Abstract :The study was conducted in Konya Province of Turkey in 1996 to observe the population development of aphids on 8 winter (Kıral 97, Bülbül 89, Efes 3, Erginel 90, Karatay 94, Obruk 86, Tokak 157 and Yesevi 93) and 2 spring (Bilgi 91 and Zafer 160) barley varieties. In winter barley varieties, both diversity of aphid species and population level of them were drastically lower than on the spring varieties. Totally six different aphid species [ S. avenae, D. noxia, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) , R. maidis (Fitch), Metopolophium dirhodum (Wlk.) ve Sipha elegans Del Guercio ] were occurred in spring barley while only Sitobion avenae (F.) and Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov) were determined in very small number in winter barleys. From spring varieties, on Bilgi 91, the aphid population level was two times lower and population period was shorter than Zafer 160.Keywords : Kışlık ve yazlık arpa çeşitleri, yaprakbitleri, populasyon gelişimi.
