棉田种植诱集作物对天敌的保护及增殖作用

1987—1988年在河北省邯郸地区的试验结果表明,在棉田种植油菜及高粱诱集带,棉花主要害虫发生期内捕食性天敌数量比对照田增加25—51％;当棉田施用化学农药时,诱集带对保护天敌、促使捕食性天敌数量回升的效果明显。两种诱集作物综合种植的相互衔接,对保护、增殖天敌和控制害虫作用明显优于单一种植高粱诱集带。     

新疆棉区转Bt基因棉对棉田主要害虫及其天敌种群数量的影响

20 0 0～ 2 0 0 1年 ,在新疆棉区系统地研究了转Bt基因棉田主要害虫及其天敌的发生规律。结果表明 :转Bt基因棉对棉铃虫有良好的控制作用 ,发生高峰期百株落卵量和百株幼虫数量都显著低于常规对照 ,转Bt自控田和转Bt化防田棉蚜和棉盲蝽发生数量则显著高于常规棉对照田。在天敌方面 ,转Bt自控田和转Bt化防田较常规棉对照田 ,丽草蛉种群数量有所增加 ,而小花蝽和黑食蚜盲蝽等 5种捕食性和几种寄生性天敌数量都有所下降。转Bt基因棉田棉蚜和棉盲蝽等刺吸性害虫发生数量加重而多种天敌数量减少的趋势值得引起重视。鉴于新疆地区棉铃虫发生数量较低目前无需专门防治的特点 ,作者建议 :可以考虑推广农艺性状较好的常规棉品种并保护天敌 ,以达到控制害虫、丰产丰收的目的。     

黄秋葵田主要害虫、天敌种群动态及时间生态位分析

为了解黄秋葵田害虫和天敌的种类及种群动态变化情况,分析主要害虫和天敌间的生态调控机制,为黄秋葵田害虫的生物防控提供科学依据。通过目测法和5点取样法调查记录黄秋葵田害虫、天敌种类和数量,并对害虫和天敌间的生态位进行分析。结果表明,黄秋葵田内共发现6目13科21种昆虫,害虫优势种分别为棉蚜和棉大卷叶螟,两者在田间均呈聚集分布。天敌优势种分别为龟纹瓢虫、异色瓢虫、三突花蛛、草间小黑蛛、卷叶螟绒茧蜂、卷叶螟姬小蜂。其中蚜虫生态位宽度值最小,田间发生时间比较集中,主要在6月。棉大卷叶螟生态位宽度值最大,田间发生时间比较长,主要在7—9月。蚜虫与瓢虫的时间生态位重叠值为0.8593,瓢虫对蚜虫有明显的跟随效应,是蚜虫的优势性天敌。棉大卷叶螟与蜘蛛、卷叶螟绒茧蜂、卷叶螟姬小蜂的时间生态位重叠值分别为0.7220、0.7175、0.6797,这三类天敌对棉大卷叶螟有明显的跟随效应,对其种群具有协同控制效果,是控制棉大卷叶螟的三种优势天敌。以上结果表明,天敌对害虫在时间生态位上有一定的同步性,在田间管理时应加强对这些天敌的保护和利用,以增强天敌的自然控害功能。     

抗虫材料为主体的集成技术对稻飞虱的防控效果

本文研究了由新的抗虫材料‘中9A 07/WH1462’与控氮、晒田和天敌保护等措施有机结合的环境友好集成技术体系对稻飞虱的控制效果。结果表明,该技术体系在未施用化学农药的情况下,使稻飞虱等害虫种群数量得到有效控制,较好地保护了天敌,使稻田节肢动物群落结构得到一定优化。集成技术稻田的害虫所占比例比对照田降低了57.6%,其天敌所占比例比对照田增加了19.6%,同时集成技术稻田的水稻产量比对照田增加了10.9%。     

