玫瑰红巨孢囊霉对烟草抗Cd能力的影响

丛枝菌根真菌(Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi,AMF)能提高植物抗重金属毒性。为评价镉(Cd)胁迫条件下AMF对烟草生长和抗Cd毒性的影响,对烟苗(Nicotiana tabaccum L.)进行0、5、20、40 mg/kg Cd处理,接种和不接种AMF玫瑰红巨孢囊霉Gigaspora rosea的双因子试验。培养90 d后测定植株的营养生长量、渗透调节物质和叶片保护酶活性。0~5 mg/kg Cd处理下,无论接种或不接种AMF,烟草的营养生长、渗透调节物质含量、叶片保护酶活性都上升。5 mg/kg Cd处理下,接种与不接种AMF的烟草各项指标均达到各处理的最高值,并显著高于0 mg/kg的对照组;Cd浓度继续升高时,烟草的营养生长、渗透调节物质含量、叶片保护酶活性均下降。在0~40 mg/kg Cd浓度处理范围内,各项检测指标的总体趋势是先升后降;在相同Cd浓度处理中,接种AMF烟草,其营养生长、渗透调节物质含量和叶片保护酶活性均高于不接种的烟草。结果表明:低于或等于5 mg/kg Cd浓度处理,能促进烟草的营养生长和抗重金镉毒性能力的提高,高于5 mg/kg Cd浓度处理时,Cd对烟草植株产生毒害,且随着浓度的升高毒性加重,用AMF Gigaspora rosea接种烟苗,可以减轻烟苗受Cd胁迫的毒性。

11种不同类型杀虫剂对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂繁殖的亚致死效应

在实验室条件下通过药膜法研究了11种不同类型的杀虫剂对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja成蜂的毒性, 并研究了杀虫剂对其繁殖的亚致死效应, 旨在评估各药剂对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂成蜂的安全性, 为小菜蛾Plutella xylostella防治过程中杀虫剂的合理施用提供科学依据。研究结果表明, 卷蛾分索赤眼蜂成蜂对阿维菌素最敏感, 致死中浓度LC₅₀和亚致死浓度LC₃₀分别为0.1984和0.1660 mg/L, 其次为氟虫腈（0.2027和0.1903 mg/L）、溴虫腈（0.3069和0.2038 mg/L）、多杀霉素（1.3630和1.0481 mg/L）、杀螟丹（8.1042 和6.7891 mg/L）、高效氯氰菊酯（10.3647和5.8035 mg/L）和丁醚脲（11.5318 和9.9212 mg/L）。经亚致死浓度LC₃₀的阿维菌素、溴虫腈、杀螟丹、丁醚脲、多杀霉素和氟虫腈处理后, 卷蛾分索赤眼蜂的寿命（1.00~1.67 d）显著缩短, 寄生卵量（0~21.70粒/雌）明显降低, 种群参数（净生殖力R₀、内禀增长率r_m、周限增长率λ和世代平均历期T）明显低于对照（P<0.05）。田间推荐浓度的茚虫威、氟啶脲、苏云金杆菌Bacillus thuringiensis、虫酰肼对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂寿命及产卵量均没有不利影响, 但能通过缩短其世代平均历期T, 从而使净生殖力R₀、内禀增长率r_m和周限增长率λ增加。而经亚致死浓度LC₃₀的高效氯氰菊酯处理后, 卷蛾分索赤眼蜂的寿命（3.77 d）显著延长, 寄生卵量（55.47粒/雌）明显提高, 种群参数明显高于对照(P<0.05)。结果说明, 氟啶脲、茚虫威、苏云金杆菌和虫酰肼对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂较安全; 丁醚脲对卷蛾分索赤眼蜂成蜂的寄生能力影响极大, 在田间施用时应当尽量避开卷蛾分索赤眼蜂成蜂的盛发期。     

杀虫剂对三角新小卷蛾的毒力与田间防效

研究了常用杀虫剂对三角新小卷蛾Olethreutes leucaspis Meyrick的室内毒力与田间防效.按照毒力降低的顺序,所测定杀虫剂对三角新小卷蛾毒力顺序为甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐>氟虫腈>三氟氯氰菊酯>溴氰菊酯>阿维菌素>、高效氯氰菊酯>氟虫脲>氰戊菊酯>氟啶脲>毒死蜱>敌百虫.但在田间条件下,各试验药剂均能有效控制三角新小卷蛾的为害.结果表明,敌百虫对三角新小卷蛾的毒力最低,LC50为186.16 mg·L-1,甲氨基阿维菌素苯甲酸盐和氟虫腈的毒力最高,LC50分别为0.67、0.83 mg·L-1,是敌百虫毒力的279.52、224.86倍;三氟氯氰菊酯、溴氰菊酯、阿维菌素、高效氯氰菊酯、氟虫脲和氰戊菊酯亦具有较高的毒力,LC50分别为1.24、1.37、1.60、3.75、5.17、6.71 mg·L-1;毒死蜱和氟啶脲的毒力低于其它药剂.各试验药剂均能有效控制三角新小卷蛾的为害.     

