The invention discloses a method for preventing and controlling tomato leaf miners by using adult ladybirds, which comprises the following steps: preying larvae of the first, second and third
instar of the tomato leaf miners in a submerged channel by using the adult ladybirds in a room, and preying the larvae of the first, second and third
instar of the tomato leaf miners in the submerged channel by using the adult ladybirds; and in the field, releasing the ladybird adults by using a cage method to prevent and control the tomato leaf miners. According to the method, it is clear that the adult ladybird can prey on the first, second and third
instar larvae of the tomato
leaf miner in the subterranean channel, a Holding II type
predation function
reaction model is fitted, and a theoretical basis is provided for field release of the adult ladybird to prevent and control the tomato
leaf miner. The field prevention and
control effect of the heterodyea axyridis on the tomato
leaf miner is defined, and a theoretical basis is provided for green prevention and control of the tomato leaf miner and further development and utilization of the heterodyea axyridis. According to the method, the heterodyea axyridis can be used as one of superior
natural enemies for preventing and controlling the tomato leaf miners, the tomato leaf miners are prevented and controlled for a long time,
pesticide pollution is reduced, pests are prevented from generating
drug resistance, and a green prevention and control technology of agricultural pests is facilitated.
