In our country, there are species related to polyphylla, Melolontha breed, which cause damage to the roots of vines with various fruit seedlings and trees.

These two harmful species are often confused. One is Polyphylla fullo (June beetle) and the other is Melolontha melolontha (May beetle). Both pests are from the Scarabeidae family, and their life cycle, damage and struggle are often very similar.

The larvae of both pests are plump, white and curly C-shaped and feed on plant roots. With the warming of the weather, adults begin to leave the soil in April-May.

May beetle (Melolontha melolontha L)

Their adult is usually red brown in color. The antennae of females are small, and the males are large and fan-shaped. The abdomen is bright black, on the sides there are 5 white spots in the form of triangles.

June Beetle (Polyphylla fullo L )

The body length of the adults is 28-40 mm. and the males have a fan-shaped antenna. The body color is completely covered on a reddish-brown background in small chambers and very often with white scales. Adults fly after sunset in June-July and tend to come to light. They usually give fertilization every 2-2.5 years.

Manas Harm Shape and Spread

They eat larvae, fruit seedlings and the roots of trees, which do the main damage. The presence of 1 larva at the root of a plant in nurseries can cause significant damage. If the nutritional damage has reached the cambium, the plant dies. Therefore, the pest is much more important for nurseries.
