Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a cylindrical feeding tube suitable for rice leafhoppers and rice planthoppers. Background Art

[0002] Rice leafhoppers are a general term for leafhoppers that harm rice. There are more than 10 common rice leafhoppers, including black-tailed leafhoppers, electric leafhoppers, white-winged leafhoppers, etc., all of which belong to the order Hemiptera, family Cicadidae. Rice leafhoppers are harmful by sucking sap from the base of rice stems and can also spread rice viral diseases. Therefore, they are important pests of rice in my country and are widely distributed in various rice-growing areas, with the southern rice-growing areas being the most seriously affected.

[0003] Rice planthoppers are also a general term for planthoppers that harm rice. Common rice planthoppers include brown planthoppers, gray planthoppers, white-backed planthoppers, etc., all of which belong to the order Hemiptera and the family Delphacidae. Rice planthopper adults and nymphs suck sap from the lower part of the rice bushes, and their salivary glands secrete toxic substances that can block the transport tissues or cause the rice plants to shrink. Rice planthoppers can also spread rice virus diseases and are also important pests of rice in my country.

[0004] Studying the damage mechanism and virus transmission mechanism of rice leafhoppers and rice planthoppers is conducive to revealing the relationship between insects, plants and viruses, and providing a theoretical basis for pest control. The traditional or commercially sold rice leafhopper and rice planthopper breeding cage is a cubic or tent-shaped cage, generally made of aluminum alloy or plastic rods as the frame and high-density insect-proof nets as the surface. Its advantages are good isolation, good preservation of rice, high insect survival rate, and maximum restoration of the living relationship between plants and insects in the natural state. However, there are still some shortcomings in operation and effect: (1) Space occupation: In order to preserve the integrity of the plants, the existing breeding cages are large and require more space for placement; (2) Difficult to observe: The breeding cages are large, while the rice leafhoppers and rice planthoppers are small, such as planthoppers are 5 mm long and leafhoppers are 3-10 mm long. It is not easy to observe the feeding habits and virus transmission characteristics of rice leafhoppers and rice planthoppers in large breeding cages; (3) It is inconvenient to change plants: When changing plants, insects can easily escape.
