Abstract:
Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the pest species belonging to the Cicadellidae family in the first and second crop maize fields in Adana, Osmaniye, Mersin and Hatay provinces in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Methods and Results: This study was conducted in the main and second crop corn cultivation areas in Adana, Mersin, Osmaniye and Hatay provinces in the Eastern Mediterranean Region between 2013-2014. The samplings were absorbed for 60 seconds each by the vacuum insect machine (D-Vac) at five different points of each field. The leafhoppers were sampled in a total of 236 fields in three phenological periods as vegetative, generative and ripening in the first and second crop cultivation areas of corn plant. Conclusions: At the end of the study, 32 species belonging to 5 subfamilies of Cicadellidae (Hemiptera) family were determined. Two of the species belong to Agalliinae, one to Dorycephalinae, one to Hecalinae, six to Typhlocybinae and 22 to Deltocephalinae. Distribution of species by provinces 23 species belonging to three subfamilies in Adana, 22 species belonging to three subfamilies in Osmaniye, 19 species belonging to three subfamilies in Mersin and 20 species belonging to five subfamilies in Hatay were determined. Significance and Impact of the Study: Cicadellidae species identified in the study, Asymmetropteryx pictilis (Stal, 1853), Allygus provincialis (Ferrari 1882) and Cicadula (Cypherana) intermedia (Boheman, 1845) species is the first record for the fauna of Turkey. The most collected sample in the region causes swelling, gall, stunting in growth as a result of the fact that C. bipunctella is a virus vector and the chemical secretion secreted during feeding. Therefore, it is predicted that this species may cause economically important yield losses in corn in the coming years. Along with C. bipunctella, Circulifer haematoceps, Neoaliturus fenestratus, Psammotettix striatus species known as virus vector should also be followed and the possibilities of struggle against possible populations should be investigated in the following years.
