The determination of the pest (APHID) (Hemiptera:Aphididae) species on vegetables and fruits in Samsun Çarşamba plain

This study was carried out in Samsun Çarşamba Plain in 2021 and 2022. Aphids were collected on different plants by sampling at different times in the Çarşamba Plain. Permanent preparations of the collected materials were made in the laboratory. Diagnoses were made as a result of examining the taxonomically important characters and comparing them with previously identified species. It was determined that 29 species of 15 genera in the family Aphididae were distributed in the research area. It has been determined that Aphis triglochinis Theobald, 1926 species, out of 29 identified aphid species, is a new record for the Turkish aphid fauna, and the number of the aphid species was increased to 633. For each determined species; yynonym, morphological and biological characteristics, the group of host plants on which they live, their distribution throughout the world, their distribution in Turkey and the plant species on which the samples collected from the research area are sampled were given. The most abundant species among 29 species determined from the study area were Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 and Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1877). It is thought that this research will contribute to the future studies on faunistic, taxonomic and control of Aphididae family species, which are economically important. In addition, it is considered that it will make an important contribution to the aphid fauna of our country.
