Application Of Feeding Stimulator On The Control And Management Of The Adult Pest

Feeding stimulant such as honey could improve the infection of baculovirus to the larvae of insect pests. In the current paper, a compound, including 20% honey which attracted the diamondback moth and its larval parasite, Cotesia plutellae, and Plutella xylostella granulovirus (PxGV) which contaminated the adult and the parasite, was used to evaluate the transmission effect of PxGV. The results indicated that: (1) Diamondback moth contacted the compound resulted in the death of the progeny larvae and the mortality resulted by PxGV was 12.3%. (2) The parasite contacted the compound also resulted in the death of the larvae of diamondback moth and the mortality resulted by PxGV was 35.3%. (3) Infection of PxGV disturbed the development of the parasite markedly. The advantages and disadvantages of mixing feeding stimulant into baculovirus insecticides were summarized in the last.The synergy of honey and cabbage filtrate on Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) and Bacillus thringiensis (Bt) against the larvae of plusia agnate was studied. The results indicated that the percentage of mortality of the larvae and the diet consumption in the first 3 days after inoculation increased,LT₅₀ and total diet consumption decreased in AcNPV+ feeding adjuvants treated compared with those of in AcNPV only treated. As for Bt, honey alse raised the larvae mortality, but the death process showed no difference.Chelidonine is a material from plant and it was proved to be highly synergic activity on Dipterex to Helicoverpa armigera by bioassay indoor. It is a potential insecticide synergy of plant origin and maybe can be used in pest control.Regard insect behavior ecology as guidelines, based the reproduction control, the importance of the adult pest management strategy and the possibility of adopting tactics is discussed.
