The invention discloses a method for
artificial feeding of tobacco whiteflies, which belongs to the technical field of
insect feeding. The method provides a feed formula for the
artificial feeding of the tobacco whiteflies and a method for feeding by applying the feed, and the method comprises the steps of the acquisition and disinfection of tobacco
whitefly eggs, the preparation of an artificial all-
nutrition feed liquid, the preparation of a feeding container, the feeding and so on. The method has the advantages that the method realizes the aim of the indoor
artificial feeding of the tobacco whiteflies all the year around, can obtain various
instar insects with relatively consistent biological type,
instar stage, state and so on, overcome the defect that easy influence by different
host plants, biological types, growth states,
instar stages and so on, caused by acquiring
insect sources from natural birthplaces leads to the defect that the difference exists in experimental results, and ensure the
standardization of test insects for experiments. The method can be used for
experimental research on biological characteristics and a high-efficiency prevention and control technology of the tobacco whiteflies.
