“…In a field study conducted in pistachio growing areas in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, A. minki was reported as a beneficial insect (Bolu, 2002). Another field study conducted by (Yanik & Unlu, 2015), where A. minki was released to control the pistachio psyllid in pistachio orchards in Şanlıurfa, Turkey and was found to give a remarkable reduction (82%) in the population density of A. pistaciae. Consequently, A. minki is considered an effective native natural enemy for biological control of this insect pest.…”

Anthocoris minki Dohrn, 1860 (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) is a potential predator for biological control of the pistachio psyllid, Agonoscena pistaciae Burckhardt & Lauterer, 1989 (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) in pistachio orchards. This study aimed to examine the impact of mating behavior on the reproductive output of A. minki. The study was conducted under the laboratory conditions in 2015 at Harran University. Males and females of A. minki used in the experiments were obtained from laboratory-reared population and female mating behavior and fertilization capacity of males were investigated. In the multiple mating, matings made after the first copulation had an adverse effect on egg deposition. Mated females deposited significantly fewer eggs in the presence of males than in their absence. Male fertilization capability was evaluated by enabling a single virgin male to mate sequentially with three virgin females in different intervals between mating events. Regardless of the length of interval between mating events, the number of eggs laid by the first-mated female was significantly greater than the number of eggs laid by the second-or thirdmated females. The study suggests that achievement of economic and large-scale rearing of A. minki can be done if the post-mating interactions that negatively influence the female reproduction and longevity are understood and handled appropriately.

“…Based on data obtained from insect release studies in pistachio orchards, Yanık et al (2007) reported that A. minki was effective for controlling pistachio psylla and was responsible for decreasing the pest population at the economic injury level. Detailed studies regarding the biology, ecology, and release of A. minki for controlling pistachio psylla are available in the scientific literature (Yanik & Unlu, 2010;2011a, b;Yanık et al, 2007;2011a, b;.…”

SummaryThe goal of this study was to evaluate the biological parameters of the predator Anthocoris minki Dohrn (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) over various periods of growth at low temperatures. Storage studies were conducted for the following three stages: 1) 1-3 stage nymphs, 2) 4-5 stage nymphs, and 3) adult stages. All stages of the predator were stored at 7, 11, and 15 ± 1°C for 10, 20, 30, and 40 days under continuous scotophase. During storage, food eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) were added once a week. Following storage, the predator was transferred to long day periods (16:
