“…All vegetable plants were randomly sampled to establish the rate of natural parasitism. During this study, while determining the rate of parasitism, total parasitized individual numbers obtained from the colonies including mummy was compared with total aphid numbers in the sample (Praslicka & Huszar 2005).…”

Aphid species, their parasitoids and predators on vegetables (bean, cucumber, eggplant, melon, okra, pepper, pumpkin, tomato and watermelon) grown in Erzincan province, Turkey were determined. Surveys were carried out at weekly intervals from the seedling period until the end of the harvest period in Central and Üzümlü districts of Erzincan province in 2014-2016. 30-40 plants were randomly selected in the surveys and all parts of plants were investigated with a magnifier. Ten aphid, seventeen predator and seven parasitoids species were found. According to results, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was first recorded as a host of Aphelinus mali (Haldeman) (Aphelinidae: Aphelininae) in the world. In addition, parasitism rates of aphids were also established. The mean parasitism rate changed between 17.5% in 2015 and 4.39% in 2016. The relationship between parasitism rate, total parasitized aphid number and total aphid number were found. According to the analysis result, there was a very weak or a high positive correlation (r= 0.126-0.721) between total aphid number and total parasitized (mummified) aphid number, and not a correlation existed between parasitism rate and total aphid number as for years.

“…All aphids and mummies were counted on each tiller. Aphids were identified at the species level and mummy shape and colour were used to identify the parasitoid genus (Aphidius, Ephedrus or Praon - Praslicka et al 2003). Parasitism rates at each date, for each field and distance from the edge were estimated by dividing the total number of mummies counted on a sampling line by the sum of aphids and mummies on this line.…”

“…Result from this study shows that pollinators of T. ulmifolia visit between 9.00 a.m to 11.00 p.m where the temperature relatively at 28 o C to 33 o C. Parasitoid and natural enemies such as Ichneumonidae, Chalcididae, Scoliidae and Reduviidae are also presence in abundant during the same period of time. The adult parasitoids are mostly active during daytime especially on warm and sunny days [38]. At this time, flower is observed to perfectly flourish, attracting visitation of insect.…”

Beneficial flowering plants play a vital role in attracting beneficial insects such as parasitoid that controls insect pests. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of two species of flowering plants as beneficial hedgerow plants, we identify insects communities of T. ulmifolia and M. malabathricum, which generally grown on roadside. We also compared the insects community of both plants based on time of the day. A total of 5,029 insect individuals were collected through three sampling occasions from five sampling stations of T. ulmifolia and five sampling stations of M. malabathricum. Chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference (χ2=37.3848, df=1, P<0.05) between the composition of insect communities on M. malabathricum and T. ulmifolia. The insect visiting M. malabathricum were similar at both night and day while T. ulmifolia attracted different insect community depending on the time of the day. The results suggested that different plant species would attract a different community of insects. T. ulmifolia success in attracting the visitation of beneficial insect but its effectiveness is limited to a short period of time. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of M. malabathricum as beneficial plant is yet illuminated.
