Breeding method of predatory natural enemies using eggs of wax moth

Abstract

The invention relates to a raising method utilizing predators of Galleria mellonella eggs. The predators such as Orius similis, harmonia axyridis, Amblyseius swirskii, Amblyseius cucumeris and Hypoaspis aculeifer are massively raised so as to raise Galleria mellonella, and eggs of Galleria mellonella are collected as baits to raise the predators. The raising method includes the steps of a, raising Galleria mellonella in a raising device with artificial feed to allow Galleria mellonella to lay eggs; b, collecting the eggs; c, using the eggs as baits to raise the predators. By the method, the predators of Galleria mellonella can be raised by the eggs of Galleria mellonella stably due to the fact that Galleria mellonella is fast in reproduction and many in egg laying and the eggs are concentratedly laid on a egg laying board, and accordingly economical production is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the raising method that utilizes the predatory natural enemy of wax moth ovum, more specifically, relates to raising small flower bug (Orius spp.), heterochromia ladybug (Harmonia axyridis), Ruishi Amblyseius swirskii (Amblyseius swirskii), cucumber Amblyseius cucumeris, Hypoaspis aculeifer and other predatory natural enemies are reared and the eggs of the moth are raised as predatory natural enemies of bait. Background technique [0002] The small flower bug is the natural enemy of the mulberry thrips. Currently, it is raised by the cotton aphid or the two-spotted spider mite. However, these bait insects must be kept in a wide greenhouse, which not only has high management costs, but also exists as a bait for several predatory natural enemies. The problem of inefficiency. [0003] In order to overcome these problems, Korean Patent No. 10-0426462 discloses a method of mass-rearing the stored pest Trichomonad moth as ba...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] The small flower bug is the natural enemy of the mulberry thrips. Currently, it is raised by the cotton aphid or the two-spotted spider mite. However, these bait insects must be kept in a wide greenhouse, which not only has high management costs, but also exists as a bait for several predatory natural enemies. inefficiency problem

[0003] In order to overcome these problems, Korean Patent No. 10-0426462 discloses a method of mass-rearing the stored pest Trichomonad moth as bait, but the device for collecting the eggs of Trichomonad moth is expensive to manufacture and raise, and the bait produced When raising natural enemies, there are disadvantages such as the aggressiveness of natural enemies and the protracted growth cycle of natural enemies

[0004] Korean Laid-Open Patent No. 10-2000-0026552 discloses an artificial feed and a large-scale feeding method for ladybugs for preventing and controlling aphids, that is, a method for raising ladybugs with an artificial feed that includes chicken liver, sucrose, and other micronutrients, but there is a problem of artificial feeding of ladybugs. Reduced baiting rate of natural enemies in feed, artificial feed pollution caused by frequent contamination bacteria, wild and aggressive passivation of natural enemies, etc.

[0005] In addition, Korean Laid-Open Patent No. 10-2007-0110009 discloses a method for raising predatory Amblyseius mite, namely, Amblyseius reinneri, by artificially inhabiting Carpoglyphidae. However, Drosophila mite is harmful to mammals, and it is used as a substitute There is always a limit to bait. As bait raised in large quantities, it does not have uniform nutrients, so it is difficult to completely feed natural enemies.
