Abstract:

 The study was conducted to determine the population development and contamination status of tomato moth Tuta absoluta Meyrick Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae in open field and greenhouse tomato production in Antalya province. Population monitoring was carried out in 2011-2013 in open fields in Korkuteli district and in greenhouses in Aksu district. The number of tomato moths caught in the pheromone traps hung to determine the number of adults in the open field was low at the beginning, but gradually increased until the end of the season. The highest number of moths caught in the traps in the open field was 355 per trap, and this number was 395 per trap in the greenhouse tomato crop. While the maximum larval population was 29.90 larvae per plant in the summer period in open field tomato cultivation, the highest larval density was 13.30 larvae per plant in the spring period in greenhouse tomato cultivation. According to our results, it was found that the pest has the ability to survive and lay eggs in the winter months in greenhouse tomato production in Antalya province.

 Çalışma, Antalya ilinde açıkta ve örtüaltı domates yetiştiriciliğinde Domates güvesi Tuta absoluta Meyrick Lepidoptera: Gelechiidaenın popülasyon gelişimi ve bulaşıklık durumunu belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Populasyon takibi 2011-2013 yıllarında Açık alanda Korkuteli ilçesi, örtüaltında ise Aksu ilçesinde yapılmıştır. Açık alanda ergin sayılarını belirlemek amacıyla asılan feromon tuzaklarda yakalanan Domates güvesi sayısı, başlangıçta düşük seviyelerdeyken sezon sonuna kadar kademeli bir şekilde artış göstermiştir Açık alanda tuzaklarda yakalanan en yüksek kelebek sayısı 355 iken, örtüaltı domates yetiştiriciliğinde bu sayı 395 olarak belirlenmiştir. Maksimum larva popülasyonu ise açık alan domates yetiştiriciliğinde yaz döneminde bitki başına 29.90 larva iken, örtüaltı domates yetiştiriciliğinde ise en yüksek larva yoğunluğu bahar döneminde bitki başına, 13.30 larva olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgularımıza göre zararlının Antalya ili örtüaltı domates yetiştiriciliğinde kış aylarında da hayatta kalma ve yumurta bırakma kabiliyetine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.
