Abstract

Agriculture has become one ofthe greatest sources of employment for mankind from the past to the present. Theproducts obtained in this area provide a significant contribution to thenational economies. However, the number oforganisms causing the decline in crop yield is quite high. The preferred applications forcombating harmful organisms are the use of chemical insecticides. However, the high level of sideeffects of these insecticides led researchers to alternative study areas. Insecticide production throughnatural products that is under the title of biological struggle, is withinpopular areas. Lichens are also materials for natural insecticide sources dueto their unique constituents in the constructions. For many years, the toxiceffects of lichens utilized in many fields ondifferent insect species have been tested through their extracts and purecomponents. At this point, it is noteworthy that while high yield is obtainedfrom lichens, the studies are predominantly carried out on the extracts.In thelight of all these studies, it will be contributed to biological insecticideproduction stage by increasing of the studies performed on determination of theactive components in lichens showing insecticidal activity on different speciesand on mechanisms of action in insects.

Özet

Tarım, geçmişten günümüze kadar insanoğlu için en büyük istihdam kaynaklarından biri olmuştur. Bu alanda elde edilen ürünler ülke ekonomilerine önemli ölçüde katkı sağlamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, ürün veriminde düşüşlere sebep olan organizma sayısı bir hayli fazladır. Zararlı organizmalar ile mücadele konusunda tercih edilen uygulamaların başında kimyasal insektisit kullanımı gelmektedir. Fakat bu insektisitlerin yan etkilerinin yüksek düzeyde olması araştırmacıları alternatif çalışma konularına yönlendirmiştir. Biyolojik mücadele başlığı altında ele alınan, doğal ürünler aracılığı ile insektisit üretimi popüler alanlar içerisinde yer almaktadır. Likenler de yapılarında bulunan kendilerine özgü bileşenleri sayesinde doğal insektisit kaynaklarına malzeme olmaktadır. Yıllardır birçok alanda yararlanılan likenlerin gerek ekstraktları gerekse saf bileşenleri aracılığı ile farklı böcek türleri üzerinde toksik etkileri test edilmektedir. Bu noktada, likenlerden yüksek oranda verim elde edilmekle beraber çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak ekstraktlar üzerinde gerçekleştirildiği dikkat çekmektedir. Tüm bu çalışmalar ışığında, farklı türler üzerinde insektisit aktivite gösteren likenlerdeki aktif bileşenlerin ve böceklerdeki etki mekanizmalarının tespiti üzerine gerçekleştirilecek çalışmaların artırılması ile biyolojik insektisit üretim basamağına katkı sağlanacaktır.
