西花蓟马对六种蔬菜的选择性及受害蔬菜挥发物化学成分的变化

为了明确西花蓟马雌成虫对蔬菜的选择性及受害后蔬菜挥发物的异同,采用Y-型嗅觉仪测定了西花蓟马雌成虫对6种健康及虫害寄主(甘蓝、莴苣、黄瓜、茄子、芹菜和大蒜)的选择性,同时采用SPME-GC/MS测定了健康及虫害寄主的挥发物。结果表明:西花蓟马对虫害大蒜的选择率只有23.3%,表现出极强的负趋性(P0.01),但在其他虫害寄主与空气之间,西花蓟马对虫害寄主均没有表现出明显的趋性(P0.05);西花蓟马对同一种寄主健康植株与虫害寄主之间的选择没有显著差异(P0.05);在虫害寄主两两之间的选择中,西花蓟马雌成虫在虫害甘蓝与虫害芹菜、虫害甘蓝与虫害大蒜以及虫害莴苣与虫害大蒜之间的选择达到极显著差异(P0.01),在虫害黄瓜与虫害大蒜之间的选择达到显著差异(P0.05);与健康寄主相比,受害寄主植物挥发物种类明显增多,最主要是烃类化合物和含氮化合物的变化,如新合成了氮丙基甲苯酰胺、E-β-罗勒烯、(E,E)-α-法尼烯,并且在虫害寄主中含量较高;芹菜和大蒜中的挥发物变化比较稳定,芹菜中β-月桂烯和二烯丙基二硫化合物含量较高。西花蓟马危害后寄主植物挥发物发生了明显的变化,这些结果将为引诱剂及驱避剂的研发提供依据。     

西花蓟马对蔬菜寄主的选择性研究

通过西花蓟马在田间不同蔬菜上的种群数量、在室内对不同蔬菜的自由选择和不同蔬菜对西花蓟马生长发育和繁殖的影响等方面,研究了西花蓟马对蔬菜寄主的选择性。结果表明西花蓟马在田间可危害24种蔬菜,但在不同蔬菜上种群数量差异很大,存在明显的寄主选择性,对黄瓜、四季豆、茄子、萝卜和香菜的嗜食度很高,为最适宜寄主,而对番茄、蒜、芹菜等11种蔬菜的嗜食度较低,为非适宜寄主。西花蓟马在室内的自由选择结果表明西花蓟马在7种不同蔬菜上着落的成虫数量和产卵量不同,其选择性为黄瓜＞四季豆＞茄子＞莴苣＞甘蓝＞芹菜＞蒜。不同蔬菜对西花蓟马的发育历期和产卵量有明显的影响,西花蓟马在黄瓜上发育最快,在四季豆上产卵量最高。西花蓟马对蔬菜寄主的选择性在田间的调查结果和室内实验结果基本一致。     

嗜食植物与非嗜食植物对西花蓟马成虫寄主选择性的影响

【目的】西花蓟马是世界性害虫,利用西花蓟马对寄主植物嗜食性的差异,通过驱避作用防控西花蓟马,能够为绿色治理提供依据。【方法】在西花蓟马嗜食的甘蓝和非嗜食的大蒜上互喷汁液,采用黄瓜+甘蓝、黄瓜+大蒜2种相间种植方式,研究它们对西花蓟马寄主选择性的影响。【结果】在甘蓝上喷洒大蒜汁液后,甘蓝叶片上西花蓟马的虫量和产卵量均明显减少。大蒜汁液浓度越高,减少得越多;在大蒜上喷洒甘蓝汁液后,大蒜植株上西花蓟马的虫量和产卵量明显增加,且增加程度与甘蓝汁液的浓度呈正相关。黄瓜和甘蓝相间排列时,西花蓟马在黄瓜叶片上的数量与单作黄瓜叶片上无明显差异;但黄瓜和大蒜相间排列时,西花蓟马在黄瓜上的数量明显高于单作黄瓜上的虫数,多52.4%。【结论】在嗜食寄主植物上喷洒非嗜食植物汁液或间作非嗜食的寄主可以明显减少西花蓟马的选择性。研究结果为利用非嗜食植物挥发物防控西花蓟马提供了理论依据和新的方法。

