检疫有害生物治理软件的开发与应用

检疫性有害生物治理（QPM）软件是由三个系统集成，即基础知识、LucID和测验。基础知识系统提供用户学习检疫法律法规、有害生物基础知识和检疫操作技术。LucID系统是通过多途径检索表让用户鉴定有害生物分类单元。LucID系统是由两个了系统构成，即Builer子系统是用于建立多途径检索表，而Player子系统是显示多途径检索表。在QPM中，LucID检索表是昆虫目检索表、植物检疫性病害检索表、植物检疫性昆虫检索表和植物检疫性杂草检索表。测验系统是考察用户对于检疫知识掌握的程度。QPM软件测试表明：运行稳定，结果可靠，系统各功能符合设计要求。它适合于我国国内检疫人员对检疫性有害生物快速鉴定及培训和自学提高，也可用于相关的检疫机构和教学领域。     

应用斯氏线虫防治桑皱鞘叶甲

应用斯氏属小卷蛾线虫Steinernema carpocapsae(A24品系）对桑皱鞘叶甲Abirus fortunei(Baly）进行了室内和田间感染试验。在25～30℃的室内条件下，1500～2000条线虫/ml的处理使桑皱鞘叶甲幼虫感染率达86%～100%。在9～10月份，先清除田间杂草，然后在桑园开沟，按45～75万条线虫/m^2的剂量施用小卷蛾线虫，对幼虫的防治效果可达88.3%～96.2%，并使次年成虫的出土数量减少46.2%～86.7%。此种防治方法，避免了在春蚕期间摘叶饲蚕与桑皱鞘叶甲化学防治的矛盾，显示出应用昆虫病原线虫防治桑皱鞘叶甲的良好前景。

The bionomics of the African armyworm Spodoptera exempta in relation to its status as a migrant pest

A multidisciplinary study was undertaken on the bionomics of the African armyworm in eastern Africa as a basis for the development of control strategies for this important pest of cereal crops and pastures. Relevant findings from studies on seasonal distribution, migration, field infestations and population cycles are reviewed in relation to understanding the causes for the onset and spread of armyworm outbreaks. It is concluded that the onset of the first outbreaks of an armyworm epidemic is caused by oviposition at high density by moths concentrated by wind convergence at storm outflows. The sources of these moths seem to be low-density populations which survive from one season to the next at sites receiving unseasonable rainfall. Some areas in Tanzania and Kenya are particularly prone to early outbreaks which are potentially critical for the initiation of a subsequent spread of outbreaks downwind throughout eastern Africa. These areas have low and erratic rainfall, and are near the first rising land inland from the coast. Below average rainfall prior to the development of outbreaks increases the probability of their occurrence. Their subsequent spread is enhanced by storms downwind which concentrate moths in flight and by sunshine during caterpillar development. Persistent wet weather reduces the spread of outbreaks. This study demonstrates the importance and value of developing and implementing a long-term monitoring system over a large region, in this case in Africa, not only for the generation of data used by the forecasters for the prediction and location of possible outbreaks, but also for obtaining a clearer understanding of the epidemiology of a highly mobile pest.

Integration of chemical and biological control systems for arthropods: Evaluation in a multitrophic context

The methods used to evaluate and categorise the effects of pesticides on beneficial arthropods are reviewed, including the potential significance of indirect, ‘sub-lethal’ activity and the importance of bioavailability of pesticides under semi-field or field conditions. Interspecific and intraspecific differences in the susceptibility of natural enemies (parasitoids and predators) to pesticides are considered, including the use of resistant strains in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems. The potential impact of pesticide resistance in the target pest on its natural enemies is also discussed. The need to assess the influence of the host plant/cultivar on the efficacy of pesticides for use in integrated control programmes (ditrophic effects) and of the possible effects of such chemicals on host plant/cultivar-pest-parasitoid systems (tritrophic effects) are then described with specific reference to the diamondback moth and key endolarval parasitoids. Finally, the potential for manipulation of tritrophic interactions to enhance parasitism by application of low doses of toxicants is demonstrated.     

Natural occurrence of and inoculation experiments withConidiobolus coronatus andConidiobolus sp. in glasshouse populations ofBemisia tabaci

Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), the sweetpotato whitefly, has only one known entomophthoralean pathogen,Erynia radicans (Entomophthoraceae). Two new pathogens have been isolated recently from a glasshouse population of this pest:Conidiobolus coronatus and another, undescribed species ofConidiobolus (Entomophthorales: Ancylistaceae). Artificial inoculation experiments revealed that eggs ofB. tabaci are practically immune to infection by either species. Second-instar larvae are highly resistant, only high doses of conidia causing between <1% and 4.6% mortality. Adults were found to be much more susceptible. Doses of 60 conidia/mm² ofC. coronatus caused average mortalities ofca 95%. The maximum mortality of adults caused byConidiobolus sp. was much lower,ca 30%, at a dose of 210 conidia/mm². The incubation period (inoculation to death) for both species, under our experimental conditions, is very short: 18–24 h forC. coronatus and 30 h forConidiobolus sp. Both fungi produced loricoconidia (conidia metamorphosed into resting spores) on cotton leaves and other dry surfaces. This ability allowedConidiobolus sp. to remain viable for 17–21 days on cotton leaves, in glasshouse conditions and in the absence of hosts, whileC. coronatus persisted for 10–14 days.

本文研究稻田全天放鸭对水稻病、虫、杂草的防治效果。试验结果表明,稻鸭共育后12和42d,共育田水稻基部飞虱、叶蝉的总量比不养鸭稻田平均减少63．8％和77．3％;稻鸭共育后10和40d,共育田杂草比不养鸭稻田平均减少50．6％和94．2％;分蘖高峰期和齐穗期的纹枯病病情指数,稻鸭共育田比不养鸭稻田分别低67．1％和52．5％。另外,稻鸭共育田的害虫天敌蜘蛛数量明显增加,比常规种稻田多1．66～2．61倍,这也显著改善了稻田的生态环境,抑制了水稻害虫的危害。     

The pathogenicity of Vairimorpha necatrix (Microspora: Microsporidia) against the tomato moth, Lacanobia oleracea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and its potential use for the control of lepidopteran glasshouse pests

A droplet feeding technique was used to feed known amounts of Vairimorpha necatrix (Kramer) spores to larvae of the tomato moth, Lacanobia oleracea (L) in order to assess the susceptibility of this lepidopteran pest to the pathogen. All first- to fourth-instar larvae died as a result of ingesting 1000 or more V necatrix spores. Two forms of death were observed, which were dependent on the dose and the age of the insect when treated. For first-instar larvae, rapid death (within 6days of dosing) occurred after ingestion of 2000 spores, whereas lower doses resulted in a proportion of larvae dying from chronic infection (microsporidiosis). For more advanced stages, increasing spore doses were required to give rapid death, such that a dose of 200,000 spores was needed to give 80% mortality within 6 days for third-instar larvae. Rapid death was not observed in fourth- to sixth-instar larvae. In all cases successful pupation and adult emergence were much reduced compared with non-infected larvae. Suspensions of V necatrix were sprayed on to tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) plants maintained in small glasshouses prior to infestation of the plants with L oleracea larvae. The numbers and biomass of pest larvae retrieved from the plants sprayed with V necatrix were significantly reduced by up to 40% and 70%, respectively, compared with plants sprayed with water (control). Similarly, plants sprayed with V necatrix showed a reduction in damage of up to 45% compared with the control plants.