台湾乳白蚁和黄胸散白蚁对三种饵剂的嗅觉行为反应

利用“Y”型嗅觉仪,测定了台湾乳白蚁Coptotermesformosanus和黄胸散白蚁Reticulitermesflaviceps对灭蚁灵,氟虫胺,氟铃脲等3种饵剂在不同浓度下的嗅觉行为反应。结果表明2种白蚁对0. 2 5和0 . 5 %灭蚁灵;0 .2 5 ,0 .75和1 %氟虫胺;0 . 5 %氟铃脲均具有明显的趋性,且趋性差异不显著。因此,可将氟虫胺及氟铃脲作为灭蚁灵的替代品来防治白蚁。此外,台湾乳白蚁对1 %灭蚁灵,0 . 5 %氟虫胺,1 %氟铃脲具忌避性;而黄胸散白蚁对0 . 75和1 %灭蚁灵;0. 2 5 ,0. 75和1 %氟铃脲具忌避性,表明2种白蚁对饵剂的嗅觉反应既有相似性,又有不同点;台湾乳白蚁产生趋性的饵剂浓度大于黄胸散白蚁。因此用饵剂防治白蚁时,需根据不同种类的白蚁,采用不同的浓度进行防治。     

Susceptibility of last instar red flour beetles and confused flour beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) to hydroprene.

Last instar larvae of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), and the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val, were either exposed for 8-144 h on concrete treated with 1.9 x 10(-3) mg(AI)/per cm2 hydroprene, or continually exposed on concrete treated with 9.8 x 10(-4) to 1.9 x 10(-3) mg[AI]/per cm2 hydroprene. In both tests, larvae were exposed and held at 27 or 32 degrees C and 40, 57, or 75% RH. When larvae were exposed with no food to hydroprene for different time intervals, then transferred to untreated concrete containing flour, consistent effects were produced only at 144 h. At this exposure interval, the percentage of beetles arrested in the larval stage after 3-4 wk was generally greater at 75% RH compared with 40 and 57% RH, but there were no differences between species or temperature. The percentages of dead adult red flour beetles and live adults with morphological deformities were also greatest at 75% RH, and defects were more prevalent in red flour beetles than in confused flour beetles. When larvae were continually exposed to different concentrations of hydroprene on concrete that contained flour, the percentage of arrested larvae, dead adults, and live adults of both species generally increased with concentration. There were more deleterious effects at 75% RH compared with either 40 or 57% RH, and effects were more pronounced in the red flour beetle compared with the confused flour beetle. In both experiments, temperature effects were variable and inconclusive. Results indicate that continual exposure of last instar red flour beetle and confused flour beetle to hydroprene can limit population development, but exposure intervals of >6 d may be required for maximum effectiveness.     

Interaction of treatment of both adult and immature Coleoptera with a chitin synthesis inhibitor affects mortality and development time of their progeny

Chitin synthesis inhibitors, like many other insect growth regulating insecticides, do not kill adult insects but cause mortality of the immature stages. Pre-exposure of adult stored grain Coleoptera, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Bostrichidae) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Curculionidae) and development of their progeny in grain treated with the chitin synthesis inhibitor, chlorfluazuron, influenced the mortality and development rate of the progeny. Hatch rate of eggs from R. dominica adults that had both developed and laid on wheat treated with 0.75 mg kg–1 chlorfluazuron was reduced by almost 50% compared with untreated eggs, with an LC50 of 0.84 mg kg–1 . Eggs laid on treated wheat by R. dominica adults that had been exposed only to treated wheat for 2 weeks before oviposition showed greater reduction in hatch: 75% reduction of normal hatch rate at 0.25 mg kg–1 and almost 100% reduction at 2 mg kg–1 chlorfluazuron, with an LC50 of 0.19 mg kg–1 chlorfluazuron. X-rays were used to monitor the development and mortality of the immature stages of S. oryzae that developed within the wheat grains. Numbers of eggs laid were not affected by chlorfluazuron treatment. The combination of pre-exposure of adults and chlorfluazuron concentration had an additive effect on mortality of immature S. oryzae. Pre-exposure of adults caused most mortality in the first three weeks of development (eggs and larvae), whereas development in treated wheat caused mortality from weeks 3 to 8 (pupae and adults); higher concentrations of chlorfluazuron caused higher mortality. Development in wheat treated with 1 mg kg–1 chlorfluazuron caused 12% corrected overall mortality of progeny while pre-exposure to the same concentration and development in untreated wheat caused 29% corrected mortality. Pre-exposure combined with development in wheat treated with 1 mg kg–1 caused 30% corrected mortality. Thus, pre-exposure of adults appears to have a greater effect on mortality of S. oryzae progeny than development of immature stages in treated grain. Development on treated grain had no effect on development rate. Pre-exposure of adults did not appear to affect the rate of immature development, as assessed by X-rays, but did slow the emergence of adults, lengthening development time by about 2 days. This significant, additive effect of pre-exposure of adults on the mortality of their progeny will enhance the toxicity of chitin synthesis inhibitors such as chlorfluazuron, since most adults receive treatment when the immature stages are treated in crops either before they are harvested or in storage. Assessing the proportion of eggs that hatch from pre-exposed adults would be a simpler bioassay for CSIs.     

