It has been determined by various studies that soil-borne beneficial microorganisms that
promote plant growth increase plant productivity, protect the plant against pathogenic
organisms and provide direct or plant-mediated defenses against herbivorous. In this study, it
was aimed to determine the effect of some beneficial fungal agents on the table parameters of
Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) mediated by pepper plant. In the experiments carried
, the roots
of pepper seedlings were treated with a mixture of Tricoderma harzianum and various
develop in pots. After the plants developed for 4-6 weeks, the growth, reproduction and
viability rate of M. persicae in leaf cage cells were determined on these plants. According to
these data, age and period-specific life history parameters of the pest were calculated.
According to the results of the analysis, the intrinsic rate of increase (r) (0.3291 and 0.3135
day-1) and the finite rate of increase ( ) (1.3898 and 1. 3686 day-1) were statistically higher
and the development time (6.47 and 7.00 days) was shorter, while the mean generation time
(T) (12.86 and 13.42 days), net reproductive rate (R0) (68.98 and 67.10 female/females/day)
and adult life time (40.00 and 41.80 days) were found to be insignificance. According to the
results of this study, it was determined that the mixture of beneficial T. harzianum and various
mycorrhizal agents promoted the population dynamics of M. persicae compared to the control
group. In the control studies to be carried out for this pest, the positive effects of using these
beneficial microorganisms together in terms of plant health and their negative effects due to
their pest population increasing effects should be taken into consideration. Additional studies
should be carried out to further investigate the effects of the use of these microorganisms
individually on plant health and the pest.
