Türkiye'de hurma ağaçlarında (Phoenix dactylifera L.) yeni bir zararlı böcek: Kırmızı hurmakoşnili, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Hemiptera: Phoenicococcidae)

Antakya’ya yurt dışından getirilen hurma ağaçlarında Kırmızı hurmakoşnili, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Hemiptera: Phoenicococcidae) tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca bu böcek Adana ve Antalya’da da bulunmuştur. Ağaçlardan alınan yaprak sapı örneklerinde bulunan Kırmızı hurmakoşnili kolonileri laboratuvarda incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada zararlının kısaca tanınması, dünyadaki yayılış alanları, konukçusu, biyolojisi, zarar şekli ve mücadelesi konularında bilgiler derlenmiştir. Türkiye’deki doğal düşmanları olarak Chilochorus bipustulatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) ile teşhisi henüz yapılamamış bir Cecidomyiid (Diptera) larva, nimfler üzerinde beslenen ve bazı Acarina türlerinin yumurtalarla beslendikleri tespit edilmiştir. Bu zararlının yayılmaması bakımından karantina tedbirlerinin önemi vurgulanmıştır.

A new pest of date palm trees (Phoenix dactylifera L.): The red date scale, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Hemiptera: Phoenicococcidae) in Turkey

The red date scale, Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell was first detected on datepalm trees in Antakya, Antalya and Adana, Turkey. Colonies of the red date scale, collected from the base of petioles infested trees, were examined in the laboratory. Short description, distribution in the world, host plant, biology, damage and control measures of the pest were summarized. Chilochorus bipustulatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), an unidentified Cecidomyiid (Diptera) larvae as larval predators, and some Acarina species as egg predators were found. To limit the distribution of the pest in Turkey, importance of quarantine measures were emphasized.
