间种牧草杂交杏李园节肢动物群落的结构及动态

对间种牧草杂交杏李园节肢动物群落结构与组成的系统定位观察与分析表明:杂交杏李园害虫种类有蚜虫类、叶螨类、食心虫类、介壳虫类、吮吸类、食叶类等,危害最为严重的是蚜虫类、叶螨类和食心虫类,这三种害虫的数量直接影响果实的产量。蓄草果园的天敌种类主要有蜘蛛类、瓢虫类和草蛉类,这三类天敌对主要害虫具有一定的控制作用,而且对维持果园害虫及其天敌之间平衡起着重要作用。对各功能类群的数量结构、生态优势度和多样性分析表明,间种牧草果园节肢动物群落结构比较稳定,各种群落指标相对平衡,天敌自然控害效果比较明显。分析认为果园有害生物综合治理应坚持大量利用自然天敌为主的生态控制的途径,不断优化果园生物群落结构、提高群落多样性和均匀度,减少群落生态优势度,增强群落自身调节控害能力,辅助使用农药,逐步达到生态控制果园有害生物的目的。     

梨园芳香植物间作区蚜虫与天敌类群的相互关系

在梨园中设置不同种类的芳香植物间作处理区、自然生草区和清耕区(对照),研究不同芳香植物间作区蚜虫及其天敌类群组成、种群时序动态与时间生态位指数的变化,并进行灰色关联分析。结果表明,不同芳香植物间作处理区蚜虫及其天敌类群数量、时序特征、时间生态位宽度与重叠指数存在明显差别。在梨树年生长周期中,薄荷、孔雀草和罗勒间作区的梨黄粉蚜、绣线菊蚜、梨二叉蚜与天敌类群的时序变化趋势相似,但发生的时段及数量与对照区存在显著差异。各个处理区中3种蚜虫的时间生态位宽度指数均较小,而天敌类群的时间生态位宽度指数较大;芳香植物间作区中蚜虫(孔雀草间作区的绣线菊蚜除外)及捕食性天敌的生态位宽度指数均大于对照区。各个处理区中蚜虫及(与)天敌之间的时间生态位重叠指数差异明显。各处理区中不同的天敌类群对某一特定的蚜虫的关联度相似,而不同间作处理区某一特定的天敌类群对3种蚜虫的关联度存在明显差异。芳香植物间作改变了梨园生态环境中的蚜虫及其天敌类群数量和组成,害虫种群数量明显减少,益害比(1∶1)明显大于自然生草区(1∶2.1)和清耕区(1∶3.3)。结论:芳香植物间作能有效降低蚜虫种群数量,是一种农业防治蚜害的优选方法。     

苹果园主要害虫及其天敌生态位和集团分析

在生态调控苹果园,对烟台红富士苹果树上主要害虫及其天敌的垂直生态位、水平生态位和时间生态位进行了分析,计算了三维生态位重叠值。通过聚类分析分别对害虫和天敌集团进行了划分,将叶片害虫群落分为4个集团,分别是“绣线菊蚜”、“金纹细蛾”、“叶螨集团”和“喜食嫩叶害虫集团”;将叶片天敌群落分为4个集团,包括“喜食蚜虫天敌集团”、“专性食螨天敌集团”、“金纹细蛾寄生蜂集团”和“蜘蛛集团”。通过昆虫群落集团的划分,探讨了叶片昆虫群落结构的组织和种间关系。分析了主要害虫与灭敌在树冠内的空间生态位和时间生态位重叠,表明天敌和害虫在空间上的同域性和时间上的同步性较强。     

红富士苹果园害虫与天敌群落的定量分析

应用多元分析方法对烟台市牟平区红富士苹果园害虫与天敌群落进行了定量分析,采用最优分割法将苹果害虫与天敌群落的时序结构分为5个阶段,并分析了各个时序段害虫及天敌的发生特点.对害虫亚群落、捕食性天敌亚群落和寄生性天敌亚群落进行了主成分和因子分析,明确了不同时期起主要作用的害虫及其天敌种类.典型相关分析表明,主要害虫及其天敌类群之间存在显著相关性,其中金纹细蛾与其寄生蜂、绣线菊蚜与其寄生蜂、山楂叶螨与其专一性捕食性天敌深点颏瓢虫和东方钝绥螨之间的相关性高.     

