Harmful and Benefical Insects Species Determined in Sugar Beet Areas in Çayırlı District of Erzincan Province and Short Biology of Spodoptera exigua (Hbn.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

This study was conducted between 2019-2020 in Erzincan Province Çayırlı District to reveal beneficial and harmful species the biology of Spodoptera exigua (Hbn.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), which is an important pest sugar beet cultivation area. The area designated as “Erzincan Beet Production Area” (EÇPÜA) has many areas. production obtained from these fields changes according years, but also noteworthy for both region our country. area, does not only bind farmers their field villages, provide work employment opportunities all family members, it plant with its by-products are processable. At end study, five different insect belonging orders Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera 22 [Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, Hippodamia variegata (Goeze), Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata (Linnaeus), Syrphus sp., Sphaerophoria scripta turkmenica Bankowska, Eristalinus aeneus (Scopoli), Tipula Cotesia glomerata Exeristes roborator (Fabricius), Endromopoda phragmitidis (Perkins), Enicospilus merdarius (Gravenhorst), Exetastes laevigator (Villers), Itoplectis viduata Lissonota (Loxonota) histrio (Fabricius,) flavovariegata Lucas, Ophion pteridis Kriechbaumer, Pimpla spuria Scambus nigricans (Thomson), brevicornis Sinophorus nitidus (Brischke) Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens)] Neuroptera, Diptera Hymenoptera were determined on plant. Among species, (Hbn.), known "caradrina" been observed biological stages Agrotis segetum (Schiff.) secondary status have followed.
