Background
The sugarcane dibotrys is an important stem-boring pest of sugarcane, is widely distributed in various sugarcane-planting countries, is distributed in various sugarcane areas in China, and harms millet, chyle, sorghum, corn and other crops besides sugarcane. The Diaphlus pyralis damages sugarcane by larvae, dead seedlings are formed in the seedling stage, the sugarcane is lack of seedlings and broken ridges, the stem borer nodes are caused in the growth period, the sugarcane yield is influenced, and the Diaphlus pyralis is a main stem borer pest on the sugarcane, so that the Diaphlus pyralis becomes one of main targets for preventing and controlling the sugarcane stem borers. However, no better method for breeding the sugarcane dibbler exists at present, and no sufficient insect source provides a basis for pest control.
The method for breeding the stem borers by using the sugarcane is introduced to be close to the field, the temperature, humidity and feed of the method are close to the field conditions, the feed is the sugarcane, but the detailed description of whether the feed is a sugarcane seedling or a sugarcane stem or other steps such as acquisition, preparation, replacement and the like of the feed are not introduced. The method also indicates that after three years of breeding, specific numbers and steps can be omitted for proving, the method also uses sugarcane seedlings and sugarcane stalks for comparative tests, the survival rate and the reproduction rate of the larvae of the Diatra nubilalis are lower than those of the Diatra nubilalis bred by corns, the generation number of the Diatra nubilalis bred by the corns is increased by 1-2 generations, more insect sources are provided, the cost is low, the operation is simple, and therefore, the Diatra nubilalis bred by the corns can be subcultured indoors.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the above, there is a need for a method for raising the chilo suppressalis, which can be subcultured indoors, has high survival rate and reproduction rate, and is low in cost.
According to one aspect of the invention, the invention provides a method for raising sugarcane dibbler, which comprises the following steps:
adding corn cobs into the insect breeding box;
putting the egg blocks of the chilo suppressalis into a first culture dish, and then putting the first culture dish into an insect breeding box;
when the egg mass of the Diatra medinalis is primarily hatched into larvae in a first culture dish, keeping supplying the corn cobs until the larvae pupate;
taking the pupae out, putting the pupae into a second culture dish for moisturizing, and putting the second culture dish into an insect cage until the pupae eclosion;
putting sugarcane seedlings and honey water into the insect rearing cage, and allowing adults to lay eggs on sugarcane seedling leaves;
and cutting off the sugarcane seedlings with the attached egg blocks, putting the sugarcane seedlings into a first culture dish, and then circulating the steps.
In one embodiment, the corn cob is fresh corn cob, stored in a refrigerator at 4 deg.C, peeled off, and cut into pieces before being placed in the insect-keeping box.
In one embodiment, the concentration of the hydromel is 10%.
The method for breeding the chilo suppressalis has the advantages of higher survival rate and reproduction rate, 1-2 generations of generations increased compared with the conventional method for breeding the chilo suppressalis by using corns, simplicity in operation and low cost, so that the chilo suppressalis can be bred indoors, and a stable and sufficient insect source can be provided for insect pest research.
Detailed Description
To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the following specific examples. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, this embodiment is provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
The method for raising the chilo suppressalis of the embodiment comprises the following steps:
s1, adding corn cobs into the insect breeding box;
s2, placing the egg blocks of the Diatra medinalis into a first culture dish, and then placing the first culture dish into an insect box;
s3, hatching egg masses of the Diatra walker in a first culture dish to form larvae, and keeping supplying corn cobs until the larvae pupate;
s4, taking out the pupae, putting the pupae into a second culture dish for moisturizing, and putting the second culture dish into an insect cage until the pupae eclosion;
s5, placing sugarcane seedlings and honey water in an insect rearing cage, and allowing adults to lay eggs on sugarcane seedling leaves;
s6, cutting the sugarcane seedlings with the attached egg blocks, and placing the sugarcane seedlings into a first culture dish.
S7, the above steps S1 to S6 are repeated.
Specifically, the breeding method of the embodiment is carried out in a laboratory, the indoor temperature is kept at 25-28 ℃, and the relative humidity is 75-85%.
Specifically, the corn cobs used in this example are fresh, peeled and sweet corn cobs that are safe and non-toxic (no pesticide is sprayed and no pest is damaged), and are brought back to the laboratory to be stored in a refrigerator at 4 ℃ for later use, when used, the corn cobs can be taken out and peeled, and then cut into 5 cm-long sections with a knife.
Specifically, in step S1, fresh corn cobs are cut into segments and placed into sterilized insect boxes, and one insect box holds a segment of corn cobs.
Specifically, in step S2, the darkened egg masses of the chilo suppressalis are placed in first culture dishes with four layers of gauze, and four darkened egg masses of the chilo suppressalis are placed in one first culture dish.
Specifically, in step S2, a wet cotton ball is placed in the first culture dish for moisturizing.
Specifically, in step S3, the first culture dish is placed in a previously prepared insect box, and then the box cover is closed, and the first hatched larva after hatching automatically climbs into the corn cob for eating. And after all the larvae which are hatched into the corn cobs, taking out the dead leaves of the egg shells and the first culture dish from the larva breeding box, and only remaining the corn cobs of the larvae of the Diatra. Treat that the corn-on-cob is got by the larva and eats the back, the larva can climb out by oneself, prepare 4 insect feeding boxes of putting the corn-on-cob this moment, put into 4 insect feeding boxes that have the maize section with the brush gently with the larva respectively, roughly 30 larvae are put into to every insect feeding box, raise under same humiture condition. Raising until the larva climbs out by itself, replacing the larva raising box again, moving the larva into the larva raising box with fresh corn section, adjusting the corn section to 3cm in length at the moment, and starting pupation when the larva is fed to the end age.
Specifically, during pupation, most Diaochinia nubilalis can drill out corn cobs and pupate in a box, and in the pupation period, the pupae are taken out by a plastic small spoon when the occurrence of the pupae is observed every day; a small part of larvae are left in the corn for pupation, and the pupae can be taken out after pupation.
Specifically, in step S4, the pupae are placed in second culture dishes with four layers of gauze, 30 pupae are placed in each second culture dish, the wet cotton balls are placed in the second culture dishes for moisture preservation and are placed in insect cages, water is added to the wet cotton balls every day for moisture preservation, the second culture dishes are replaced every two days, and four pupae culture dishes can be placed in each insect cage for emergence.
Specifically, in step S5, a can bottle filled with sugarcane seedlings is placed in an insect cage with pupas, water is filled in the can bottle to keep the sugarcane seedlings fresh, adults mate in the cage after eclosion and lay eggs on sugarcane seedling leaves, a culture dish paved with four layers of gauze is placed in the insect cage, honey water with the concentration of 10% is added into the culture dish, wet cotton balls are placed in the culture dish for moisturizing, the adults are supplemented with nutrition, the honey water is added every day, and the culture dish is replaced every two days.
Specifically, in step S6, the egg pieces on the leaves of the sugarcane seedlings are cut off with leaves every day and cut into strips with a length of 8cm, the two ends of the leaves of the sugarcane seedlings are moisturized with wet cotton and placed into culture dishes paved with four layers of gauze, wet cotton balls are placed into the culture dishes, the culture dishes are placed into insect-raising boxes, four eggs can be placed into each culture dish, water is added into the wet cotton balls every day for moisturizing, so that the leaves of the sugarcane seedlings with the egg pieces keep tender green and are kept black. After the larvae are hatched, the steps from S1 to S6 are repeated, and the operation of the embodiment is circulated, so that the larvae can be subcultured.