转基因抗虫植物对天敌昆虫的影响

迄今对16种捕食性和7种寄生性天敌昆虫个体进行的毒性测定表明，转基因植物对天敌昆虫没有直接毒性；取食了转基因植物的猎物对大部分捕食性天敌昆虫个体无毒副作用。取食了转基因植物的寄主害虫如表现亚致死反应，则对寄生蜂个体无毒副作用，甚至对寄生蜂与抗虫作物间有增效作用；如寄主表现致死反应，则对寄生蜂个体有明显毒副作用。转Bt基因棉花，玉米和马铃薯田中主要广谱捕食性天敌种群数量等于或显著高于常规田，生测中对普通草蛉的副作用并未使其大田种群受到不良的影响；寄生性天敌昆虫种群数量除在个别Bt棉田中明显减少外，在其他Bt作物田中均等于或高于常见田，除个别棉田外，未发现Bt作物田中天敌群落受到不良影响，部分研究发现Bt作物田中某些非靶标刺吸口器害虫上升为主要害虫，数量明显高于常规田，建议采用“三层次检测体系”评价转基因作物对天敌昆虫的影响。     

水稻田几种害虫调查方法的准确性比较

田间调查是一种评估害虫及天敌种群数量的科学方法。田间调查的方法很多,为比较不同调查方法之间的准确性差异,笔者曾用目测法、水盆法、粘板法、吸虫法对水稻害虫及天敌作过调查,现将结果整理如下:材料与方法调查田面积约0.5亩,品种为 IR—72,水稻正处于幼穗分化始期。调查时,将调查田分成4个小区,每个小区用下列4种方法之一调查20丛稻上的害虫及天敌数量。这4种调查方法是:1.目测法:即用眼睛直接计数水稻上的害虫及天敌数量。为使害虫及天敌不因人为     

化学农药的“扰乱”作用

化学农药的“扰乱”作用是指化学农药对农田生态体系中生物群落生态平衡的“扰乱”。这种“扰乱”的直接结果是造成害虫再增猖獗现象的发生。这种现象很早就被人们所认识,据Ripper(1956)统计,全世界已有50余种害虫发生再增猖獗。在大多数报导中,作者们都认为这种现象是滥用化学农药杀伤害虫天敌的结果。 1979年晚稻期间,我们在广西贵县八圹公社对害虫和天敌的系统调查中,也发现化学农药的这种“扰乱”作用。     

不同稻田生态系统中稻纵卷叶螟、稻飞虱及其天敌密度的差异

研究了施用化学农药防治害虫的常规管理稻田和充分发挥天敌自然控害作用为主要防治害虫措施的稻田生态系统内稻纵卷叶螟、稻飞虱及其天敌的发生消长动态,以明确不同稻田生态系统对稻区内主要害虫及其天敌的影响.结果显示,生态调控区稻田内稻纵卷叶螟和稻飞虱最大高峰期虫量仅分别为常规管理区的0.51倍和0.63倍;生态调控区稻周植被上稻纵卷叶螟和稻飞虱发生数量几乎为0,而常规管理区最大高峰期虫量分别达到 23.61头/10网和82.03头/10网.生态调控措施还可以显著增加天敌数量,生态调控区稻田内最大高峰期天敌数量为常规管理区的3.72倍,其稻周杂草上最大高峰期天敌数量为常规管理区的5倍以上;同时,天敌与稻纵卷叶螟和稻飞虱发生高峰期吻合度远高于常规管理区.说明生态调控措施能充分发挥稻田及周边非稻田生境的保益控害功能.     

太阳能光陷阱捕虫器对花生田昆虫的诱捕效果

为建立绿色高效的花生田害虫灯光诱控技术,于2019年在湖北省孝感市大悟县河口镇群建村进行试验,测定光源A（波长365 nm）和光源B（波长390 nm）太阳能光陷阱捕虫器诱捕到的花生田地下害虫、天敌昆虫和中性昆虫的类群和数量,并分析不同光源和天气对太阳能光陷阱捕虫器诱捕效果的影响。结果表明,2种光源太阳能光陷阱捕虫器共诱捕昆虫106 899头,其中地下害虫以丽金龟科和鳃金龟科昆虫居多,分别为53 338头和22 993头;诱捕的天敌昆虫和中性昆虫中分别以步甲科昆虫和水龟虫科昆虫居多,分别为1 495头和4 866头。光源A诱捕的金龟甲总科害虫、叩甲科害虫、天敌昆虫和中性昆虫数量与光源B的诱捕量均差异不显著,但光源A诱捕的蝼蛄科害虫数量显著高于光源B;晴天诱捕的金龟甲总科害虫、叩甲科害虫、天敌昆虫和中性昆虫数量与在阴天的诱捕量差异不显著,但晴天诱捕的蝼蛄科害虫数量显著高于阴天的诱捕量。表明太阳能光陷阱捕虫器对花生田害虫的诱捕效果好,对天敌昆虫和中性昆虫杀伤力小,可作为一种绿色防控手段防治花生田害虫。     

