Host Plant Preferences of Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Determined in Çanakkale Province of Turkey
Journal Title: ÇOMÜ Ziraat Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) were identified on different host plants belong to about 300 plant family including herbaceous plants, trees, shrubs and ornamental plants in cultivated and uncultivated areas throughout world. Most of aphids migrate from primary to secondary host plants throughout their life cycle. To determine primary and secondary host plants of aphids, and the source of the contamination in agricultural areas are very important for deciding of their control strategies. In this study, frequency of the aphid species was calculated by percentage ratio of the sampling number to total sampling points. Biodiversity Pro V7® package program was used for the analysis of the Cluster similarity of the host plant families. The aim of this current study to determine the aphid species and their host plants which are found in both cultivated and uncultivated areas between the years of 2013-2015 in Çanakkale Province. As a result of this study, a total of 24 different host plant families have been determined. Consequently, Rosaceae was found the most preferred family for 9 aphid species and it was followed by Asteraceae with 7 aphid species. The rest of the families were arranged as Adoxaceae, Apiaceae, Apocynaceae, Araliaceae, Berberidaceae, Brassicaceae, Cistaceae, Fabaceae, Juglandaceae, Lythraceae, Malvaceae, Oleaceae, Pinaceae, Poaceae, Polygonaceae, Portulacaceae, Rutaceae, Salicaceae, Solanaceae, Typhaceae, Ulmaceae and Vitaceae. It is thought that to determine the host plants around the agricultural areas where overwintering places of aphid species are may be effective to determine different control strategies to minimize the application of different chemicals against these pests.
