Özet
This study was carried out during 2016-2017 for determining the natural occurrence of Ampelomyces and observing its potential as biocontrol agent against powdery mildew in the Western Black Sea and Marmara Region. The infected hazelnut leaves taken from the surveyed orchards were evaluated under the microscope for presence of powdery mildew and Ampelomyces. In addition, the effect of Ampelomyces on the formation of chasmothecia of powdery mildews and the parasitized chasmothecia were also determined. As a result of the microscopic examination, the pathogen of powdery mildew found in the leaves taken from the hazelnut orchard was Erysiphe corylacearum. As a result of these studies, it was found that the infection frequency of Ampelomyces ranged from 0 to 100% on the hazelnut leaves with powdery mildew. Similarly, the infection of Ampelomyces ranged from 0 to 87.5%. The mean chasmothecia numbers in the leaves with powdery mildew were 46 and 435 in 2016, 40.45 and 344 in 2017, respectively, with and without Ampelomyces. At the same time, it was determined that 40 and 23.33% of the chasmothecia in 2016 and 2017, respectively, selected from the samples of leaves with powdery mildew containing hyperparasite was parasitized with Ampelomyces. Future research should be aimed at determining the isolates of Ampelomyces, their biology and the possibilities of using these against powdery mildew. (C) 2018 Friends Science Publishers
