2020
The European cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha, l., (coleoptera: scarabaeidae) is a widely distributed pest throughout Turkey. It damages many plant species and causes substantial losses in meadows, pasture, horticulture, forest and other production. In our studies, we focused on the isolation of entomopathogenic fungi for M. melolontha. The larvae were collected from the ploughing fields in 3 locations (Merkez-ekşisu, Geyikli village, Buğdaylı village; Uzümlü-çermik village; Kemah) in Erzincan province at the end of April The most abundant species was found Beauveria bassiana (53.3% of samples). Two isolates Oflecanicillum sp. (13.3%) and fusarium sp. (13.3%) were also detected. No entomopathogenic fungi were isolated from 3 of the samples (20%).
