Özet
The adverse effects of chemical pesticides on human and environmental health have prompted scientists to seek alternative weed control methods. This study aims to identify natural enemies (insects) feeding on weeds that are prevalent in the Hakkari/Y & uuml;ksekova Basin, which boasts rich biological diversity. The survey was conducted in 2020 and 2021. A total of 56 insect species were identified on 19 weed species belonging to 10 different families. A significant portion of these species (26 species) belonged to the Coleoptera order, specifically the Curculionidae (22 species) and Chrysomelidae (4 species) families. Among the Curculionidae family in the region, it was determined that Lixus elegantulus Boheman, 1843, L . bardanae (J.C.Fabricius, 1787), L . scolopax , Larinus onopordi (Fabricius, 1787), L . minutus Gyllenhal, 1835 and Rhabdorrhynchus anchusae Chevrolat, 1854 species could suppress the growth and seed formation of host weeds. Host testing studies are needed for the use of such potential agents in the biological control of weeds.