西花蓟马与烟蓟马生物学特性的比较研究

本试验研究并比较了外来入侵物种西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis(Pergande)与本地物种烟蓟马Thrips tabaci Lindeman的生物学特性,包括种群增长速度、发育历期、成虫寿命、孤雌生殖方式下的产卵量以及产卵规律等几个方面。结果显示,当以相同的数量在紫甘蓝上饲养时,只经过3代,烟蓟马的种群数量就可以达到西花蓟马的3倍,随后对2种蓟马种群的性别比进行了鉴定后发现,西花蓟马种群的雌雄比为2.8∶1,而烟蓟马种群中的所有个体均为雌性。除了2龄若虫期和预蛹期之外,烟蓟马在紫甘蓝上的发育历期明显长于西花蓟马,而其雌虫的平均寿命显著短于西花蓟马雌虫,分别是24.94d和43.35d。进行孤雌生殖时,西花蓟马的终生产卵量明显多于烟蓟马,但是在日均产卵量方面,这一情况却相反。     

寄主植物对B型烟粉虱形态学和生物学特性的影响

为了解B型烟粉虱(Bemisiatabaci)在不同寄主植物上的生物学特性,以制定科学的综合治理措施,作者在271℃的条件下,研究测定了B型烟粉虱在棉花(Gossypiumhirsutum)、一品红(Euphorbiapulcherrima)、甘蓝(Brassicaoleraceavar.capitata)、黄瓜(Cucumissativus)、西葫芦(Cucurbitapepo)、茄子(Solanummelongena)和番茄(Lycopersiconesculentum)上各虫态大小、成活率、发育历期、成虫寿命、平均产卵量等生物学参数。结果表明:取食不同寄主植物的烟粉虱伪蛹在黄瓜和棉花上体型最大,在一品红上最小;烟粉虱从卵到成虫羽化,发育历期以在一品红上最长(22.0d),黄瓜上最短(17.3d);平均单雌产卵量以在番茄上最多(266.5粒/雌),一品红上最少(112.9粒/雌);成虫的寿命在番茄、黄瓜和茄子上显著长于在其他4种寄主植物上。烟粉虱从卵发育到成虫的存活率以在黄瓜上最高(77.8%),西葫芦上最低(55.6%),两者差异显著。综合比较7种寄主植物,黄瓜是烟粉虱种群生长发育和繁殖的最适寄主。     

东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马的控害能力评价

在实验室条件下,采用编制特定年龄生命表的方法,获得东亚小花蝽Orius sauteri和西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis的重要种群生物学参数,进而分析评价东亚小花蝽对西花蓟马的控害能力。结果表明：东亚小花蝽的净生殖力（22.6）和内禀增长率（0.1345）均大于西花蓟马（20.2、0.1225）。此外,东亚小花蝽的世代历期（23.17 d）和种群倍增时间（5.15 d）均小于西花蓟马（24.54 d、5.65 d）。另外,东亚小花蝽的单雌平均产卵量（61.8粒）大于西花蓟马（35.4粒）。综合上述研究结果说明,东亚小花蝽的种群扩繁速度大于西花蓟马,且具有控制西花蓟马种群增长的巨大潜力。     