卵形异绒螨对梨二叉蚜的控制作用

卵形异绒螨(Allothrombium ovatum)是蚜虫的重要天敌,其对果树蚜虫的控制效果,之前尚无报道.经笔者多年在徐州市果树站试验基地的研究发现,在长期利用绒螨及其它无公害措施进行病虫害防治的生防园,早期蚜虫不需要进行化学防治,利用生防措施就能控制其危害,而常规对照园期间需喷两次药.2003年的试验表明,在生防园用5%溴氰菊酯1500倍防治梨二叉蚜(Schizaphis piricola Matsumura),虽然药后1天防效达95.1%,但20天后只有71.7%,这时生防园地控制效果达96.7%.经几年的试验表明,化防容易引起蚜虫产生抗性,费时费工,增加了成本,果面残留农药多,对环境污染严重,且树上种群数量的消长变化猛增猛减,极不稳定.而生防园的害虫种群数处于低水平之下,不会对果树造成伤害.同时,利用自然天敌控制害虫,成本低,不污染环境,无副作用.     

天敌竹盲走螨在纯竹林中种群数量锐减的原因研究

本项研究针对我国南方毛竹林,近年害螨突发性成灾的现象,进行调查与研究,结果表明：纯竹林害螨总量平均高于混交林289．28％,混交林天敌竹盲走螨(Typhlodromus bambusae Ehara)总量平均高于纯竹林263．56％;混交林益、害螨比例为1：13,而纯竹林益、害螨比例是1：118。研究表明纯竹林地面垦复、劈草,使得以芒草为生的芒草裂爪螨(Schizotetranychus mistanthi Saito)种群数量急剧下降,导致乡土优势种竹盲走螨缺乏中间食物,难以维持种群。在毛竹——芒草混生的毛竹林(含其它树种)由于毛竹上害螨和林下芒草裂爪螨受到共同天敌——竹盲走螨的控制维持着稳定的益、害种群数量,虽然有害螨,但不成灾,在纯竹林由于地面垦复、劈草破坏原有已形成的生物链,导致毛竹害螨失去天敌控制而突发性成灾,证明纯竹林中天敌锐减是导致毛竹害螨暴发成灾的重要因素。     

截形叶螨药剂防治对比试验

截形叶螨(Tetranychus truncatus Ehara)在云南昆明主要为害大棚花卉,尤其对月季(Rosa chinensis)为害严重。使用玻片浸液法,选用6种化学杀螨剂和1种植物叶面保护剂对该叶螨进行室内药效测定;同时,选取真除螨、主力和植物叶面保护剂等3种杀螨剂实施田间防治试验。结果表明,室内施药48h后,真除螨2 000、3 000倍液杀螨效果达100%;田间喷药3d后,真除螨4 000倍液能达到30%的防治效果,可有效降低害螨数量。建议每年截形叶螨为害严重的5～11月期间,在保护地栽培的月季上连续施用真除螨。害螨发生高峰期前,可使用植物叶面保护剂,减少害螨的取食。     

