseius finitimus Ribaga and Amblyseius andersoni (Chant) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) were identified from eggplant and cucumber, respectively. Predatory mite species from mixed fruit orchards belong to the family Phytoseiidae. These species were named Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) bagdasarjani (Wainstein and Arutunjan), Euseius finlandicus Oudemans, Kampimodromus aberrans (Oudemans), Paraseiulus soleiger (Ribaga), Paraseiulus subsoleiger Wainstein, Paraseiulus triporus (Chant and Yoshida-Shaul), P. finitimus on grape, quince, walnut, mulberry, persimmon, peach, and pomegranate; Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) intercalaris (Livshitz and Kuznetzov) on fig. Typhlodromus (A.) bagdasarjani and E. finlandicus were also found on the ornamental plant Ipomoea indica (Burman) Merrill (Convolvulaceae). Tydeus californicus (Banks) (Tydeidae) was reported from an unknown host. The predatory mite, E. finlandicus was the most common phytoseiid species in orchard trees. © 2011 Academic Journals.
