| description | This study was conducted to determine alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) pest species of Sitona Germar (Coleoptera:
Curculionidae) in Iğdır Province located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey where alfalfa was cultivated in the years
2019 and 2020. Field surveys were carried out at 39 locations between April and November, and 6.107 adult individuals were
collected from 64 fields using sweeping nets. Based on research results, six species Sitona humeralis Stephens, 1831,
S. concavirostris Hochhuth, 1851, S. bicolor Fåhraeus, 1840, S. longulus Gyllenhal, 1834, S. callosus Gyllenhal, 1834 and
S. puncticollis Stephens, 1831 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were identified. Of these species, S. humeralis was found as the
most intense and dominant species with a rate of 81.4%. The density rates of other species were detected as 12.1%, 5.0%,
1.1%, 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively. It was determined that the adults of Sitona species populations reached the highest number
in July and October, and S. humeralis was the most intense and widespread species. |
