Manual breed conservation method of synonycha grandis adults in wintering period

Abstract

The present invention relates to an indoor artificial preservation method of synonycha grandis adults in a wintering period. The method is characterized in that an outdoor wintering environment of the synonycha grandis adults is simulated indoors, a large amount of the synonycha grandis adults in sugar cane fields are collected in late November every year before cold winter and put in the indoor wintering environment, bred by an artificial feed and protected for wintering; the simulated wintering environment is formed by vertically putting 6-8 sections of withered sugar cane sheaths with the length to be 15-20cm in a glass tank with the size that is 18cm is multiplied by 30cm, and arranging a petri dish with the diameter to be 5cm at the tank bottom. The tank is added with absorbent cotton which fully absorbs sugar cane water, and tightly covered with a metal gauze at the opening of the tank. The indoor artificial preservation method of the synonycha grandis adults has the advantages of obviously improving the wintering survival rate of the ladybugs, good preservation effect, effectively and safely protecting wintering for the adult ladybugs, convenient operation and easy mastery. The indoor artificial preservation method is a set of simple and feasible method, and is widely applicable to sugar cane areas.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an artificial seed conservation method for adults of ladybird beetle overwintering period. Background technique: [0002] The sugarcane cotton aphid Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehntner belongs to the order of Homoptera and Aphididae. It is one of the main pests in sugarcane production, and its occurrence area can reach more than 80% of the planting area. In general, the yield of damaged sugarcane is reduced by 13.7% to 24.6%, the weight loss is more than 50%, and the sucrose content is reduced by 10% to 40%. At present, the control of sugarcane cotton aphid mainly relies on chemical pesticides. Due to the long-term continuous use of high-toxic and broad-spectrum pesticides, it not only kills a large number of natural enemies of pests in nature, destroys the ecological balance, makes the pests resistant to pesticides, and pollutes the environment. Pesticide residues in sugar endanger human health. Therefore, research and development an...

Problems solved by technology

The main reasons are: on the one hand, the overwintering survival rate of ladybugs is low under natural conditions, and secondly, the natural overwintering places of ladybugs are artificially destroyed when sugarcane is harvested, and a large number of overwintering ladybugs die due to the burning of sugarcane leaves.
