Özet

This study was carried out between 2006 and 2007 to determine the predators of aphid species in Batman, Diyarbakyr and Mardin provinces in South-eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Aphid predator species were determined in cultivated and uncultivated fields and collected by suction tube. Also, the immature stages were collected with their preys and reared in order to obtain adults. In addition, aphid species preyed upon by each predator species were also identified. In this study, total 15 species of predator species feeding upon different aphid species were recorded in this study.
