Biological control based IPM of insect pests on sweet pepper in greenhouse in the summer.

Biological-control-based-integrated-pest-management of major pests occurring on sweet pepper in greenhouse during summer season was tried. As many as 2.1 Orius laevigatus per were released in two times on June 6 and 19, and the population of thrips was kept under control and accordingly the damage was negligible throughout the season. To control aphids, a total of 0.8 Aphidius colemani per were released in four times, 0.2 of them at a time, flonicamid on May 14 and July 18 and pymetrozine on June 14 and September 4 were sprayed on the spots of high aphid occurrence to reduce the release of the wasp, and the density of aphids was kept under control. Whitefly was controlled successfully by releasing a total of 343.4 Amblyseius swirski per in nine times, 38.1 of them at a time, from May 9 until November 12 and dinotefuran was sprayed on November 12 when the density of whitefly increased up to 200 per trap. Tetranichus kanzawai was controlled by both Phytoseiulus persimilis which was released a total of 44.4 per in five times 8.9 of them at a time from May 23 to September 10, and the A. swirski which was released for the control of whitefly.

Biological control of insect pests with arthropod natural enemies on greenhouse sweet pepper in winter cropping system.

This study reports the results of natural enemy application against four insect pests on greenhouse sweet pepper in winter cropping system. Orius laevigatus () was released at two different times (Nov. 2005 & Feb. 2006) to control Frankliniella occidentalis, western flower thrips (WFT). Throughout the cropping season, the lowest level recorded of WFT was less than 2.0 individuals per yellow sticky trap. Amblyseius swirskii () was released four times (Nov. 2007 ~ Aug. 2008) to control Bemisia tabaci, tobacco whitefly (TWF). Until July 2008, TWF population had been suppressed lower than 6.6/trap. Phytoseiulus persimilis () was released seven times (Apr. 2008 ~ Aug. 2008) to control Tetranychus kanzawai, tea red spider mite (TRSM). As a result, TRSM population was suppressed lower than 1.7/1eaf. To control aphids, Aphidius colemani () was released seven times (Oct. 2004 ~ Jan. 2005), with the transplantation of banker plants (). As a whole, aphid`s population has been successfully reduced to less than 2.0/leaf.

Control Efficacy of Natural Enemies on Four Arthropod Pests found in Greenhouse Hot Pepper

The effect of natural enemies on four major pests of hot pepper was tested in greenhouses. The aphids were successfully controlled by introducing three Aphidius colemani-banker plants, and releasing 23.3 wasps per on April 16 and 23 wasps per in a greenhouse of 660 . To control thrips, Orius laevigatus was released twice, 3.0 bugs per at a time(May and June ). The thrips population was controlled within 0.3 thrips per flower during the growing season. To control two species of mites, Tetranychus kanzawai and Polyphagotarsonemus latus, and the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, a total of 113.7 individuals of Amblyseius swirskii were released twice(May and ). The densities of B. tabaci and T. kanzawai were kept within 171.0 individuals/trap and 0.8 individual/leaf, respectively. P. latus was suppressed completely twelve days after release. The cost of the released natural enemies to control the four arthropod pests in this study was 420,000 Won per 660 .

The Effect of Temperatures on the Biological Characteristics of Two Aphid Parasitoids Aphelinus asychis (Walker) and Aphelinus varipes (Förster) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) on Two Aphid Hosts

