Adult Coccinella septempunctata, a coccinellid predator of the bean aphid Aphis fabae Scop., responded to aqueous extract containing kairomones of the prey. The crude aphidextract was topically dropped onto
either clean leaves of Vicia faba or clean Petri-dishes. After application of aqueous-extract at different aphid densities, the predator showed variations
in the attractivity and searching behaviour in comparisons with control. The variations are summarized as follows: (1) the
aqueous-extract of aphids attract or direct C. septempunctata adults to the treated vials at all aphid densities. The number of attracted or directed coccinellid adults was directly proportional
with aphid concentrations; (2) the predator C. septempunctata adult intensified its searching behaviour by increasing the total path length walked; (3) the number of turns exhibited is
significantly higher as compared with those of control; and (4) the arrested time spent by coccinellid adults with treated
plant is much more than that with clean plant at all aphid densities. The present results show that the aphid aqueous-extract
contains the active ingredients (kairomone) which induce considerable changes in the searching pattern of the predator coccinellid
adults. 相似文献

Short‐term effects of six insecticides used to control aphids were assessed in wheat on plant‐dwelling aphid predators. Products were applied to small plots of winter wheat in June or at the beginning of July and the densities of predators were estimated three days after treatment using a beating method. Insecticides were tested in 1994, 1995 and 1997 at a single dose, corresponding to their maximum recommended field rate in Belgium. Fluvalinate and esfenvalerate did not significantly reduce catches of syrphid larvae compared to the control but ladybirds were affected by these compounds. Pirimicarb was the only product tested that had no effect on ladybirds. However, syrphid larvae appeared sensitive to this product. Cyfluthrin, deltamethrin and phosalone reduced catches of both syrphids and ladybirds. Populations of lacewing larvae were unaffected by any of the insecticide treatments. Syrphid larvae were the most abundant aphid predator and Episyrphus balteatus the most common species. Ladybirds ( Coccinella septempunctata and Propylea quatuordecimpunctata) were less numerous and only a few Chrysoperla carnea larvae were recorded. These results indicate that products that are less toxic to syrphid larvae, like esfenvalerate and fluvalinate, may be preferable to other compounds to control cereal aphids in wheat in spring and early summer. However, other criteria, such as the effectiveness of the different aphid‐specific predators, cost, efficacy of the treatment and side effects on other aphid antagonists (including parasitic hymenoptera and polyphagous predators) must also be taken into consideration. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

The present study was carried out to assess the field efficacy of 10 isolates of entomofungal pathogens on management of cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora. All the tested isolates showed suppressive effect on aphid population. Two-year pooled data revealed lower incidence of 19.37–40.81 aphids/plant in the entomofungal pathogen treated plots compared to higher incidence of 88.07 aphids/plant in untreated control. Among the 10 isolates tested, Vl-8 isolate of Lecanicillium lecanii, Ma-6 isolate of Metarhizium anisopliae and Bb-5a isolate of Beauveria bassiana showed 78.01%, 77.42% and 76.91% reduction of aphid population, respectively, over control and were on par with each other. Significantly higher yields were recorded in the plots treated with Bb-5a, Ma-6 and Vl-8 isolates (1252, 1225 and 1208 kg/ha, respectively) compared to untreated control (916 kg/ha). The predatory coccinellid populations of Cheilomenes sexmaculata and Micromus timidus in entomofungal treated and untreated control plots were almost similar and found statistically non-significant, indicating the safety of fungal pathogens to these coccinellid predators. 相似文献

Lacewings and lady beetles represent two important groups of natural enemies for pest control. Kaolin is used in various crop ecosystems to reduce abiotic plant stressors and pest colonization. Compatible methods aimed at reducing abiotic and biotic plant stressors are desired in crop management systems. Therefore, this work evaluated the development and survival of Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and Eriopis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) larvae of different ages treated with kaolin at three different concentrations (ca. 60, 80, and 100 g/L) and prey consumption when treated with kaolin at a field rate of 60 g/L. The prey used were the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and the aphid Lipaphis erysimi (Kalt.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Survival rates and development durations for E. connexa larvae topically treated with kaolin at different ages were similar to those for untreated larvae. However, larvae of C. externa reduced survival and delayed development when treated with kaolin concentrations greater than the recommended field rate. Otherwise, kaolin treatments did not affect prey consumption by larvae and adults of both predator species. 相似文献

