    Egg parasitoids of green shield bug, Palomena prasina L. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in hazelnut orchards of Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Özdemir, İsmail Oğuz; Tuncer, Celal; Tortorici, Francesco; Özer, Göksel
    Green shield bug (GSB), Palomena prasina L. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an important pest of hazelnut orchards causing significant yield and quality losses in Turkey. The application of insecticides is the only option to manage GSB in Turkey; however, effective and alternative eco-friendly control practices are needed to manage the pest in the country. Surveys of egg parasitoids using frozen sentinel egg masses were conducted in the main hazelnut-growing regions of Turkey. Furthermore, the composition of native species parasitising GSB eggs and their parasitism rates were determined under field conditions. A total of 11,570 eggs were exposed to field conditions, of which 10,386 eggs were recovered from the surveyed area after 7 days in 2018 and 2019. Trissolcus cultratus, Tr. belenus, Tr. sp1, Telenomus turesis, and Te. sp1 were morphologically identified as egg parasitoids, which was molecularly confirmed based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (CO1). The parasitism rate was 9.3% for all eggs exposed to field conditions. Trissolcus cultratus was the predominant species and responsible for 70.06% of the parasitism rate, followed by Tr. belenus (15.75%), Te. turesis (10.26%), Te. sp1 (3.83%), and Tr. sp1 (0.01%). The existence of Tr. cultratus is reported for the first time in Turkey. The egg parasitoid species of GSB determined in this study witnessed the presence of natural parasitism in the natural habitat of the pest. Furthermore, it must be considered that Tr. cultratus can act as a facultative hyperparasitoid.

    Molecular characterisation and efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi against the Green shield bug Palomena prasina (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) under laboratory conditions
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021) Ozdemir, Ismail Oguz; Tuncer, Celal; Ozer, Goksel
    Green shield bug (GSB) Palomena prasina (L.) causes significant yield and quality losses in hazelnut production of Turkey. Alive and dead adults of GSB were collected from the main hazelnut cultivation areas of Turkey during 2018 and 2019. The entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) were isolated from GSB individuals and identified by DNA sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer of the rRNA. Phylogenetic analysis based on the maximum likelihood method of these sequences with reference sequences retrieved from GenBank revealed that 20 native isolates were Beauveria bassiana (6), B. pseudobassiana (1), Cordyceps confragosa (5), Akanthomyces muscarius (4), Purpureocillium lilacinum (2), Isaria fumosorosea (1), and Bionectria sp. (1). Furthermore, the isolates were tested for their efficacy against GSB adults at 1 × 108 spores mL?1 concentration under laboratory conditions. Registered bio-insecticides were applied at the same concentration to compare the efficacy of the isolates. Beauveria spp. isolates were most effective among the tested isolates with LT50 and LT90 values ranging between 3.65–6.14 and 5.26–8.25 days, respectively. These isolates caused 100% mortality in GSB adults within 6–10 days. The isolates of A. muscarius (TR-OR-1) and P. lilacinum (TR-SM-7) were highly effective and caused 100% mortality 10 and 11 days after the treatment, respectively. These results indicated that some EPF isolates obtained in this study are more promising as an alternative control agent against GSB. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    The utility of trichodermaspp. isolates to control of xylosandrus germanus blandford (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2020) Kushiyev, Rahman; Tuncer, Celal; Erper, İsmail; Özer, Göksel
    The invasive ambrosia beetle,Xylosandrus germanusBlandford (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), is a serious pest of hazelnut in Turkey, which is the biggest hazelnut producer in the world. In this study, the utility of four isolates representing differentTrichodermaspecies (T. harzianum,T. hamatum,T. asperellum, andT. atroviride) was evaluated on survival, gallery behavior and brood production ofX. germanusby effecting the symbiotic fungal development at laboratory conditions. Hazelnut branches were exposed to fungal suspensions (1 x 10(6)and 1 x 10(8)conidia mL(-1)doses) for about 30 s. and transferred to individual plastic boxes. Ten healthy females ofX. germanuswere released into each box to determine the effect of the treatment of mycoparasite isolates. The antagonistic effect ofTrichodermaspecies on symbiotic fungus was evaluated in dual-culture experiments in Petri dishes. The survival and gallery production of the pest were not directly affected by treatment of two different doses of all fourTrichodermaspecies. The growth of the symbiotic fungus, however, was suppressed significantly byTrichodermaisolates in beetle galleries as well as on Petri dishes. Moreover, symbiotic fungal growth and eggs, larvae, and pupae of the beetle were not observed in the galleries carved out by females within the branches treated with two concentrations ofT. harzianum,T. asperellum, andT. atroviride. Some of the galleries in the branches treated withT. hamatumhad very sparse mycelial growth and fewer broods compared to the control. Our findings showed that theTrichodermaspecies may be potential biological control agents againstX. germanus.
