Abstract
In this study, relationship of aphids and their predator Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) populations on seven potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) varieties (Sante, Marabel, Marfona, Latona, Provento, Binella, Orla) was determined in ADANA (Balcali) where potato is produced as out of season (December- beginning of May) in 2010. Myzus persicae (Sulz.), Aphis gossypii Glover, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) (Hemiptera:Aphididae) were detected on patoto as aphid species. The predator species Coccinella septempunctata L., Hippodamia variegata Goeze (Coleoptera:Coccinellidae), Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera:Chrsopidae) and parasitoid species Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were also detemined on these aphids. In almost the same period, increasing and decreasing of aphid populations on different varieties were observed. When preferences of different potato varieties of Aphididae were examined, statistical differences found negligible. C. carnea have been found particularly effective to suppress the Aphididae populations at the end of the season.
