The green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulz), which is a polyphage pest, is one of the pests
that causes economic losses in pepper production areas. In addition to general aphid damage, it vectors
virus diseases. One of the important stages of the management against pests without breaking the
ecological balance is the creation of conditions that are not suitable for them. Fertilization methods
used to increase soil fertility, especially in the plant growing stage, contribute significantly to the
optimal physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil, this enables plants grown in that soil
to be more resistant to diseases and pests. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of
fertilizer on suppression of pest fed on vermicompost, vermisuspension, and animal fertilizer treated
pepper plant depending on population development. Lowest hereditary reproductive ability,
reproductive power limit and net reproductive power were obtained from suspension and animal
manure applications, of Myzus persicae (Sulz.), which feeds on pepper plant grown in four different
applications, in climate rooms where 25 ± 1 0C, 60±5 % humidity and 16: 8 hours bright dark
conditions are provided. Thus, it was determined that the application of vermisuspension and animal
manure to the soil had a significant negative effect on the biological parameters of Myzus persicae
compared to other treatments. It is envisaged that these practices can be used as an ecological control
method for pests.
