Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of biological control technology, and in particular relates to a device for raising and releasing natural enemy insects carrying biocontrol bacteria. Background Technology
[0002] In modern agricultural production, biological control is an important means of reducing the use of chemical pesticides and improving the quality and safety of agricultural products. Common biological control methods include using natural enemy insects (such as parasitic wasps and predatory ladybugs) to prey on or parasitize pests, and using microbial pesticides (such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses) to cause disease or inhibit pests. However, existing biocontrol agents usually need to be sprayed or spread, and if applied separately from natural enemy insects, it often increases workload and makes precise synchronous control difficult. In addition, the synergy between biocontrol agents and natural enemy insects can further improve the integrated control effect, but currently there is a lack of a simple and effective release device that can carry biocontrol agents into the target environment when natural enemy insects leave the container, thereby exerting a synergistic control effect. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and proposes a device for raising and releasing natural enemy insects carrying biocontrol bacteria.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A device for raising and releasing natural enemy insects carrying biocontrol bacteria includes a support base and a release bucket. An outer shell is provided on the outside of the release bucket, and the outer shell is connected to the support base.
[0006] The release bucket has a closed structure at one end and a cover at the other end. Several release ports are provided on the side wall of the release bucket. A rotating shaft is located inside the release bucket, and several partitions are located outside the rotating shaft. One end of each partition is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the release bucket. A carrying assembly is provided between adjacent partitions. Several through holes are provided on the side wall of the release bucket to ensure stable temperature and humidity inside the bucket.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer shell is movably connected to the release container. The release container can be rotated by turning the pivot, facilitating the movement of insects inside.
[0008] Furthermore, a sleeve is provided on the outside of the release port, and a baffle is provided inside the sleeve. The baffle is detachably connected to the sleeve, and the area of the baffle is larger than the area of the release port. The baffle can be removed as needed. After the baffle is inserted into the sleeve, it can prevent insects from escaping prematurely.
[0009] Furthermore, the carrying component includes an outer side plate and two inner side plates. One end of each inner side plate is connected to the end of the other inner side plate, and the other end is connected to the end of the outer side plate. The outer side plate and the two inner side plates are connected end-to-end, forming an independent space. Different carrying components can be used to release insects at different growth stages. Several through holes are evenly distributed on the outer side plate and the two inner side plates to ensure stable environmental temperature and humidity.
[0010] Furthermore, both the inner and outer side plates have several carrying recesses on their inner surfaces. These carrying recesses increase the surface area of the inner and outer side plates, facilitating the attachment of insect eggs and also promoting insect crawling. Biocontrol agents can also be applied within the carrying recesses to further facilitate insect attachment.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer side plate is provided with an inner outlet, the position of which corresponds to the release port. This allows insects to crawl directly out from the inner outlet and the release port.
[0012] Furthermore, a support is provided on the inner side of the carrying component, the bottom of which is connected to the inner side plate. A platform is provided on the support, and carrying layers are provided above and below the platform. The platform increases the crawling area for insects, and the carrying layers are coated with biocontrol bacteria, facilitating contact and adhesion between the biocontrol bacteria and the insect's exoskeleton or body surface. The carrying layers can be coated with adhesives or have carrier particles added, making it easier for insects to carry the biocontrol bacteria. Targeted fungal, bacterial, or viral biocontrol agents can also be selected depending on the specific type of pest or disease.
[0013] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the end of the shaft.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] The biocontrol insect breeding and release device described in this invention allows the natural enemy insects to hatch and develop normally in a suitable environment, and also allows them to carry biocontrol bacteria when released. During their movement in the field or greenhouse, the biocontrol bacteria are specifically spread to the pest activity area or host plant, eliminating the need for multiple separate spraying or application, reducing labor and cost inputs, and achieving more efficient and green integrated pest management.
[0016] The natural enemy insect breeding and release device carrying biocontrol bacteria described in this utility model can release natural enemy insects and biocontrol bacteria at the same time. When the insects prey on or parasitize pests, the biocontrol bacteria can also attach to the surface of pests or plants, thus inhibiting or killing pests in a two-pronged approach and improving the efficiency of integrated pest management.

[0031] Depending on the situation, bio-protective agents are applied to the surfaces of the outer side plate 371, inner side plate 373, and platform 376, and insects or insect eggs are placed on them. Then, the outer side plate 371, inner side plate 373, and platform 376 are assembled to form a carrying component 37. The carrying component 37 is inserted into the corresponding partition 36 in the release tank 3. The cover 32 is installed at the open end of the release tank 3. Then, the release tank 3 is placed inside the outer casing 2.