吡虫啉胁迫对西花蓟马生长发育及种群性比的影响

为明确吡虫啉持续大量使用对外来入侵害虫西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis的影响。本研究通过毒力测定得到西花蓟马室内种群LC_(30)及LC_(50)的两种吡虫啉浓度162 mg/L和171 mg/L,在室内人工气候箱环境下研究了西花蓟马各虫态的发育历期、成虫寿命及性比等相关种群参数。结果表明,西花蓟马未成熟虫期的发育历期在经过吡虫啉处理后相比对照显著缩短(P0.05),且雌性西花蓟马的未成熟虫期明显短于雄性西花蓟马,其中以171 mg/L吡虫啉处理后西花蓟马的雌性种群未成熟虫期发育历期缩短最为明显(P0.05);西花蓟马雄性种群的寿命略长于雌性种群,且171 mg/L吡虫啉处理后雌雄虫寿命与对照相比均显著缩短(P0.05);吡虫啉处理后西花蓟马的平均产卵期低于对照,但单雌产卵量、日均产卵量均显著高于对照,171 mg/L吡虫啉处理后的单雌产卵量和日均产卵量最高(P0.05)。吡虫啉胁迫后,西花蓟马的雌性种群在整个种群中所占比例增速迅速上升,经过125 d(大约5代)之后,雌性种群已经占绝对优势,几乎取代雄性种群,即种群中90%以上均为雌性西花蓟马。西花蓟马雌性种群对吡虫啉的胁迫适应性强于雄性种群,吡虫啉胁迫是造成西花蓟马雌性种群比例迅速升高的主要原因之一,在吡虫啉浓度LC_(30)到LC_(50)胁迫的范围内,随着吡虫啉胁迫浓度的增加,种群中雌性种群所占比例增大。     

寄主植物接种番茄斑萎病毒对西花蓟马种群的影响

【目的】西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)是一种入侵我国的重要害虫, 而番茄斑萎病毒是以西花蓟马传播为主的一种极具危害性的世界性病毒, 通过研究西花蓟马与番茄斑萎病毒之间的互作将有助于进一步深入理解西花蓟马以及番茄斑萎病毒的发生与猖獗机制, 同时也将为制定合理、可持续的控制西花蓟马及其传播的植物病毒防控策略提供理论依据。【方法】利用应用特定年龄-龄期及两性生命表方法, 研究了西花蓟马在辣椒3种处理（健康CK、机械损伤MD、机械接种番茄斑萎病毒MI）叶片上的生长发育、存活及种群增长。【结果】健康、机械损伤和机械接毒叶片上的发育历期依次为12.45, 11.97和11.18 d。雌雄成虫寿命和雌虫产卵量在不同处理植株叶片上差异显著(P<0.05), 在机械接毒叶片上寿命最长(雌13.51 d, 雄12.69 d); 繁殖能力最强, 产子代数高达33.01头1龄若虫/雌。健康、机械损伤和机械接毒叶片上西花蓟马内禀增长率分别为-0.009, 0.153和0.190 d-1, 净生殖率依次为0.84, 14.54和21.79。【结论】番茄斑萎病毒诱导寄主植物辣椒反应使西花蓟马发育历期缩短, 成虫寿命延长, 繁殖能力提高, 种群增长加速。     

Olfactory Cues Used in Host Selection by Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Relation to Host Suitability

Olfactory responses of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) to odors from six vegetable host plants-cabbage (Brassica oleracea), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), eggplant (Solanum melongena), celery (Apium graveolens) and garlic (Allium sativum) - were measured in choice tests in a Y-tube olfactometer, while host suitability of these same plants was assessed based on life table parameters-development time, survival rates, fertility, offspring sex ratio, female longevity, and an index of population change (I) - measured on leaf disks. Olfactory response was measured on both undamaged and mechanically-damaged plants. Regardless of plant damaged, female F. occidentalis responded positively to the odors of cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, and eggplant, but showed negative responses to celery and garlic, when offered a choice of plant odor or clean air. When female thrips were offered choices between each possible pairing of undamaged plants, or pairings of mechanically-damaged plants, the order of preference was cabbage = lettuce = cucumber > eggplant > celery = garlic. Male thrips responded differently, males responded positively only to undamaged lettuce and eggplant compared to clean air, while among mechanically-damaged plants only cucumber elicited a positive response. Given a choice between all possible pairings of undamaged plants, male thrips preferred lettuce to celery, and eggplant to garlic, whereas among pairings of mechanically-damaged plants male thrips preferred lettuce to celery, and cucumber to eggplant. The order of suitability of the six host plants based on life table parameters for F. occidentalis was essentially the same as the order of preference by female thrips. These results indicate that host plant odor is an important cue for female F. occidentalis in recognizing hosts suitable for oviposition. Information on plant attraction and repellency may be useful in thrips pest management. In addition, the correspondence of preference and performance that we found suggests that evolution of local host adaptation and, perhaps, host specialization, is possible.     