黄玛草蛉捕食米蛾卵的功能反应与数值反应

针对天敌控害潜能评价和天敌昆虫大量饲养的基础理论问题,以一种重要的捕食性天敌黄玛草蛉Mallada besalis Walker捕食米蛾卵的功能反应和数值反应研究为例,开展研究。结果表明,黄玛草蛉幼虫对米蛾卵的捕食功能反应符合HollingⅡ型方程,其捕食量在一定范围内随着猎物密度的增加而增加,最后趋近一个稳定值,且与是否供水有关,供水时3龄幼虫的理论捕食能力最大,为3205.1粒卵/d。数值反应研究结果表明,不同密度的米蛾卵对黄玛草蛉的生长、发育、繁殖有着显著的影响。随着猎物密度增大,黄玛草蛉幼虫的发育速率、雌虫的产卵量、孵化率及雌性比增大,成虫的寿命延长,最后趋于稳定。米蛾卵密度5、10、20、30、50卵/d。分别是黄玛草蛉幼虫存活、幼虫化蛹、成虫羽化、后代卵孵化及世代延续的临界值。并讨论了功能反应和数值反应研究在天敌利用研究中的侧重点和重要性。

The effects of weed strips on aphids and aphidophagous predators in an apple orchard

Selected weeds were used to attract antagonists of apple aphids in an apple orchard near Berne, Switzerland. In the year before the experiment, in 1991, the apple aphidsDysaphis plantaginea (Pass.) andAphis pomi (DeGeer) and aphidophagous predators were homogenously distributed in the orchard. In April 1992, weed strips were sown between tree rows and along the border parallel to the first and the last row of trees in one part (the other part served as control). In both parts of the orchard, randomly chosen tress were controlled visually in weekly intervals in 1992 and 1993. During flowering of weeds more aphidophagous predators were observed on the apple trees within the strip-sown area than in the control area. The most abundant and permanent aphidophagous predators were spiders, predaceous Heteroptera, Coccinellidae, and Chrysopidae. Both species of aphids were significantly less abundant in the area with weed strips than in the control area during the vegetation period. The effects of the weed strips on aphidophagous predators, and those of predators on aphids, are discussed.     

Field Releases of the Predatory Mite Neoseiulus fallacis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Canada, Monitored by Pyrethroid Resistance and Allozyme Markers

The predacious phytoseiid mite Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) is an important agent for the biological control of spider mites in deciduous fruit orchards in North America and Canada. It would be helpful to monitor the fate of released individuals to improve the results of introductions of the predators in biological control trials. We have used two types of genetic markers, pyrethroid resistance and allozymes, for indirect estimation of the survival of N. fallacis introduced in an apple orchard in Ontario, Canada. Mite samples were submitted to toxicological tests. The polymorphism of four enzymes was studied in individual females using an isoelectric focusing technique. A mite sample was taken from the field, mass-reared in the laboratory, and selected for permethrin resistance. This strain was released on several apple trees treated with permethrin, and mite samples were collected from the same trees 10 to 90 days later. The genetic composition and the insecticide resistance level of this sample were compared to those of two other samples from trees where mites had not previously been released, either in the same orchard or in a neighboring block. A control susceptible strain was compared using mites collected earlier from trees on the same site but outside the present experiment. The mites collected from the release trees and those from the strain used for the releases were found to be genetically closely related, as judged from a small genetic distance, and from similar levels of insecticide resistance in both samples. The control samples from the nonrelease trees were genetically distant from these and displayed low resistance levels. These results indicate that the released genotypes established and persisted in the release trees for the period of the experiment. The utility of the two approaches in assessing the fate of released natural enemies is discussed.     

不同地表覆盖方式对苹果园土壤性状及果树生长和产量的影响

以黄土高原9年生红富士果园生态系统为对象,研究不同地表覆盖模式（清耕、生草覆盖、地膜覆盖、秸秆覆盖和砂石覆盖）对果园土壤性状及果树生长和产量的影响.结果表明：生草覆盖土壤水分剖面分异最低,砂石覆盖土壤水分剖面分异最高;砂石覆盖提高了根层水分含量,有利于果树对水分的利用.不同地表覆盖模式土壤热量状况变化显著,处理间差异明显,极端最高温度下降,但地膜覆盖处理夏季地温超过果树根系生长的上限温度,对果树根系生长和生理功能发挥不利.除地膜覆盖外,其他地表覆盖模式均能提高土壤CO₂释放速率,其中生草覆盖的效果最为显著.不同地表覆盖模式对果树枝条类型比例及产量影响较大,砂石覆盖处理的中短枝比例和果实产量最高;生草覆盖处理的果实产量最低.因子分析结果表明,对于黄土高原沟壑区盛果期果园,砂石覆盖处理是较为适宜的地表覆盖模式.     