定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗生长发育影响及其作用机理初探

定虫隆是一种昆虫生长调节抑制剂,研究其对锈赤扁谷盗的控制作用,将为锈赤扁谷盗的综合防治提供理论基础。本研究以锈赤扁谷盗幼虫为研究对象,用定虫隆拌粮进行饲喂,观察定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗的亚致死效应,并利用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)技术,测定经定虫隆处理后锈赤扁谷盗幼虫几丁质合成酶1(CfCHS1)和几丁质合成酶2(CfCHS2)基因表达量的变化。结果表明:定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗的毒力回归方程为y=7.514+1.81x(r=0.974),LD 10、LD 20、LD 30分别为0.008 mg/kg、0.014 mg/kg、0.021 mg/kg,亚致死剂量定虫隆可使锈赤扁谷盗幼虫发育历期明显延长(P<0.05),体重和几丁质含量明显降低(P<0.05),这说明了定虫隆对锈赤扁谷盗的生长发育有明显的抑制作用,可以有效控制锈赤扁谷盗的为害。qPCR结果显示,与对照组相比,LD 30处理后的锈赤扁谷盗幼虫的CfCHS 1基因表达量提高了74.7%,CfCHS 2基因的表达量提高了27.4%,均差异显著(P<0.05)。CfCHS 1和CfCHS2基因表达量的上调,可能是几丁质合成酶受到了抑制,锈赤扁谷盗为了维持机体的稳定,提高几丁质合成酶基因的表达量,从而形成一种代偿性增加的反馈机制,由此推测定虫隆可能作用于几丁质合成酶。     

复配杀虫剂BtA对棉铃虫的杀虫效果及对天敌中红侧沟茧蜂蛹和成虫的触杀毒性(英文)

为了科学施药, 合理保护和利用天敌对棉铃虫Helicoverpa armigera进行综合防治, 本研究在室内测定和比较了复配杀虫剂BtA和7种常用杀虫剂（阿维菌素、 Bt、 β-氯氰菊酯、辛硫磷、定虫隆、氰戊菊酯和丁硫克百威）对棉铃虫的杀虫效果及对其天敌中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator蛹和雌成虫的触杀毒性。采用浸叶法测定杀虫剂在室内72 h内对棉铃虫3龄幼虫的杀虫效果, 结果表明： 与其他杀虫剂相比, BtA对棉铃虫幼虫具有更高的毒性和致死效应 (LC₅₀=0.7364 mg/mL)。将棉铃虫3龄幼虫接到用浓度4 mg/mL上述杀虫剂分别处理过的大白菜上24, 48和72 h, 发现其死亡率之间存在显著差异（P≤0.05）。但在72 h后, BtA和其他杀虫剂对棉铃虫幼虫的杀虫效果之间并无显著差异(P>0.05)。BtA施药后, 随着时间的延长, 棉铃虫幼虫的死亡率也在增加。另外, 通过杀虫剂对寄生蜂中红侧沟茧蜂蛹和雌成虫的触杀毒性的生物测定发现： 与β-氯氰菊酯、 氰戊菊酯和丁硫克百威相比, BtA对中红侧沟茧蜂蛹和雌成虫的毒性较低, 对其蛹和雌成虫致死率分别仅为13.82%和7.33%。本研究证明BtA对鳞翅目害虫具有中等毒性, 而对寄生蜂中红侧沟茧蜂则具有较低毒性。

Evaluation of entomopathogenic nematodes for control of the beetle, Luperomorpha suturalis Chen (Col., Chrysomelidae)

