Determination of the parasitoids and predators of the types of harmony in the field of Adana

This study was conducted in order to determine the species that have been damaged on onion cultivation areas and their parasitoids and predators in Adana province in 2017-2018. In addition, the population development has been studied in particular Thrips tabaci and other thrips species in three different regions of Adana on onion between October 2017- May 2018. Periodic exits and periodic exits were made for surveys were carried out in three different regions [(Sarıçam, Yüreğir (Misis)], Karataş) in order to follow the population development of the harmful thrips on onion. As a result of the study, 18 species were identified from 9 families belonging to 4 orders; in these species were; Eobania vermiculata Müller, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande. The parasitoids and predators identified from 6 families of 4 orders, of which 5 species have been identified; Aeolothrips collaris Priesner, A. fasciatus L., A. ericae Bagnall, Coccinella septempunctata L., and Orius niger Wolff. Also during the study; the most common species of thrips in onions were also identified, with 81% of Thrips tabaci and 18% of Frankliniella occidentalis with high populations, while other species were only 1%. In the study conducted to determine the population density of thrips. It was determined that the difference in the density of thrips in 3 onion sowing area that were followed periodically was statistically insignificant.