蔬菜花期蓟马的种群动态与空间分布研究

西花蓟马是近年来在我国局部地区暴发成灾的重要外来入侵害虫,有关西花蓟马入侵对本地蓟马种群动态、空间分布及优势种影响的报道较少。对云南省昆明市近郊蔬菜花期的蓟马种群动态和空间分布研究表明,蔬菜上的蓟马种类主要是西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis(Pergande)、花蓟马F.intonsa(Trybom)、棕榈蓟马T.palmi(Karny)和端大蓟马Megalurothrips distalis(Karny);不同蔬菜上的蓟马优势种存在一定差异,其中辣椒和茼蒿上的蓟马优势种为西花蓟马;韭菜、茄子和四季豆上的蓟马优势种分别为花蓟马、棕榈蓟马和端大蓟马。各蔬菜上的蓟马种群数量以花期为多,盛花期达最大值,其中茄子花上的蓟马成虫平均虫口密度最高,为14.93头/朵。利用聚集度指标进行空间分布检测表明,不同蔬菜上蓟马成虫的空间分布型均为聚集分布,且聚集程度随密度的增加而增大。本研究可为深入探讨西花蓟马对本地蓟马的竞争取代机制积累资料,同时为西花蓟马的综合治理奠定理论基础。     

Economic injury levels for western flower thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on greenhouse cucumber

Low, medium and high densities of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), were established in three greenhouses at the Greenhouse and Processing Crops Research Centre, Ontario, Canada, in 1996 and 1998 to develop economic injury levels for thrips on greenhouse cucumber. Thrips densities were monitored weekly using yellow sticky traps and flower counts. Fruit was harvested twice a week, graded for size, weighed, and rated for thrips damage using three damage categories. Significant yield reduction was detected 4 wk after severe fruit damage was observed in the high and medium thrips density treatments in 1996 and 7 wk in 1998. Percentage of severe damaged fruit (P(F3)) has significant linear relationships with the adult thrips density (x) that was sampled by sticky traps 1 wk before harvest (P(F3) = -0.2533 + 0.0828x) and that was sampled by flower counts 2 wk before harvest (P(F3) = -0.2025 + 0.5490x). Based on the regression equations, economic injury levels, expressed as adult thrips per sticky trap per day or adult thrips per flower, were calculated for various combinations of control costs, yield potential and fruit prices. The economic injury levels for F. occidentalis ranged from 20 to 50 adults per sticky trap per day or 3 to 7.5 per flower as determined under average greenhouse production conditions in Ontario, Canada.     

Flower visitation and oviposition behavior of Frankliniella occidentalis (Tysan., Thripidae) on cucumber plants

Oviposition behaviour of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) on greenhouse cucumber, Cucumis satifus (L.) was investigated. Most eggs were laid in the leaves, along veins and under leaf hairs, with only a few on plant stems and flowers. Oviposition rate was higher during the day than during the night. During the day, more adult thrips were found in the flowers than during the night. The number of adult thrips per flower increased rapidly after sunrise with the highest densities occurring around noon and thereafter the number of thrips in flowers decreased during the afternoon. No differences were found in the number of larvae (first and second instars) in flowers during the same period. The number of adult thrips on male and female cucumber flowers was not different, indicating that pollen is not the only attraction in flowers for thrips.     

