The flies on mushrooms cultivated in the Antalya-Korkuteli district and their control

Öz Over the last two decades, mushroom growing has become one of the most dynamically developing fields of agriculture in Turkey. In parallel with this development, populations of some arthropod pests, especially mushroom flies belonging to different families of the order Diptera, have steeply increased in recent years. Sciarid, phorid and cecidomyiid flies, especially Lycoriella ingenua (Dufour) (Sciaridae) and Megaselia halterata (Wood) (Phoridae) being the most common species in the Antalya-Korkuteli district (South-Western Turkey), affected the cultivation of white button mushroom [Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Imbach], the most commonly grown mushroom species in Turkey. Recently, mushroom scatopsid flies (Scatopsidae) have arisen as a serious new threat in the Antalya-Korkuteli district. It is surmised that the infestation by these flies has affected approximately 70% of the mushroom growing cellars in the district. Until now, a total of 15 fly species (Sciaridae: 3, Phoridae: 1, Cecidomyiidae: 8 and Scatopsidae: 3) was detected to cause damage in the cultivated mushrooms in the Korkuteli district.