Development, survival and reproduction of Exochomus nigromaculatus (Goeze) were studied in the laboratory at four constant temperatures from 20°C to 35±1°C in 5°C increments, 60±5% r.h. and
16 h of artificial light (5000 lux). Development time from egg to adult ranged from 22.4 days at 20°C to 10.6 days at 35°C,
and required 278 degree-days above a threshold estimated to be 9.11°C. Survival was highest at 25°C and lowest at 35°C. Longevity
of females declined significantly with increasing temperatures, ranging from 120.7 days at 20°C to 46.6 days at 35°C. Mean
generation time became shorter with increasing temperatures. The intrinsic rate of increase of individuals kept at 30°C was
significantly greater than that of individuals kept at the other temperatures tested. Fourth larval instars and adults of E. nigromaculatus displayed a Type II functional response to Hyalopterus pruni densities. Searching rate of fourth instar larvae and adults was similar, but handling time was shorter for female adults.
Results obtained in this study showed that the optimal temperature for population growth of E. nigromaculatus was 30°C and this coccinellid predator may have potential as a biological control agent for H. pruni because of its feeding capacity.

以华北棉田3种常见瓢虫-异色瓢虫、龟纹瓢虫和七星瓢虫为对象,依次在室内和田间条件下研究了不同棉蚜密度对瓢虫种间集团内捕食作用的影响。结果显示,室内条件下,随着棉蚜密度的上升,一种瓢虫幼虫对另一种瓢虫卵的捕食量呈下降趋势。与不提供棉蚜的对照相比,提供20、200头棉蚜的处理的捕食量分别平均降低56.5%、92.6%。田间罩笼试验显示出了相似规律,每株蚜量为50、200头时,捕食量较对照(没有棉蚜)平均降低42.0%、56.9%。结果表明,猎物棉蚜的存在能有效降低3种瓢虫之间的集团内捕食作用;棉蚜密度越高,这种趋势越明显。 相似文献

为评价动植食性烟盲蝽对害虫的控制作用,本文通过室内试验研究了烟盲蝽在斜纹夜蛾幼不同密度虫斑块上的捕食和搜寻行为。在盆栽烟草植株上设置不同猎物密度,每株分别接0、5、10、20和30头1龄斜纹夜蛾幼虫于同一叶片上,然后接入1头烟盲蝽雌成虫,观察记录烟盲蝽的行为及其发生时间。结果表明,烟盲蝽对猎物的捕食量随猎物密度增大而增加;对猎物被捕食的时间进行Cox比例风险模型拟合表明,低密度猎物斑块上的幼虫被烟盲蝽捕食的风险大于高密度猎物斑块。烟盲蝽在猎物斑块上的行为以搜寻和刺吸猎物、植物为主,用于梳理和休息的时间较少;在低密度猎物斑块上,搜寻和刺吸植物的时间占较大比例;而在高密度猎物斑块上,刺吸猎物的时间占较大比例。烟盲蝽在斑块上的驻留时间随猎物密度增大而延长,在高密度猎物斑块上的驻留时间显著长于在低密度斑块上。研究结果说明,烟盲蝽对斜纹夜蛾初龄幼虫的捕食强度与猎物密度有关,密度越高,捕食得越多,但花费的时间更多,从而导致对高密度猎物的捕食效率低于对低密度猎物的捕食。 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Two important pests of the sweet pepper, Capsicum annuum, are the peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae, and the glasshouse potato aphid, Aulacorthum solani. Current aphid control measures include the use of biological control agents, i.e. parasitic wasps, but with varying levels of success. One option to increase parasitoid efficiency is to activate plant defence. Therefore, sweet pepper plants were treated with the naturally occurring plant defence activator cis-jasmone, and its impact upon the behaviour and development of aphids and aphid parasitoids was investigated. RESULTS: Growth rate studies revealed that the intrinsic rate of population increase of A. solani and M. persicae on sweet pepper plants treated with cis-jasmone (cJSP) was not affected compared with untreated plants (UnSP), but the positive behavioural response of alate M. persicae towards the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from UnSP was eliminated by cis-jasmone treatment 48 h previously (cJSP48). In addition, the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi preferred VOCs from cJSP48 compared with UnSP, and a significant increase in foraging time was also observed on cJSP. Analysis of VOCs collected from cJSP48 revealed differences compared with UnSP. CONCLUSION: There is evidence that treatment with cis-jasmone has the potential to improve protection of sweet pepper against insect pests. © Crown copyright 2012.

