Stored products and food industry arthropod pests present a serious economical and medical risks for stored food, feed commodities and seeds in Turkey, and requires phytoquarantine. The rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens, 1831) is a world-wide pest of stored food products. Meanwhile; they are primarily pests of wheat. However, this pest also feed on barley, cacao, capsicum, cassava, chilies, clover, copra, corn, currants, dates, flax, illipe nuts, lucerne, millet, mustard, oats, palm kernels, peanuts, rape, rice, sorghum, soybean, sunflower, and triticale (Throne, 1987). Cryptolestes spp. are capable of being hazardous for whole kernels under suitable conditions, but can be associated with primary invaders such as Rhyzopertha dominica.C. ferrugineus generally causes mixed infestations with Tribolium castaneum. Larvae and pupae are protected from predation or cannibalism because they develop singly under the seed coat covering the germ of cereal seeds (Suresh et al., 2001). C. ferrugineus is one of the most common grain feeding insects found in grain stores in farms in Turkey. It is widely distributed throughout the World. In turkey; It is distributed many different locations. This report has been written about a new locality record of this stored product pest. Also, it is important that this species, which is basically known as stored product pests, has been found in pistachio orchards. Although not active; It has been reported that this species has predator behavior in its habitat. They are also found in the nests of Vespa wasps and under tree barks. They are facultative predators and scavengers and able to feed on many species of storage fungi (Suresh et al., 2001) . Adults as well as larvae, are cannibalistic and will consume eggs, pupae and prepupae of other species co-habiting with them (Suresh et al., 2001). For this reason it is necessary to determine the relations with the bark beetle and scale insects. as they are reported to be related in the literature (Zakladnoi and Ratonova, 1987;Thomas, 1988). Materials and MethodsSpecimens were collected from traps in Siirt Province. The light trap was operated from mid-June to mid-September in years 2008 and 2009. This study was carried out in two pistachio orchards in Siirt province. There was one light trap in each garden. Number of study orchards was changed to 5 within 8 acres (Figure 1). Each orchard was controlled every week. A 20-watt Philips energy saver white day light bulb was used. The specimens are preserved in 70 % ethanol. The collected material is deposited in

“…Although some previous studies have demonstrated the occurrence of EPF on insect pests of stored-grains and their by-products (Odour et al, 2000;Mar et al, 2012;Barra et al, 2013;Er et al, 2016;Batta and Kavallieratos, 2018), as far as we know, no commercial biopesticides based on EPF bio-agents are registered for use against the stored-product insect pests. Also, there is no integration of any effective strain (formulated or unformulated) of EPF in the management of stored-product insects.…”

In the present study, a total of 17 indigenous entomopathogenic fungal (EPF) isolates (Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill.-14, Clonostachys rosea (Link) Schroers-2, Isaria farinosa (Holmsk.) Fr.-1) obtained from soil samples collected from Antalya province (southwestern part of Turkey) and three commercial EPF products [i.e. Priority ® (Paecilomyces fumosoroseus), Nibortem ® (Verticillium lecanii) and Nostalgist ® (Beauveria bassiana)] were evaluated for their efficacy against the 7-10-day-old adults of Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Tribolium confusum du Val. (Col.: Tenebrionidae) under laboratory conditions. All the isolates and products were tested at 1 × 10 7 conidia/ml suspensions against the both insect species. The results from the single-dose pathogenicity assays showed that three B. bassiana isolates (BbDm-1, BbKp-1 and BbMp-1) caused mortalities 96.7%, 100% and 93.3% in S. oryzae, and 100%, 100% and 96.7% in T. confusum, respectively, 14 days after inoculation whereas all three commercial products achieved mortalities ranging from 56.7% and 63.3% in S. oryzae and from 56.7% and 66.7% in T. confusum. In addition, the results from molecular phylogenetic analyses based on the ITS region sequence indicated that the three effective B. bassiana isolates (BbDm-1, BbKp-1 and BbMp-1) showed a high similarity (99%) with other B. bassiana isolates in GenBank. Overall results suggest that these three B. bassiana isolates have potential for management of S. oryzae and T. confusum.

Rice blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea is a noteworthy ailment influencing rice developed zone. Use of biocontrol agents (BCA) seen as an option in contrast to the utilization of synthetic fungicide since biocontrol is an environmentally friendly plant disease controlling approach. The goal of this exploration is planning to screen natural control agents for controlling M. grisea, and considering biocontrol is a natural un-hurtful plant disease controlling original thought. 639 bacterial isolates were screened from various parts of rice tissues, of which potential biocontrol scores were distinguished by their capacities in antagonism inhibition and secreting extracellular hydrolytic protein. Biocontrol tests against M. grisea were done on 30 bacterial isolates with potential biocontrol limit after pre-choice through ARDRA and novel investigation on strains with high assessment scores. 9 BCAs with clear biocontrol activity (over 50%) in greenhouse tests were obtained. Bacillus cereus H-L out 6 and Bacillus subtilis D-S in 61 performed well in greenhouse tests. In general, correlation coefficient is 0.80 between analysis points of 35 tried BCA strains and correlation coefficient between antagonism test and biocontrol efficacy demonstrate 0.76 against M.grisea. Biocontrol efficacies results in greenhouse tests indicated positive correlation with analysis points, suggesting that the BCAs screening and method developed is adaptable for screening and controlling M.grisea.
