Özet: The lucerne leaf beetle, Gonioctena fornicata (Brüggemann, 1873) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is an important pest of lucerne in Europe and several parts of Turkey. Its damage and thus the loss of yield due to this pest insect is unknown. This study was conducted at Çukurova University, Faculty of Agriculture Research and Application Farm in Adana Province, Turkey in 2017 and 2018. It was found that the pest had one generation per year. Especially the larvae of G. fornicata was found to feed extensively on the leaves, shoots, flowers and seeds of lucerne, almost turning them into leafless. In the untreated plots, there was about 148% loss in both fresh weight and dry weight in 2017 caused by this pest species and up to 27% loss in 2018. Gonioctena fornicata negatively affected the fresh and dry weight yields. It is estimated that the yield losses were 3.48 t/ha. Although the yield difference between the treated and untreated plots was lower than expected, the cost of loss of yield was still high. Economic loss in the untreated plot was about 4250 TRY/ha (about 545 USD/ha as of December 2020).