ABSTRACT: This study compared the Aphelinus varipes and Aphelinus asychis in terms of how they parasitized the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii and green peach aphid, Myzus persicae. Host-feeding, parasitism, emergence, the proportion of females and development time were all studied at 15, 20, 25 and 30 ℃ in controlled climate cabinets. When A. gossypii were provided for the two aphid parasitoids, the number of aphids killed by host-feeding for A. varipes (5.4 and 9.7 aphids) at 15 ℃ and 25 ℃ was higher than those for A. asychis (2.0 an d2.9 aphids). At 15℃ and 30℃, the parasitized A. gossypii were higher in A. varipes (11.1 and 21 aphids) than in A. asychis (7 and 12.3 aphids). The emergence rate was also significantly different between A. varipes (83.3%) and A. asychis (69.4%). The proportion of femaleswas higher for A. asychis (75.2 and 73.9%) than for A. varipes (19.5 and 48.6%) at 15 ℃ and 30 ℃, respectively. No significant difference swere found in development time between the two parasitoids. When M. persicae were provided for the two parasitoid species, the host-feeding number and the emergence rate of two parasitoids were not different at all four temperatures. The M. persicae were more highly parasitized by A. varipes (12.1 and 17.1 aphids) than by A. asychis (6.1, 10 aphids) at 20 and 25 ℃. The proportion of females fo rA. varipes (65.3 and 90.0%) was higher than that for A. asychis (34.4 and 78.8%) at 15 ℃ and 25 ℃. The development time from ovipositio nto the adult emergence of A. varipes (19.9 d) was significantly longer than that of A. asychis (16.5 d) at 20 ℃. Development times decrease dwith increasing temperature for both in two parasitoid species.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the biological control of Aulacorthum solani, a comparative analysis was carried out using an indigenous natural enemy, Ephedrus plagiator , and an exotic parasitoid, Aphidius ervi . Lifespan, spawning periods, number of mummies, number o f offspring, and developmental periods of the two parasitoids on Aulacorthum solani and Acyrthosiphon pisum were studied at 15, 20, 25, an d30°C with a photoperiod 16 h (L): 8 h (D). The lifespan of E. plagiator (5.3 days) was relatively higher than that of A. ervi (2.3 days) whe nthese parasitoids were reared on A. solani at 15°C. Similarly, the spawning period of E. plagiator (5.3 days) was longer than that of A. ervi (2.2days). When the two aphid parasitoids were provisioned with A. solani , the numbers of E. plagiator mummies at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C wer e71.5, 41, 15.7, and 7.7, respectively, whereas at the same temperatures, the numbers of A. ervi mummies were 22.1 16.3, 6.2, and 0.4, respectively. In contrast, when provision with A. pisum, the numbers of E. plagiator mummies at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C were 70.3, 69.8,34.3, and 8.4, whereas the numbers of A. ervi mummies were 93.4, 71.2, 34.8, and 14.5, respectively. The numbers of E. plagiator offspringemerging at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C were 42.1, 36, 11.6, and 0, whereas the numbers of A. ervi offspring emerging were relatively lower a t19.6, 13.5, 3.7, and 0.1, respectively. By comparing these results, it can be concluded that E. plagiator is a more efficient parasitoid of A.solani, whereas A. ervi is more efficient on A. pisum.Key words: Aulacorthum solani, Acyrthosiphon pisum, Ephedrus plagiator, Aphidius ervi, Natural enemies초 록: 싸리수염진딧물(Aulacorthum solani ) 방제를 위해 기생성 천적으로 국내에서 선발한 목화검정진디벌 (Ephedrus plagiator )과 외국에서 판매되고 있는 진디벌(Aphidius ervi )을 비교 조사하였다. 성충 수명과 산란 기간, 머미수, 우화충수 등에 대한 우열성을 싸리수염진딧물과 완두수염진딧물(Acyrthosiphon pisum)을 대상으로 온도 15, 20, 25, 30℃와 광주기 16(L) : 8(D)의 조건에서 조사하였다. 성충 수명은 15℃에서 목화검정진디벌이 싸리수염진딧물에서 5.9일로 진디벌 3.6일에 비해 2.3일 길었다. 산란 기간도 15℃의 싸리수염진딧물에서 목화검정진디벌이 5.3일인 반면, 진디벌은 2.2일로 상대적으로 짧았다. 싸리수염진딧물에서 목화검정진디벌과 진디벌의 머미수는 목화검정진디벌이 15, 20, 25, 30℃에서 각각 71.5, 41.0, 15.7, 7.7개로 진디벌의 22.1 16.3 6.2, 0.4 보다 많이 기생하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 완두수염진딧물에서 목화검정진디벌의 머미수는 70.3, 69.8, 34.3, 8.4 개로 93.4, 71.2, 34.8, 14.5 로 조사된 진디벌의 머미수보다 낮았다. 싸리수염진딧물에서 목화검정진디벌의 우화충수는 42.1, 36, 11.6, 0로 나타나 30℃의 높은 온도에서는 우화하지 않은 것을 알 수 있었다. 진디벌의 경우에는 우화 개체수가 각 온도에서 19.6, 13.5, 3.7, 0.1로 나타나 목화검정진디벌에 비해 상대적으로 적게 우화한 것으로 조사되었다. 두 종의 비교결과, 싸리수염진딧물에서는 목화검정진디벌이, 완두수염진딧물에서는 진디벌이 우수한 것으로 조사되었다.검색어: 싸리수염진딧물, 완두수염진딧물, 목화검정진디벌, 진디벌, 천적*Corresponding author: br0choi@korea.krReceived October 13 2014; Revised October 31 2014Accepted November 7 2014

Developmental Performance and Parasitism of Trichogramma chilonis Ishii on Eggs of the Oriental Tobacco Budworm, Helicoverpa assulta(Guenee), and the American Bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) Depending on Previous Hosts

The parasitism, development time, hatchability, and progeny production of Trichogramma chilonis(TC) females developed in eggs of Helicoverpa assulta (HAs), Cadra cautella (CC), and Helicoverpa armigera (HAr), respectively, were compared with those developed in reciprocal eggs at constant temperatures of and relative humidity of 50~70% under 16L-8D. Developmental performances of TC reared in each of the three hosts on the following hosts(host tested) appeared differently, and were affected most by the size of the proceeding hosts and test host. Among the parameters parasitism and progeny production were affected more than others. Parasitism was significantly different between the treatments, lowest in CC-HAr() and highest in HAr-HAs(), and the hatchability showed similar pattern. Development time as well was shortest in the CC-HAr where previous host is smallest and test host is biggest. The highest number of progeny production of TC was observed in HAr-HAs( wasps), and the lowest was CC-HAs( wasps).
