2.1. Stock culture of Pseudaulacaspis pentagona View in CoL
In the study, 4–5 years old saplings of Morus alba (white mulberry) and M. nigra (black mulberry) were used as hosts of MS. The saplings were grown in 74 L plastic pots in the same proportions of sand, perlite, and soil mixture, and 3 mulberry saplings with the same characteristics were prepared from each mulberry species for each trial.
P. pentagona used in the experiment was collected from M. alba that was heavy infested with MS in Ankara park areas, and placing mulbery cuttings (each 10 cm) on top of the potato tubers and waiting for the eggs to hatch. Crawlers (mobile first nymph stage) moved from the branches and settled on the potato tubers. The stock culture was established on potato tubers in the laboratory conditions which were adjusted to 26 ± 1 ℃ temperature, 60% ± 5% relative humidity, and 16: 8 h (light: dark) (2000–2500 Lux light intensity) conditions in Ankara University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection. When MSinfested potatoes started to deteriorate, new potato tubers were added to ensure continuity in the colony .
