绿盲蝽发生规律及防治

<正> 随着大毫、福丁等茶树品种的不断推广,原来主要在杂草,棉花和其它植物上为害的绿盲蝽 Lygus lucorum Mayer-Dur,近年来在江苏茶园的为害日趋严重,尤其是无锡茶区,常年春茶芽梢被害率达30％以上,严重影响了茶叶的产量和质量。笔者自1988年起,连续3年在本所茶园内对绿盲蝽的发生规律进行了系统调     

中黑盲蝽若虫棉田调查技术研究

根据中黑盲蝽田间分布规律,初次提出以虫株百分率来估测百株虫量的简易调查法。经检验认为,估测百株虫量理论值与实查百株虫量之间差异不显著。用平行线式与随机式抽样方法比较估测法与实查法同总体平均数的差异程度,均表明前者差异相对最小。还明确估测法的相对允许误差水平在10％左右,同时确定了盲蝽不同虫口密度下的理论抽样数。     

绿盲蝽成虫的田间活动规律

本文通过粘虫板诱捕试验,研究了绿盲蝽Apolygus lucorum(Meyer-Dür)成虫在田间的活动规律。结果发现,绿盲蝽成虫主要在棉花顶部附近飞行,在高于棉花顶部20 cm处诱捕到的绿盲蝽显著多于50 cm和80 cm处(P<0.05)。在田间飞行时,绿盲蝽成虫没有明确的偏好方向,在东西南北各方位上的成虫诱捕量没有显著差异(P>0.05)。在昼夜节律上,绿盲蝽成虫集中在傍晚至凌晨时分活动,其中16:00至翌日4:00之间雌雄成虫的诱捕量分别占全天的100%和92.6%。     

棉田中黑盲蝽和绿盲蝽危害症状异同观察

中黑盲＄Adelphocorl,suturallsJakovlev．和绿盲吟吟guslucorumMeye,Der．是我国长江中下游棉区的重要害虫,每年都有发生。由于作物品种布局及非栽培寄主等发生条件因素的改变,两种盲蟑在年度间及代次间种群比例交替升降,主次地位随之变化。盲峡对棉花的嫩头：叶、蕾、花、铃均能危害,对棉花产量影响很大。为鉴别两种盲峙的危害症状,以便于搞好田间诊断、了解消长动态、正确指导防治,我们采取大田调查和接虫模拟相结合的办法,进行了两种盲格危害症状异同点的观察,现将结果报告于后。王子叶期危害症状棉苗子叶刚平展时受中黑盲…

Mate location in the green capsid bug, Lygocoris pabulinus

Headspace extracts from female Lygocoris pabulinus (L.) (Heteroptera: Miridae) as well as female leg extracts attracted male L. pabulinus in Y‐track olfactometer bioassays. In contrast, only female leg extracts were active in the vibration bioassay. Male extracts had no activity at all in either bioassay. When the female leg extract was analysed by coupled gas chromatography‐electroantennography (Z)‐9‐pentacosene and (Z)‐7‐pentacosene were EAD‐active. (Z)‐9‐Pentacosene and sometimes (Z)‐7‐pentacosene were also observed in female headspace extracts. EAG responses could be obtained for (Z)‐9‐pentacosene. A mixture of (Z)‐9‐pentacosene and (Z)‐7‐pentacosene in the ratio 5 : 1 elicited vibration behaviour in males. The results indicate that these alkenes are important cues for male L. pabulinus in mate location behaviour.     

Disruption of sexual communication in the mirid bug Lygocoris pabulinus by hexyl butanoate

1 The metathoracic scent gland in Lygocoris pabulinus contains mostly hexyl butanoate. As secretions of this gland in Heteroptera may serve as an alarm pheromone, we determined whether hexyl butanoate is released by disturbed bugs, and whether this compound disrupts sexual attraction of L. pabulinus males towards females. 2 Undisturbed males and females, and disturbed males released less than 100 ng/h hexyl butanoate, whereas disturbed females released a highly variable amount, ranging from 25 ng/h to more than 1 μg/h. 3 In the field, traps with virgin females and rubber septa containing 20 mg hexyl butanoate, caught a total of one male in a month. In control traps without hexyl butanoate, 36 males were caught in the same period. 4 In Y‐track olfactometer tests, males were not attracted to virgin females when a dispenser with 20 mg hexyl butanoate was placed in the bottle with females. Males were attracted to females when the dispenser was placed downwind from the females, but upwind from the point of male release. 5 These results suggest that males are not repelled by hexyl butanoate, but that this compound inhibits sex pheromone release in females. Application possibilities for pest management are discussed.     

