摘要
摘要:商业生物控制剂的质量评估对于确保生物控制计划的成功至关重要。重要的是,温室生产商应评估从BC供应商处收到的BC制剂在释放到温室生产系统中之前是否有效。我们进行了一项初步研究,以确定白蝇类寄生蜂的两个供应商Eretmoseurus eremicus Rose和Zolnerowich(膜翅目:Apelinidae)的发货质量。将含有红薯粉虱寄生蛹的释放卡,即烟粉虱(半翅目:Aleyrodidae),分别放入500 mL梅森罐中,并将一张4 x 5 cm的黄色粘性卡贴在内盖上。我们发现从两个供应商那里收到的两批货物有差异。在第一批货物中,供应商B在黄色粘卡上捕获的成年人平均人数高于供应商a(实验室:10.1人对4.2人,经销商:19.1人对5.9人)。然而,在第二批货物中,供应商A在黄色粘性卡上捕获的成年人平均人数高于供应商B(实验室:14.5人对8.1人,经销商:20.9人对8.0人)。我们的初步研究表明,BC制剂的配方(放行卡)和成人的出现可能因提供BC制剂的供应商的个别发货而异。因此,温室生产商应在将购买的BC药剂投放温室之前,制定对其进行质量评估的协议,以确保他们有最好的机会成功地将害虫种群控制在破坏水平以下。
Quality Assessment of Shipments of the Parasitoid Eretmocerus eremicus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) Received from Two Biological Control Suppliers
ABSTRACT: Quality assessments of commercially available biological control (BC) agents is important to ensure the success of a BC program. It is important that greenhouse producers assess if BC agents received from BC suppliers are alive and functional before releasing into greenhouse production systems. We conducted a preliminary study to determine the quality of shipments from two suppliers of the whitefly parasitoid, Eretmocerus eremicus Rose & Zolnerowich (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae). Release cards containing parasitized pupae of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), were individually placed into 500 mL Mason jars and a 4 x 5 cm yellow sticky card was attached to the inner lids. We found differences between the two shipments received from the two suppliers. For the first shipment, supplier B had a higher mean number of adults captured on the yellow sticky cards than supplier A (Laboratory: 10.1 versus 4.2 and Distributor: 19.1 versus 5.9 adults, respectively). However, for the second shipment, supplier A had a higher mean number of adults captured on the yellow sticky cards than supplier B (Laboratory: 14.5 versus 8.1 and Distributor: 20.9 versus 8.0 adults, respectively). Our preliminary study shows that formulations (release cards) of BC agents and emergence of adults can vary depending on individual shipments from the supplier providing the BC agents. Therefore, greenhouse producers should develop protocols for quality assessments of purchased BC agents before releasing them into greenhouses to ensure they have the best chance of successfully regulating pest populations below damaging levels.
