|
Continuous monitoring of pests, in addition to obtaining fundamental information, will also help to prevent timely outbreaks and reduce control costs. Pests monitoring of forest trees began in 2020 to 2022 in West-Azerbaijan Province. Six stations (forest habitats) Marishaho, Ghabre-Hussein, Darsavin, Hamran, Nallas and Mirabad were surveyed for the presence of pests. In this study, 43 species of pests were collected. Among the pests, the insects had a significant share and the Hymenoptera (Cynipidae wasps) had the highest number of species. Among these pests, Tortrix viridana L. and the galls created by Neuroterus quercusbaccarum were noticeable. The high population of Tomostethus
sp. as an emerging pest in Pardanan region (Qabre-Hussein) can be a warning sign for ash trees in the region.