Flowers for better pest control? The effects of apple orchard ground cover management on green apple aphids (Aphis spp.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), their predators and the canopy insect community

Effects of habitat diversification through ground cover management on green apple aphids (Aphis spp.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), woolly apple aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum [Haussmann]) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), their insect natural enemies and the most abundant canopy insects (in the Neuroptera, Fulgoromorpha, Cicadomorpha, Heteroptera, Coleoptera and Formicidae) were studied in an apple orchard over 6 years. The composition and diversity of the main functional groups of canopy insects was also compared. Habitat diversification was achieved by changing ground cover conditions within the orchard. In the treatment termed FLOWER, annual and/or perennial flowering plants were sown in the alleys of an apple orchard. Other ground cover treatments were weed-free bare ground (termed BAREgr) and orchard plots with alleys of mowed grass (termed GRASS), which served as control treatments. We found no evidence that habitat diversification enhanced the biological control of green apple aphids compared to the control treatments. However, the greater plant cover in FLOWER resulted in increased woolly apple aphid infestations compared to BAREgr or GRASS. The abundance of various beneficial or neutral canopy insects – Chrysoperla carnea sensu lato (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae) adults, leafhoppers and treehoppers, planthoppers, herbivorous (non-apple feeding) beetles, dipterans and parasitoid wasps – also increased in FLOWER as compared to BAREgr, with GRASS being intermediate between the other treatments. Significantly greater species richness and diversity was found in FLOWER than in BAREgr for most of the functional groups sampled, although the number of predacious insect species was similar among treatments. The composition of the studied functional groups showed high similarity in FLOWER and GRASS, but these treatments were different from BAREgr. Effects of groundcover management on the dominant insect species are discussed.     

苹果园主要害虫生态调控体系的研究

通过在果园地面种植牧草或花生、油菜等覆盖作物,改善了生态环境,为天敌种群提供了良好的栖息条件和充足猎物,促进天敌群落的早期发展,在4－6月份使树上天敌总量增加60％,地面捕食性天敌增加20倍以上,不仅使苹果蚜、螨高峰期推迟,并使高峰值分别降低39％和1倍以上,使前中期害虫得很好控制。良好的果园生态环境也可促 使周围农田生态系中的天敌因季节性变动向果园迁移,并通过不同生态系之间的运动,扩大天敌种群,达到控制中后期害虫的效果,对优势天敌因季节性变动向果园迁移,并通过不同生态之间的运动,扩大天敌种群,达到控制中后期害虫的效果,对优势天敌在果园生态系中的作用亦做了研究和评价,认为在天敌－害虫相互作用系统中,天敌群落的综合功能是最重要的,针对不同害虫,小花蝽、草蛉、六点蓟马、赤眼蜂等也具有各自的重要作用。通过天敌的人工操纵和补充释放技术以及选择性药剂的筛选运用,在地面覆草,增强天敌功能的基础上,建立起果园主要害虫的生态调控体系,每年可使苹果园比通常减少用农药40％－50％,使果园生态逐步形成良性循环。     

Aerial dispersal of European red mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) in commercial apple orchards

Aerial dispersal of European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), in commercial apple orchards was estimated by trapping windborne mites. Studies were conducted at four orchards in eastern New York during 1989 and 1990 and at three orchards in western New York during 1989. In each orchard mites were trapped in three locations; the interior of the orchard, at the border of the orchard and in a field or woodlot beyond the orchard. Large numbers of mites were captured, even when the numbers of mites on apple foliage were well below levels where mite injury to leaves was visible (less than five per leaf). The log numbers of mites trapped were linearly related to the log density of mites on leaves and this relationship was consistent for each year and region the study was conducted. The trap captures among the three locations in and outside an orchard were highly correlated. The implications these findings may have on metapopulation dynamics and resistance to acaricide dynamics are discussed.     