Abstract: The strains Steinernema feltiae Otio and A54, Steinernema ceratophorum D43 and Steinernema carpocapsae BJ were tested for their infectivity to the larvae and pupae of beetle ( Luperomorpha suturalis Chen) at 25 ± 0.5°C and 15 ± 0.5°C in laboratory conditions. The results, based on comparison of the insect mortalities and nematode penetration rates among four nematode strains, showed that S. feltiae Otio was a potential biocontrol agent of the larvae and pupae of L. suturalis . The mortalities of the larvae and pupae exposed to S. feltiae Otio strain were 95.8 and 97.1% at 25 ± 0.5°C and 78.0 and 83.0% at 15 ± 0.5°C, respectively. The nematode penetration rates of S. feltiae Otio of the larvae and pupae were 15.6 and 19.0% at 25 ± 0.5°C, 2.6 and 6.3% at 15 ± 0.5°C, respectively. Field efficacy of S. feltiae Otio strain was examined against beetle larvae in Hebei province, northern China. The population reduction of insect larvae was 77.8 and 13.9% at doses of 30 and 15 infective juveniles (IJs)/cm² of S. feltiae Otio after 38 days of treatment and 90.2 and 92.4% after 100 days of treatment. However, the population of the insect larvae was reduced only to 15.5 and 15.7% when treated with pesticide after 38 and 100 days, respectively. The efficiency between the two nematode doses was not significantly different but it was remarkably higher than that of the pesticide after 100 days of application. The results suggest that S. feltiae Otio strain could be an alternative to pesticide for beetle control.     

Effectiveness of spinosad on four classes of wheat against five stored-product insects

Spinosad is a commercial reduced-risk pesticide that is naturally derived. Spinosad's performance was evaluated on four classes of wheat (hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, and durum wheats) against adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.); rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.); sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.); red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst); and larvae of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner). Beetle adults (25) or P. interpunctella eggs (50) were exposed to untreated wheat and wheat treated with spinosad at 0.1 and 1 mg (AI)/kg of grain. On all untreated wheat classes, adult beetle mortality ranged from 0 to 6%, and P. interpunctella larval mortality ranged from 10 to 19%. The effects of spinosad on R. dominica and P. interpunctella were consistent across all wheat classes. Spinosad killed all exposed R. dominica adults and significantly suppressed progeny production (84-100%) and kernel damage (66-100%) at both rates compared with untreated wheat. Spinosad was extremely effective against P. interpunctella on all wheat classes at 1 mg/kg, based on larval mortality (97.6-99.6%), suppression of egg-to-adult emergence (93-100%), and kernel damage (95-100%), relative to similar effects on untreated wheats. The effects of spinosad on S. oryzae varied among wheat classes and between spinosad rates. Spinosad was effective against S. oryzae, O. surinamensis and T. castaneun only on durum wheat at 1 mg/kg. Our results suggest spinosad to be a potential grain protectant for R. dominica and P. interpunctella management in stored wheat.

Economic injury levels and sequential sampling plans for Mexican bean beetle (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on dry beans

Field studies were conducted during the growing seasons of 1995 and 1996, in Scotts-bluff, Nebraska, to determine yield-loss relationships for Mexican bean beetle (Epilachna varivestis Mulsant) on dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Results of those experiments were combined with data from other studies previously conducted to develop economic injury levels (EILs), economic thresholds (ETs), and a sequential sampling program for Mexican bean beetle. Yield loss was regressed against larvae/row-m, and the slope of the linear regression (113 kg/ha per larvae/row-m) was used as the DI (yield loss/insect density) variable in EIL calculations. The EILs calculated in larvae/row-m were converted to egg masses/row-m and adjusted to reflect average survivorship to the adult stage. An example EIL for esfenvalerate at 0.509 (formulation) liter/ha (0.0453 gal/a) and crop value of 0.44 dollars/kg (20 dollars/100 lbs) was 17.78 larvae/row-m. The corresponding ET is 1.04 egg masses/row-m, which reflects an average of 54.6 eggs/egg mass and 33% survival rate from egg to injurious stages. Sequential sampling plans were calculated based on a negative binomial distribution using parameter k estimated from previous research. Because sampling is based on egg masses, growers can make management decisions and take management actions before significant injury occurs. Also, ETs can be adjusted to include the occurrence of natural mortality in the egg and early instars. Analyses demonstrated that relatively minor variation in ETs has substantial impact on sequential sampling plans, including parameters such as average sample number. An interactive spreadsheet was developed that allows users to input economic and other data specific to their situation to calculate Mexican bean beetle EILs, ETs, and sequential sampling plans.