辣椒田蟋蟀种类、生活规律与综合防治的研究

辣椒田蟋蟀有5种。北京油葫芦 Teleogryllus emma Ohmaehi et Matsumura 为陕西关中灌区椒田的主要种。大扁头蟋 Loxoblemmus doenitzi Stein 为不同生态区的常见种。各种蟋蟀在陕西1年均发生1代,以卵越冬,4月下旬孵化盛期,4月下旬—9月上旬若虫发生期,8月下旬—9月下旬成虫发生盛期。8—9月是为害辣椒的关键时期。蟋蟀具有较强的趋光性、趋化性,有趋向于渠边、地边的习性,18—19时为日活动高峰。地膜、杂草孳生、生长势郁闭、麦糠(草)覆盖及混作的椒田,种群数量大,为害严重。早期田间挖窝诱蛛、插种玉水、花生、繁育天敌,中期溜施毒土,后期毒饵诱杀,是控制蟋蟀为害的有效措施。     

新疆南部地区棉田捕食性天敌种群动态

为开展棉田害虫生态控制,于2004年5～8月系统调查了新疆阿克苏棉区捕食性天敌的种群数量消长动态。结果表明:该地区捕食性天敌种类多数量大,有7目15科28种以上,高峰期天敌虫量平均达到8.86头/株;无干扰情况下能建立稳定的自然种群,对棉田发生的害虫基本上可有效控制;不同天敌田间消长动态存在差异,瓢虫和草蛉为优势种类。     

国外草地贪夜蛾化学防治技术的研究与应用

草地贪夜蛾Spodoptera frugiperda(J. E. Smith)是一种适应性和迁徙能力很强的农业害虫,并具有暴发为害的特点。几十年来,化学防治一直是防治草地贪夜蛾的重要技术措施。20世纪80年代以前,美洲国家防治草地贪夜蛾以有机磷类和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫剂为主;随后拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂得到了广泛使用;20世纪90年代中后期,美洲特别是美国推广种植转基因Bt玉米后,防治草地贪夜蛾杀虫剂的用量显著减少;近年来,甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐、乙基多杀菌素、除虫脲、虱螨脲、茚虫威、氯虫苯甲酰胺、氟苯虫酰胺、溴氰虫酰胺等一系列新型杀虫剂品种在防治草地贪夜蛾中发挥了突出的作用。伴随着不同种类杀虫剂的使用,草地贪夜蛾对杀虫剂抗性也相应地呈现出明显的变化,20世纪80年代后,美洲的草地贪夜蛾先后对有机磷类和氨基甲酸酯类杀虫剂产生了抗药性,截至2017年,美洲地区的草地贪夜蛾至少对包括氨基甲酸酯类、有机磷类、拟除虫菊酯类及Bt杀虫蛋白等不同类型共29种杀虫剂产生了抗药性;2016年,采自北美洲波多黎各的草地贪夜蛾田间种群对双酰胺类杀虫剂氟苯虫酰胺和氯虫苯甲酰胺抗性倍数最高分别达500倍和160倍。草地贪夜蛾的抗药性机制主要是解毒代谢增强和靶标基因突变。种子处理可以预防作物苗期草地贪夜蛾的为害,并且有利于天敌保护。雾滴粒径不仅影响杀虫剂对草地贪夜蛾的防治效果,还影响草地贪夜蛾对杀虫剂抗药性的发展,因此,防治田间草地贪夜蛾适宜采用细雾喷雾方式。使用得当,化学杀虫剂可以与天敌和生物杀虫剂协同增效防治草地贪夜蛾。航空施药要和地面施药联合使用才能对玉米田严重发生的草地贪夜蛾达到好的防治效果。     

Insecticide toxicity and synergism by enzyme inhibitors in 18 species of pest insect and natural enemies in crucifer vegetable crops

