无土壤基质饲养中华真地鳖

设置中华真地鳖Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker的无基质和有基质饲养条件,研究生长繁育期和越冬期各龄段中华真地鳖的生长、蜕皮、存活率和雌虫产卵情况。有基质饲养条件以饲养土为基质;无基质饲养条件不以任何材料作为饲养基质,只用黑色潮湿的材料对试虫保湿和避光。结果表明:在食料充足的条件下,有、无饲养基质对中华真地鳖的生长发育无明显影响。无基质饲养条件下的生长繁育期大龄若虫和成虫存活率较高,且成虫的月产卵数也相对较高。表明无基质饲养技术可在地鳖虫饲养实践中推广,据此初步设想了无基质饲养地鳖虫的容器构造。

Rearing method of Eupolyphaga sinensis without soil medium

By using two different rearing methods,with soil medium and without soil medium but using humid and darkness material to covering,the growth,survival and female oviposition pattern of Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker in normal and overwinter seasons were studied.The results showed that there was no difference between the two methods in growth of E.sinensis when food was sufficient.Without soil medium,the livability of the elder nymphs,and female adults,and capability of oviposition of female adults were rather higher.The results indicated that the rearing method without soil medium could be applied in rearing of E.sinensis.The structure of E.sinensis rearing container was preliminary assumed.