Host plant, temperature, and photoperiod effects on ovipositional preference of Frankliniella occidentalis and Frankliniella fusca (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

Host plant effects of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., and chickweed, Stellaria media (L.) Vill., foliage infected and uninfected with Tomato spotted wilt virus (family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus, TSWV) on the ovipositional preferences of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), and tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), were investigated for whole plants in the greenhouse. In addition, the preference for leaf disks from the same host plants was investigated under a range of temperatures, 15-30 degrees C at a photoperiod of 12:12 (L:D) h, and at three photoperiods, 6:18, 12:12, and 18:6, at 20 degrees C in no-choice and choice studies conducted in growth chambers. In a choice test, F. fusca oviposited significantly more eggs per whole plant foliage over a 7-d period than F. occidentalis by an average ratio of 3:1 over both tomato and chickweed. The optimum temperature for oviposition of F. occidentalis and F. fusca was 24.5 and 24.9 degrees C, respectively. Both species laid significantly more eggs under the longest daylight hours tested, 18:6, in the choice study. Temperature and photoperiod did not significantly interact in terms of thrips ovipositional preference. Ovipositional preference for chickweed or tomato foliage was different for each thrips species in the choice and no-choice tests. However, both thrips species laid significantly more eggs per square centimeter of leaf area in chickweed than in tomato in the whole plant choice test.     

Variation in performance of western flower thrips populations on susceptible and partially resistant cucumber

Biotypic variation is of major concern in breeding for host plant resistance to insects. The existence or development of aggressive biotypes can lead to a rapid break-down of host plant resistance. Therefore the study of biotypic variation should be included in breeding programs for resistance to insects. In the present study we measured the reproduction of randomly collected females of ten different populations of the insect herbivore Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on one susceptible and two resistant cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) accessions. Significant differences between thrips populations were observed on all three cucumber accessions. None of the populations had a significantly higher reproduction than the Dutch reference population NL1. For three populations, the Dutch population NL1, a population from New Zealand (NZ), and an Italian population (IT), partial life history parameters, such as reproduction rate, developmental time and survival were determined and the relative rate of increase r _r was calculated. On all three cucumber accessions the r _r-value of population NZ was lower than of populations NL1 and IT. It is concluded that there is biotypic variation in F. occidentalis with regard to performance on cucumber plants with different levels of resistance. Reproduction is a good criterion for differentiating biotypes of F. occidentalis on cucumber.     

Lack of fitness costs of insecticide resistance in the western flower thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

The fitness costs of spinosad and acrinathrin resistance was investigated in the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Fitness studies were conducted on susceptible and resistant strains of F. occidentalis. Resistant females were significantly more fecund (number of eggs per female) than susceptible females. The hatching rate (fertility) for both susceptible and acrinathrin-resistant strains was significantly lower than in the spinosad-resistant strain. Mean developmental time from egg to adult did not differ between thrips populations. Similarly, female longevity did not differ between populations. These data suggest that lack of fitness costs related to insecticide resistance may accelerate the development of insecticide resistance in populations of F. occidentalis from southeastern Spain.     

Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) chemical control: insecticide efficacy associated with the three consecutive spray strategy

Abstract  After the initial 1993 discovery of Frankliniella occidentalis , western flower thrips, in Australia, temporary chemical control permits were issued to facilitate their insecticidal control. However, these permits were based on established endemic pests of Australian horticulture rather than demonstrated efficacy against F. occidentalis , and laboratory bioassays of Australian field-collected F. occidentalis suggested that some permit application rates were too low to be effective. In 2002 and 2003 field-based trials were carried out in strawberry and lettuce to collect field-generated efficacy data to verify the laboratory conclusions. It was found that by increasing field application rates above the existing permit rate, efficacy was increased, but not for all insecticides and not for all thrips life stages. Increasing the rate of abamectin and endosulfan in strawberry increased control of adults and larvae and increasing the rate of endosulfan in lettuce increased efficacy against larvae only. Spinosad was effective at both rates tested in strawberry, suggesting that the current permit rate could be reduced. The ability to use reduced rates may be useful if used in combination with Integrated Pest Management programs.