The toxicities of three enzyme inhibitors and their synergistic effects on four insecticides were studied by using the dry film method on field populations of 18 species of insects collected in Jianxin and Shanjie, China, from 2003 to 2005. Meanwhile, the inhibitory effects of these enzyme inhibitors on the activities of acetylcholinesterases (AChE), carboxyesterases (CarE) and glutathione-S-transferases (GST), in vivo, were also studied. In general, triphenyl phosphate (TPP) and diethyl maleate (DEM) showed low toxicities to six herbivorous pest insects, four ladybirds and eight parasitoids. Piperonyl butoxide (PB) exhibited low toxicities to the herbivorous pest insects and ladybirds, but high toxicities to the eight parasitoids. The tolerance to the insecticides in 11 pest insects and natural enemies was mainly associated with the tolerance to PB. PB showed the highest synergism on methamidophos, fenvalerate, fipronil and avermectin in nine species of pest insects and natural enemies. In general, TPP and DEM showed significant synergisms to these four insecticides in four parasitoid species. However, in contrast to their effects on the parasitoids, the synergistic effects of TPP and DEM on the four insecticides by TPP and DEM against four pest insects and one ladybird varied depending on the insect species and enzyme inhibitor. Activity of AChE, CarE or GST could be strongly inhibited, in vivo, by PB, TPP or DEM, depending on the insect species and enzyme inhibitors. From the results obtained in this study, mixed-function oxidase (MFO) was thought to play the most critical role in insect tolerances to the tested insecticides in the field. Low competition existed in the evolution of insecticide resistance in the field populations of parasitoids, as compared with herbivorous pest insects and ladybirds. Possible causes of the high synergistic effects of PB on the four classes of insecticides, based on multiattack on the activity of CarE, GST or AChE in the insect species, are also discussed.     

Toxicity of insecticides to the sweetpotato whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and its natural enemies

Efficient chemical control is achieved when insecticides are active against insect pests and safe to natural enemies. In this study, the toxicity of 17 insecticides to the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), and the selectivity of seven insecticides to natural enemies of this insect pest were evaluated. To determine the insecticide toxicity, B. tabaci adults were exposed to abamectin, acephate, acetamiprid, cartap, imidacloprid, malathion, methamidophos, bifenthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenitrothion, fenpropathrin, fenthion, phenthoate, permethrin and trichlorphon at 50 and 100% of the field rate (FR), and to water (untreated control). To determine the insecticide selectivity, adults of Encarsia sp., Acanthinus sp., Discodon sp. and Lasiochilus sp. were exposed to abamectin, acephate, acetamiprid, cartap, imidacloprid, malathion and methamidophos at 50 and 100% FR, and to water. Groups of each insect species were exposed to kale leaves preimmersed in each treatment under laboratory conditions. Mortality of exposed individuals was recorded 24 h after treatment. Cartap and imidacloprid at 50 and 100% FR and abamectin and acetamiprid at 100% FR showed insecticidal activity to B. tabaci adults. Abamectin at 50 and 100% FR was the least insecticidal compound to the natural enemies Acanthinus sp., Discodon sp. and Lasiochilus sp. The present results suggest that abamectin at 100% FR may decrease B. tabaci field populations but can still be harmless to predators. Implications of these results within an integrated pest management context are discussed.     

Short-term toxicity of insecticides residues to key predators and parasitoids for pest management in cotton

The cotton ecosystem comprises various arthropod pest and natural enemies with simultaneous occurrence irrespective of growing region. The use of insecticides with reduced impact on natural enemies is a major goal to conserve them and, therefore, to reduce populations of arthropod pests. The survival of twelve key natural enemies for cotton pest management exposed to dried residues using the highest and lowest recommended rates representing old and new insecticides recommended to control cotton pests (chlorantraniliprole, chlofernapyr, spinosad, lambda-cyhalotrin, methidathion, pymetrozine, and thiamethoxam) was determined. The study included parasitoids [Aphelinus gossypii Timberlake, Bracon vulgaris Ashmead, Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson), Telenomus podisi (Ashmead), Trichogramma pretiosum (Riley)] and predators [Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville, Euborellia annulipes (Lucas), Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas), Solenopsis invicta Buren), Orius insidiosus (Say), Chrysoperla externa Hagen and Eriopis connexa (Germar)], with two different cohorts for these last two species. All natural enemies exposed to methidathion exhibited 100% mortality. Thiamethoxam, lambda-cyhalothrin and chlorfenapyr also caused high mortality of P. nigrispinus, S. invicta, H. convergens, O. insidiosus and all tested parasitoids. Among the natural enemies, E. annulipes exhibited high survival when exposed to all tested insecticides, except methidathion. Chlorantraniliprole and pymetrozine caused overall lower impact on the natural enemies tested followed by spinosad; hence, they are options for cotton pest management. Furthermore, the outcomes highlight the implication of knowing the background susceptibility of the species tested when addressing the impact of insecticides on natural enemies.     

