| Abstract:
The population was monitored during the spring, autumn and single crop growing seasons in Izmir and single crop growing season in Mugla. Leaf miners were seen at the beginning of the crop and then disappeared. Whitefly increased locally in early autumn and late spring. Aphids appeared only- in the early spring when the relative humidity was high. Spidermites appeared at the end of the crop in a low density. Thrips were found at a very low level at the beginning of the crop. Adults of the Cicadellidae species were captured on yellow traps but any adult and nimph was found on the plants. Aculops lycopersici (Massee) was seen at the end of the crop in the spring. Noctuids were found at the beginning of the crop at a low infestation level in autumn. It was found that parasites controlled leaf miners. predators controlled whitefly, A. lycopersici, thrips, aphids, spidermites, noctuids naturally. | |
