Artificial feeding method for diaphorina citri

Abstract

The invention discloses an artificial feeding method for diaphorina citri. The method includes the following steps that feed plant cultivation and management are conducted, wherein feed plants include murraya paniculata and citrus; woodlice are fed; a woodlouse feeding cage is cleaned; and the feed plants are repaired. According to the method, a large number of woodlouse imagoes and nymphs not carrying Candidatus liberobacter asiaticus can be bred, and a large number of indoor woodlouse insect sources not carrying germs can be provided for areas where few woodlice or no woodlouse exists so as to meet needs of relevant tests.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pest control, and in particular relates to an artificial breeding method for citrus psyllids. Background technique

[0002] The citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri (Kuwayama) is an important pest in the young shoot stage of citrus. It often causes atrophy and deformity of the shoot, causes soot disease, affects the photosynthesis of citrus, and is the only natural medium for the transmission of citrus greening disease Candidatus liberobacter asiaticu Insect (Deng Mingxue, Peng Youliang, 2006 Chinese Phytopathological Society Proceedings), citrus Huanglongbing is a quarantine disease, and at present there is no effective way to cure the disease at home and abroad. Once citrus is infected with Huanglongbing, it can only be excavated. A single adult psyllid can propagate Huanglongbing, the transmission rate is as high as 70%-80%, and it will carry the disease for life. It will spread in close range with the wind. The 1-3 ...