Omnivorous predatory Heteroptera are important biological control agents of pests in several crops. They can feed on plant food resources that may positively affect their biological characteristics. In the current paper, the influence of leaves and flowers on the predation rate of the omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) was investigated. Its predation rates were recorded on prey offered on (a) a single leaf of tomato, pepper or black nightshade ( Solanum nigrum), or (b) a leaf of pepper or S. nigrum plus flowers of pepper or S. nigrum, respectively. In all cases the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) was used as prey at densities of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 nymphs of the second instar. The experiments were conducted in petri dishes at 25 ± 1°C and prey consumption was evaluated after 24 h. The predation rate of M. pygmaeus was significantly higher on leaves of S. nigrum than on those of pepper at the prey density of 20 prey items. Therefore, the hypothesis that increased predation rates should occur on plants of lower suitability for development or reproduction was not supported under our experimental conditions. The flower availability did not alter the prey consumption among the prey densities on S. nigrum. However, the presence of a pepper flower caused a significant decrease in the predation rates on pepper leaves, at prey densities higher than eight prey items. Thus, pepper flowers can provide the predator with nutrient sources that may partially substitute for prey consumption, with practical implications in biological control. 相似文献

In September 1993, a colony of Harmonia axyridis Pallas (Coleoptera:Coccinellidae) was imported from France into Greece. In 1994, insectary-reared adults were released in
11 citrus orchards in four citrus-growing areas of Greece. Between May 19 and June 8, 1994, H. axyridis was recovered from a total of seven localities in three of these areas. This species was established on orange, mandarin
and sour orange trees heavily infested with Toxoptera aurantii, Aphis spiraecola and A. gossypii; its absence from the remaining four localities may have been the result of low prey densities. Twenty-three days after the
initial releases, H. axyridis larvae comprised 57.9% and 83.3%, respectively, of the aphidophagous coccinellid larval populations in two localities (on
Chios Island). In samples taken at Leonidion 43 days after the introduction release, both adult and larval populations of H. axyridis represented approximately one-third of aphidophagous coccinellid adults and larvae found, whereas the indigenous Adalia bipunctata comprised about one-half of the population. In cages placed outside the Athens laboratory, H. axyridis completed four overlapping generations annually; average longevities of 56.2, 66.8, 78.9 and 102.2 days, respectively, were
recorded for the successive generations. Adults of the 3rd and 4th generations overwintered, giving rise to the following
year’s 1st generation. Oviposition began in April and emergence of 1st generation adults occurred in mid-May. The egg-laying
activity of the females throughout the warm period of the year indicates that H. axyridis does not diapause in summer. From December until March, small aggregations (2-4 individuals) were observed within the cages
at protected sites. 相似文献

Abstract A method was devised for estimating large populations of cowpea aphid Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae) on cowpea. The densities of the aphid on stem, leaves and pod were first estimated in the laboratory for use in the field later. The densities were estimated in three arbitrary classes of infestation, viz. heavy, medium and low, determined visually based on the intensity of colonization. The densities of the aphid per cm 2 on stems were 108.50, 49.77 and 2503, while on pods they were 80.68, 44.46 and 23.20, in the three classes of infestation respectively. The aphid did not show any preference for the thickness of stems whereas young pods were preferred to old pods for colonization. The mean aphid densities on leaflets of topmost leaves were 62.10, 36–35 and 18–50, while on leaflets of top 2nd and 3rd leaves they were 124–60, 69–35 and 38.20, in the three infestation classes respectively. Comparisons made between the aphid densities on different parts of cowpea plant showed that the aphid colonized them in descending order of preference as stem > pod > top most leaf > top 2nd and 3rd leaves. 相似文献

