Previous studies on the biology of the pest in lineatella Zeller was organized in five localities in Adana, Mersin, Malatya and Bursa provinces Hatay province of South East Turkey: Alahan, revealed that the first moths appeared in April to May Delibekirli, Soğuksu and Vakıflı in 2009 and in and the flight ended in October to November Alahan, Döver and Vakıflı in 2010. For the field depending upon the [11]; [4]; [8]; [11]. However, in work pheromone baits for A. lineatella purchased the study carried out in peach orchards of İzmir an from CSALOMON® (Plant Protection Institute, earlier start of the flight - late March or early April, Budapest, Hungary) and home-made sticky Delta was found [1]. In different regions of Turkey, the pest traps of a transparent PVC foil were used. develops 2 to 5 generations [13]; [11]; [4]; [8]; [12]; [2]. Catches of A. lineatella were observed in all of [15] identified two pheromone compounds in A. the investigated sites in both years. In 2009 the lineatella females: (E)-5 decenyl acetate and (E)-5- earliest catches were registered on April 22 in decenol in a ratio of 7:1. Later some more Alahan and the latest ones on October 28 in pheromone components were identified for this Delibekirli, In 2010 the earliest catches were species but none of them was active in field [9]. observed in Alahan and Döver on April 24 and the Intensive field tests in Israel have shown that the latest ones were recorded on October 26 in Vakifli. optimal ratios of E5:10Ac and E15:10OH for Only at the latter site three well defined flight attracting A. lineatella males were 72:28 or 83:17. In periods, most probably representing three addition funnel traps was found to be more effective generations, were observed in both 2009 (end of than sticky traps at high population levels of the pest April – end of May; beginning-middle of June – while at the lower population levels the sticky traps middle-end of July and beginning-middle of were better [6]. August – middle of September) and 2010 Pheromone traps for seasonal monitoring of A. (beginning-middle of May – end of July, lineatella have already been used in different beginning of August – beginning-middle of countries where the pest occurs, e.g. Czech Reublic September and middle of September – end of [7], Bulgaria [5], Greece [3] etc. In Turkey results of October). In the rest of the sites such periods such monitoring were reported for Bursa province, were not so well defined – it seems that the first Thrace region of Turkey [8], Adana and Mersin and second generation overlapped while the third provinces, South-East Turkey [12]; [11]; [4] and İzmir one was more or less well defined. and Aydın provinces, Aegean region of Turkey [1]. The goal of our investigations was to establish the Keywords—Anarsia lineatella; Gelechiidae; patterns of the seasonal flight of A. lineatella in few pheromone traps; seasonal flight; Hatay; Turkey localities in Hatay, east Mediterranean Turkey. II. Materials and methods Sex pheromone baits for A. lineatella were I. INTRODUCTION ® Anarsia lineatella Z. is an orchard pest distributed purchased from CSALOMON (Plant Protection in West Europe, Mediterraneans, North Africa, Asia Institute, Budapest, Hungary). For the field work we minor, Near East, Iran, India, Australia and North used home-made sticky Delta traps of a transparent America [14]. The pest develops two generation in PVC foil with removable sticky layers covered with Central Europe: TANGLEFOOT® (Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA) insect glue. The pheromone baits were renewed at Czech republic [7] and Slovenia [16] and three or four five week intervals, as recommended by the producer generations in South Europe: Italy [10], Bulgaria [5] and the sticky layers – after getting contaminated. and Greece [3]. The monitoring was organized in five provinces in A. lineatella is known as a serious pest throughout south-east Turkey: Alahan, Delibekirli, Soğuksu and all regions of Turkey [2]. Its caterpillars damage on Vakıflı in 2009 and in Alahan, Döver and Vakıflı in peach, apricot, nectarine, plum, cherry, almond and www.jmest.org JMESTN42350983 2147 Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST) ISSN: 3159-0040 Vol. 2 Issue 8, August - 2015 2010; for details see Table 1.
