Özet
Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) that has been first discovered in the late 1960s has spread almost all over the oriental spruce, Picea orientalis (L.) Link. forests of Turkey that is about 300 thousand ha extent, and damaged 35.3% of the spruce trees including cut trees. To date nearly eight million Rhizophagus grandis (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Rhizophagidae) have been reared during the biological control studies that have been started in 1985 and carried on continuously, and have been put in D. micans galleries in infested trees. Rapid coverage of the infested forests by R. grandis have been aimed in these biological control studies and relatively low density introductions, usually 50-100 pairs/ha have been applied. A total of 3010 trees were evaluated in 120 study plots between the altitudes 900-2100 m in Turkish spruce forests, and establishment of R. grandis …
