Abstract
The present study was conducted in Ankara province on a grape variety called Kalecik karası in vineyards between 2013-2014. It’s aimed to determine biological criteria such as Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775) Lep .: Tortricidae]'s adult flight activity, the duration of its presence in nature and the number of generation, which is essential for the control, as well as the damage status. As a result of the study, it was determined that the first adults of L. botrana were caught in April and the first peak of the pest was seen in the last week of April in both years. It was observed that the second peak of the pest occured in the second-third week of June and it produced two generations per year. It was determined that the flight of adults ended in September. European grapevine moth adults were found to be active for about six months. In both years, during the control and counting for vegetation and harvest period, although there were European grapevine moths in the vineyard where Kalecik karası grape variety was harvested, there were not any eggs and larvae and there was not any damage on vines during harvest.
Highlights
The results of this study clearly demonstrate that it is not necessary to use of chemicals to control L. botrana in the vineyards of Kalecik karası
In vineyards of Kalecik karası, it can be advised to farmers not to apply chemical control against L. botrana through the provincial directorate’s technical staff
Since Kalecik karası grape variety occupies an important place in wine-making in our country and is consumed as a table grape variety, demonstrating that there is no need for spraying application under integrated pest management against L. botrana will contribute to risk-free agriculture for human health and environment wıthout any insecticide residue
Summary
Turkey ranks among the top countries in terms of vineyards and grape production.The grape production area comprises of 4.054.307 decares, and 2.050.000 tons are produced for table grapes, 1.599.000 tons for dried grapes and 451 000 tons for wine production, making up the total production of 3.600.000 tons (TUIK, 2019).Ankara province provides 1.2% of Turkey's wine production.Despite the decline in vineyard areas across Turkey, viticulture in Kalecik district of Ankara province has shown a rapid development with public and private sector investments in the field of viticulture.Kalecik karası is a standard quality grape variety, suitable for red wine, produced in the Central Anatolia Region (Karataş et al 2010).While many diseases and pests require chemical control in vineyards, Lobesia botrana is the main pest in vineyards (Davydov 1976; Altındişli & Kısmalı 1996; Anonymous 2008).