The phenology of Lygus rugulipennis, the European tarnished plant bug, on late-season strawberries, and control with insecticides

The phenology of Lygus rugulipennis, the European tarnished plant bug, was studied in fields of strawberries producing late-season (July to September) crops. Adults invaded fields in small numbers, mainly in July. Large numbers of nymphs were found in late July and early August; these matured into adults from late August. Adults formed the overwintering population; some remained in strawberry fields but left in spring to feed on other host plants. All the insecticides tested, i.e. malathion, chlorpyrifos, heptenophos, cypermethrin, bifenthrin and trichlorfon, gave good short-term control of nymphs.     

Sex pheromone of the alfalfa plant bug,Adelphocoris lineolatus

In northern China, due to the large‐scale adoption of transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) cotton, the number of Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze) (Hemiptera: Miridae) has increased quickly, causing significant loss in cotton and alfalfa production. One of the environmentally safe strategies without use of pesticides is the application of insect pheromone for mating disruption. In our study, we aim to identify the active components in sexually mature virgin female A. lineolatus, and activity and optimal ratio of these components. By using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and gas chromatography–electroantennographic detection (GC‐EAD), we identified three active compounds: hexyl butyrate (HB), (E)‐2‐hexenyl butyrate (E2HB), and (E)‐4‐oxo‐2‐hexenal (4‐OHE). We examined the release rate of septum and tube dispensers in a wind tunnel. In a field experiment, deletion of 4‐OHE or E2HB resulted in significant suppression of male trap catches, indicating that E2HB or 4‐OHE may be the active pheromone components. Traps baited with a blend of 4‐OHE and E2HB at 2:5, 3:4, and 4:3 caught significantly more males, suggesting that the optimal ratio of 4‐OHE and E2HB could be in the range of 1:1 to 1:2. The addition of a large amount of HB could strongly reduce the attractive activity of both virgin females and artificial lures. We also compared the attractiveness of septum lures and tube lures in field experiments. The septum lures attracted males in the first 3 days. The tube lures caught more males after 3 days and the attractive effects existed up to 5 weeks, suggesting them as a tool for long‐term monitoring and control of plant bugs.     

Characterization of mealy substance secreted by the tuber crops pest mealy bug,Rhizoecus amoprhophalli

Rhizoecus amorphophalli is a polyphagous and very serious sucking insect pest on the root and tuber of plants. White powdery mealy substance associated with R. amorphophalli, gives protection to the insect. Mealy substance was isolated using a stereo zoom binocular microscope. Purity of the mealy substance was analysed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Thin-layer chromatography. The structure of mealy substance was determined based on extensive spectroscopic analyses (FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR). Based on the NMR data, the mealy substance was identified as a long-chained aliphatic hydrocarbon (ester) containing 30 carbon atoms.     

Haematological effects of apholate in the red cotton bug,Dysdercus koenigii

Topical application of sterilizing doses of apholate causes haematological changes in the adults ofDysdercus koenigii. The normal males have less haemolymph (13–16 l) than females (18–37 l) for the first 120 hr of adult life. Apholate treatment significantly reduces the haemolymph volume of both the sexes. There are significantly more haemocytes in circulation in adult females than in males. The total haemocyte count shows an initial increase up to 48 hr, but later indicates a drastic reduction in the treated males and females. The plasmatocytes of the treated insects are found to reduce in numbers and the prohaemocytes become the predominant type, while in controls the plasmatocytes are the major type of haemocytes.

Zusammenfassung Topicale Anwendung von sterilisierenden Dosen von Apholat verursacht hämatologische Änderungen bei den Adulten vonDysdercus koenigii. Die normalen Männchen haben weniger Hämolymphe (13–16 l) als Weibchen (18–37 l) in den ersten 120 h des adulten Lebens. Apholatbehandlung reduziert signifikant das Hämolymphvolumen beider Geschlechter. Es sind signifikant mehr Hämocyten im Umlauf bei adulten Weibchen als bei Männchen. Zählung der Gesamthämocyten zeigt bei behandelten Männchen und Weibchen ein anfängliches Anwachsen bis zu 48 h, später aber eine drastische Reduktion. Die Zahl der Plasmatocyten der behandelten Insekten erwies sich als abnehmend und die Prohämocyten werden der überwiegende Typ, während in der Kontrolle die Plasmatocyten der Haupttyp der Hämocyten sind.

     

Effects of cotton condensed tannin on feeding and digestion in the cotton pest, Heliothis zea

Condensed tannin of cotton incorporated into an artificial diet caused growth inhibition in H. zea larvae whose susceptibility was dependent upon the concentration of the dietary tannin, and also upon the size of the feeding larvae.Larvae feeding on tannin-treated diet exhibited both decreased protease and invertase activities in the midgut caecal wall, as well as lowered total protein and sugar levels in the haemolymph as compared to controls. These differences, however, had no effect on assilimation and efficiency of conversion of digested matter into animal biomass and therefore may be secondary effects. Ultimately, inhibition of growth is attributed to a reduction in food consumption.