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service research on biological control of arthropods

During 1999-2001, ARS scientists published over 100 papers on more than 30 species of insect pest and 60 species of predator and parasitoid. These papers address issues crucial to the three strategies of biological control: conservation, augmentation and introduction. Conservation biological control includes both conserving extant populations of natural enemies by using relatively non-toxic pesticides and increasing the abundance of natural enemies in crops by providing or improving refuges for population growth and dispersal into crops. ARS scientists have been very active in determining the effects of pesticides on beneficial arthropods and in studying movement of natural enemies from refuges into crops. Augmentation involves repeated releases of natural enemies in the field, which can be inoculative or inundative. Inoculative releases are used to initiate self-propagating populations at times or in places where they would be slow to colonize. ARS scientists have studied augmentative biological control of a variety of pest insects. The targets are mostly pests in annual crops or other ephemeral habitats, where self-reproducing populations of natural enemies are not sufficiently abundant early enough to keep pest populations in check. ARS research in augmentative biological control centers on methods for rearing large numbers of healthy, effective natural enemies and for releasing them where and when they are needed at a cost less than the value of the reduction in damage to the crop. ARS scientists have researched various aspects of introductions of exotic biological control agents against a diversity of pest insects. The major issues in biological control introductions are accurate identification and adequate systematics of both natural enemies and target pests, exploration for natural enemies, predicting the success of candidates for introduction and the likelihood of non-target impacts, quarantine and rearing methods, and post-introduction evaluation of establishment, control and non-target impacts. ARS scientists have published research on several general issues in biological control. Among the most important are the mechanisms affecting mate- and host-finding and host specificity.     

新疆春播玉米节肢动物群落结构及时序动态

通过探讨春播玉米节肢动物群落结构和时序动态,旨在为玉米田天敌保护利用及玉米害虫的合理防控提供基础资料。采用网捕法和目测法探明春播玉米节肢动物群落结构和时序动态。调查共获节肢动物7632头,隶属3纲12目45科66属70种,亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis（Guenée）和玉米三点斑叶蝉Zygina salina Mit为本地区害虫优势种,天敌优势种则为多异瓢虫Hippodamia Variegata（Goeze）、方斑瓢虫Propiylaea quatuordecimpunctata（Linnaeus）、黄褐新园蛛Neoscone doenitzi（Boes.et Str.）、中华草蛉Chrysopa sinica Tjeder和十三星瓢虫Hippodamia tredecimpunctata（Linnaeus）。新疆北部春播玉米田节肢动物群落中植食性亚群落结构特征指数N、H'、J'、D与总群落相近,优势种害虫亚洲玉米螟和玉米三点斑叶蝉的大量发生致使玉米田节肢动物群落特征指数出现显著变化,是影响群落稳定的主要因素。主成分分析表明,捕食性节肢动物物种数、个体数和植食性节肢动物物种数累计贡献率可达61.47%,是影响该地区玉米田节肢动物群落结构变化的主导因子。灰色系统分析则表明,优势种天敌方斑瓢虫、草蛉、黄褐新园蛛种群数量的变化与优势种害虫玉米螟和玉米三点斑叶蝉种群数量的变化关联度最高,其关联度分别为0.7719和0.8778、0.7898和0.8309、0.9637和0.8312。天敌的发生与害虫种群数量的变化具有显著的跟随效应,这为合理保护利用天敌防控玉米害虫具有重要意义。     

棉蚜自然天敌种群数量动态和控制蚜害的研究

调查了德州地区棉蚜主要天敌(瓢虫、草蛉、食虫蝽和蜘蛛类)5—8月份的种群数量动态。棉蚜天敌在不防治棉田内,虽能建立稳定的种群,但不能有效地控制蚜害;在化防田内由于喷药频繁,被杀伤严重,控制蚜害作用较小;在综防田内,基本上能建立自然种群,结合其它防治措施对控制蚜害的作用较明显,经济效益显著。