Studies were conducted at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station research farms located at Munday (1996 test) and Chillicothe (1997 test) to evaluate relay strip crops in combination with a food spray to enhance biological control of bollworms, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover, in cotton. The relay crops included fall plantings of hairy vetch, Vicia villosa Roth, and canola, Brassica napus L., and a spring planting of grain sorghum, Sorghum bicolor L. Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., was planted between the relay crops or was isolated from the relay crops. Treatments within the two cotton systems included an untreated check plot, a plot sprayed with sugar+yeast (food spray) during summer to attract and hold predator insects, a plot sprayed with biological ('soft') insecticides for bollworm and cotton aphid control ( Bacillus thuringiensis and pymetrozine, respectively), and a plot sprayed with harsh insecticides for bollworm and cotton aphid control (zeta cypermethrin and dicrotophos or profonofos, respectively). A split-plot experimental design, with three replications, was used where whole plots included relay and isolated cotton systems and subplots were the four food/chemical treatments. Predator numbers were monitored with a vacuum sampler once a week in relay crops and cotton. Bollworms and cotton aphids were monitored visually once a week in cotton during July and August. Total predator numbers were higher in cotton adjacent to relay crops in 1996, but not in 1997. The food spray did not enhance attraction and retention of predators either year. Bollworm larval numbers were significantly higher in relay cotton, food spray plots in 1996. Bollworm larval numbers were similar in relay and isolated cotton, and larval numbers were significantly reduced only in the plot where zeta cypermethrin (harsh insecticide plot) was used. In 1996, cotton aphid numbers in the relay cotton system were significantly higher in the untreated check plots in relation to numbers in the food spray, soft insecticide, and harsh insecticide plots, which were statistically similar. In the isolated cotton system, aphid numbers were highest in untreated plots, intermediate in food spray and soft insecticide plots, and lowest in the harsh insecticide plots. Aphid numbers increased more rapidly in the harsh insecticide plots that had been treated previously for bollworm control. The food spray and pymetrozine treatments reduced cotton aphids more effectively in the relay cropping system than in the isolated cotton system. Bollworms and cotton aphids did not reach pest status in 1997. The combination of a relay cropping system with a food spray did not enhance predator numbers and did not aid in retention of predators in cotton during August. Sucrose in the food spray attracted high numbers of bollworms in 1996. 相似文献

Field studies were conducted to assess the population and the spatial dynamics of the predatory bug Macrolophus costalis Fieber (Hemiptera: Miridae) and of its prey, the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea), on tobacco. From an untreated tobacco field in Tithorea (central Greece), tobacco leaves
were collected from the upper and the lower half of the plants from June until September, in 1999 and 2000. The numbers of M. costalis and M. persicae individuals per leaf were counted. Most aphids were observed during July and August (early and mid season), with densities
dropping markedly in September. In contrast, M. costalis population densities increased late in the season (September). Significantly higher numbers of aphids were found on the upper
half of the plants than on the lower half. In contrast, significantly more M. costalis individuals were observed on the lower half. Iwao’s Regression Analysis was used in order to characterize the spatial pattern
of the two species. According to this model, in both sampling seasons, aphids and M. costalis nymphs displayed an aggregated spatial pattern, while M. costalis adults were found to be randomly distributed among sampling units. Although more M. costalis individuals were recorded on leaves with relatively high aphid densities, this species did not react numerically to changes
in prey density. In addition, a significant number of bugs were found on leaves with low aphid densities or no aphids at all.

Chilocorus bipustulatus L. (Col.: Coccinellidae) is a predatory coccinellid with a wide geographical distribution. Biological control programs should have a good understanding of the capacity of a predator to kill the target prey. Therefore, the age-stage specific predation rate and functional response of C. bipustulatus feeding on Agonoscena pistaciae (Hem.: Psyllidae) were studied at 18, 25, and 32 °C (65?±?5%RH and 16 L: 8D) to confirm its potential as a biological control agent of common pistachio psylla. The functional response at 18 and 25 °C were described by type II and type III at 32 °C. The estimated maximum attack rate (T/Th) was at 25 °C. Moreover, the highest net feeding (C0) was observed at 25 °C (3271.5 psyllids). This laboratory study, thus, suggested that the predatory coccinellid C. bipustulatus reacted to the rise of temperature by enhancing the predation rate on A. pistaciae.

The arable plant Capsella bursa‐pastoris is phenotypically variable in many life history traits, particularly time from germination to flowering. The hypothesis was investigated that, associated with this variation, there are differences in traits that influence plant quality for insect herbivores. Significant within‐species variation was found in plant growth, leaf surface characteristics and tissue nutrient composition among 21 accessions of Capsella. Short flowering time plants exhibited slow vegetative growth, relatively large shoot nitrogen content, high leaf hair densities and differences in phloem composition, compared with long flowering time plants. Insect herbivore response to distinctive trait combinations was assessed on a subset of seven accessions using the phloem‐feeding aphids Aphis fabae and Myzus persicae. Variation in aphid performance was small but significant, with 15–25% fewer nymphs produced on plant variants that exhibited greater tissue water content and low tissue C:N ratio ( A. fabae) or on variants with less phloem nitrogen ( M. persicae). The differential responses exhibited by the two aphid species to the test accessions confirmed that quantifying intraspecific plant variation is a necessary first step in understanding plant functional diversity and its impact on consumers in arable systems. 相似文献
