Çam Keseböceğine Karşı Biyolojik Mücadelede Kullanılan Calosoma sycophanta L.’nın Kitle Üretimi ve Araziye Salımı

Bu çal›flma Calosoma sycophanta L.’n›n kitle üretimi amac›yla laboratuar koflullar›nda (23 °C, %60-65 nem, fotoperiyod 8:16 saat (gece: gündüz), %85-90 toprak nemi) 2001-2004 y›llar› aras›nda Kahramanmarafl bölgesinde yürütülmüfltür. C. sycophanta erginlerinin bölgede topraktan ç›k›fllar› 21 fiubat -7 Mart tarihleri aras›ndad›r. Erginler topraktan ç›kt›klar›nda çam keseböce¤i larvalar› ile beslenmektedirler. Yumurta b›rakma periyodu 20-25 gün, aç›lma süresi ise 6-13 gün sürmektedir. C. sycophanta üç larva dönemi geçirmekte, birinci larva dönemi 7-11 gün, ikinci larva dönemi 8-12 gün üçüncü larva dönemi 15-18 gün pupa dönemi ise 9-16 gün sürmektedir. Üretimi yap›lan bireyler pupa döneminde 25-30 cm derinli¤indeki nemli topra¤a hektara 200-250 birey b›rak›lmaktad›r.

Mass Production and Release of Calosoma sycophanta L. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Used against the Pine Processionary Moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Schiff.) (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae), in Biological Control

This study was conducted to determine the mass production of Calosoma sycophanta L. under laboratory conditions (23 °C, 60%-65% RH and a photoperiod of 8:16 (L:D) h, 85%-90% soil humidity) between 2001 and 2004 in Kahramanmaraş. The adult emergence period of C. sycophanta started on 21 February and extended until 7 March (from soil). When they emerged, they fed on caterpillars of the pine processionary moth. The egg laying period continued for 20-25 days with a hatching period 6-13 days, Three larval instars were observed. Duration of the first instars was 7-11 days, of the second was 8-12 days, and of the third was 15-18 days. The pupal stage of the beetle continued for 9 to 16 days. During this application pupae should be put into humid soil 25-30 cm deep. Approximately 200-250 laboratory reared individuals were released per hectare.
