Abstract

This study is on the flight activity and population density of Orthotomicus erosus (Wollaston, 1857), which is one of the most important pests in Pinus brutia Ten. forests of Izmir Province. It was conducted between the years of 2010-2012 by using funnel-type pheromone traps and pheromone dispensers that contained 1500 mg methyl butanol + 100 mg cis-verbanol + 30 mg lpsdienol. For this aim, six experimental sites were established in different regions in consideration of different altitude levels. As the result of the study, it was seen that O. erosus adults started to fly in the beginning of March, when the average temperature was 7
