Background
The Harmonia axyridis is a common predatory natural enemy, belongs to Coleoptera (Coleoptera) in Harmonia axyridis, and is widely distributed in various areas (Liuzhao, etc., 2009) except hongkong in China, has the characteristics of strong adaptability, wide feeding property, large feeding amount, strong fertility and the like, has a strong control effect on eggs of aphids, whiteflies, scale insects, mites and lepidoptera pests, is currently used as an advantageous natural enemy and is widely concerned in world biocontrol research and application (Koch, 2003). At present, the application of harmonia axyridis in biological control is mainly limited by large-scale artificial feeding and industrial production, and is particularly reflected in the lack of artificial feed with low cost and good feeding effect; the feeding technology is not perfect enough, the collection of eggs and pupa is time-consuming and labor-consuming, the self-mutilation can not be effectively reduced, etc.
The harmonia axyridis as an excellent predatory natural enemy insect has important application value in biological control due to wide adaptability and excellent pest control capability. Although natural prey can well meet the nutritional requirements of growth, development and mass propagation of the harmonia axyridis, the natural prey is complex in operation, difficult to control and high in cost, and cannot be used in mass production of the harmonia axyridis in a factory, so that the development of a suitable artificial feed is necessary for realizing the artificial large-scale propagation of the harmonia axyridis in biological control. Artificial mass rearing is an important basis for application of natural enemies, and the traditional rearing method mainly depends on natural prey. This plant-pest-natural enemy feeding system is extremely space and labor demanding, costly, and often difficult to maintain continuously. In the practice of mass rearing of predatory natural enemies, the use of artificial feed or alternative food in place of natural prey is an important method.
In recent decades, scholars at home and abroad have made a great deal of research on artificial feed for harmonia axyridis. The research of the artificial feed for predatory ladybug in China begins in the later stage of the 50 th century, and the research on practical feed is more and makes great progress. Among them, the research report on the artificial feed for harmonia axyridis is found in the later 70 th generation of the 20 th century. The research on the artificial feed for the harmonia axyridis is the basis for the next large-scale feeding, and is the premise of the application of the artificial feed as a biological control means. The physical form of the artificial feed has a significant influence on the feeding effect (zhang 23678, 2014). In order to adapt to the chewing mouthparts of the harmonia axyridis and facilitate the taking of the harmonia axyridis, the artificial feed is designed into a solid form or is wrapped in a proper mode. The existing artificial feed for harmonia axyridis is pasty feed for some and powdery feed for others, which are not convenient for taking. In the process of feeding the harmonia axyridis indoors, the shortage of aphid sources and the limitation of seasons affect the artificial mass feeding and breeding of the harmonia axyridis, so that the biological control work in the next year cannot be normally carried out.
The applicant designs an artificial feed for harmonia axyridis, which is simple, convenient and feasible in formula, labor-saving, low in cost, regular in insect testing and capable of being used for indoor large-scale feeding, by combining the actual conditions of local and the laboratory and adding eggs and chilo suppressalis larva powder invading harmful organisms of ampullaria gigas on the basis of predecessors.