Assessment of cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii, and their natural enemies on aphid-resistant and aphid-susceptible wheat varieties in a wheat–cotton relay intercropping system

The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae), is an important cotton pest in northern China, especially in the seedling stage of cotton. After large scale commercial use of transgenic Bt cotton, cotton aphids became one of the most important cotton pests. A 2‐year study was conducted to evaluate the role of four winter wheat varieties that were resistant or susceptible to wheat aphid, Sitobion avenae Fabricius (Homoptera: Aphididae), in conserving arthropod natural enemies and suppressing cotton aphids in a wheat–cotton relay intercropping system in northern China. The results indicated that wheat–cotton intercropping preserved and augmented natural enemies more than a monoculture of cotton. The density of natural enemies in cotton was significantly different among relay‐intercropping fields with different wheat varieties. The highest density of natural enemies and low cotton aphid populations were found in the treatment of cotton in relay intercropped with the wheat variety Lovrin10, which is susceptible to wheat aphid. The lowest density of predators and parasitoids associated with high cotton aphid populations were found with the wheat variety KOK1679, which is resistant to wheat aphid. The results showed that wheat varieties that are susceptible or moderately resistant to wheat aphid might reduce cotton aphids more effectively than an aphid‐resistant variety in the intercropping system by enhancing predators to suppress cotton aphids during the cotton seedling stage.     

Die Feinde der Raubmilben als Reduzierender Faktor der Spinnmilben

Summary The relations betweenMetatetranychus ulmi living on apple trees and its different predators are complex. The most important natural enemy of this spider mite is the predacious miteTyphlodromus pyri (= T. tiliae). It destroys more spider mites than the beneficial insects do. In the district of Stuttgart-Hohenheim about 38 species of insects and spiders feed onTyphlodromus mites. For instanceT. pyri is reduced considerably byOrius minutus. This bug is a natural enemy of aphids and spider mites, however it prefers the predatory mites. It attacks the spider mites and aphids only ifTyphlodromus mites are not available.Chrysopa vulgaris andAnthocoris nemorum are similar in their feeding habits. These two destroyTyphlodromus pyri also but they are less important thanO. minutus. The other beneficial insects in our orchards have little effect on spider mites or predacious mites. If we have enough pests on our apple trees to make spraying necessary, we should look forTyphlodromus mites and be careful no to destroy them. We should always examine the composition of the biocoenosis applying chemical agents because the populations of insects and predacious mites may vary from one area to the other.      

Population dynamics of the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) in Japanese pear orchards

In spring a population of the citrus red mite (Panonychus citri),a non-diapausing species, migrated to a Japanese pear orchard, mainly from nearby Japanese holly trees, but in autumn most of the mites starved to death while the rest returned to the holly trees. In the Japanese holly trees, the population of mites reached their maximum density in late May1993 and in mid-June 1994 on overwintered leaves and moved to newly opened leaves in mid-June 1993 and late June 1994. The mites tended to disperse abruptly in early June or mid-June and again towards the end of June. The mites inhabiting the holly trees appeared to migrate to the Japanese pear trees in June but their densities on pear leaves remained low until mid-August. In the pear orchard, the mites initially tended to increase on pear leaves near the holly trees and then gradually spread to other leaves farther away from the holly trees. Their highest density in the pear orchard occurred in mid-October. When pear leaves were inoculated with two or five female adults at different times from May to September, the leaves inoculated before mid-August showed no increase in the number of mites. A possible cause for the suppression of the population increase on pear leaves from June to mid-August is discussed. This revised version was published online in November 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
