Özet

Seasonal flight activity and larval infestation of Kermania pistaciella Amsel (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) were studied in four Uzun pistachio orchards in Çiftlik village, Karkamış district, Gaziantep Province, during 2018–2019. In 2018, Orchard I monitored with five delta pheromone traps captured 6,230 adults, while Orchard II monitored with four funnel traps captured 8,356 adults. First adults and peak captures occurred on April 8 under 18.4°C and 29.7% relative humidity, followed by a sharp decline in populations with no adults recorded after April 29. In 2019, four orchards were monitored. Orchard I had 5,091 adults captured in delta traps and 2,909 in funnel traps; Orchard II had 3,699 adults in delta traps and 1,841 in funnel traps; Orchard III had 3,833 adults in delta traps and 2,291 in funnel traps; Orchard IV had 2,607 adults in delta traps and 5,468 in funnel traps. First adults appeared on April 10, with peak captures on April 24 under 13.9°C and 57.5% relative humidity, and populations declined by May 2. Delta traps consistently captured more adults than funnel traps, indicating higher monitoring efficiency. Larval infestation declined from 2018 to 2019, with Orchard I decreasing from 30.0% to 12.8%, Orchard II from 12.5% to 7.71%, and Orchards III and IV exhibiting 8.37% and 5.45%, respectively. These findings demonstrate the influence of temperature and relative humidity on adult emergence and peak activity, and provide essential information for optimizing monitoring and integrated pest management strategies.

Abstract

Seasonal flight activity and larval infestation of Kermania pistaciella Amsel (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) were studied in four Uzun pistachio orchards in Çiftlik village, Karkamış district, Gaziantep Province, during 2018–2019. In 2018, Orchard I monitored with five delta pheromone traps captured 6,230 adults, while Orchard II monitored with four funnel traps captured 8,356 adults. First adults and peak captures occurred on April 8 under 18.4°C and 29.7% relative humidity, followed by a sharp decline in populations with no adults recorded after April 29. In 2019, four orchards were monitored. Orchard I had 5,091 adults captured in delta traps and 2,909 in funnel traps; Orchard II had 3,699 adults in delta traps and 1,841 in funnel traps; Orchard III had 3,833 adults in delta traps and 2,291 in funnel traps; Orchard IV had 2,607 adults in delta traps and 5,468 in funnel traps. First adults appeared on April 10, with peak captures on April 24 under 13.9°C and 57.5% relative humidity, and populations declined by May 2. Delta traps consistently captured more adults than funnel traps, indicating higher monitoring efficiency. Larval infestation declined from 2018 to 2019, with Orchard I decreasing from 30.0% to 12.8%, Orchard II from 12.5% to 7.71%, and Orchards III and IV exhibiting 8.37% and 5.45%, respectively. These findings demonstrate the influence of temperature and relative humidity on adult emergence and peak activity, and provide essential information for optimizing monitoring and integrated pest management strategies.
