Abstract:

In order to clarify the field efficient release application technology of Trichogramma japonicum against the first generation of Chilo suppressalis in early-season rice fields, we conducted a study on the control effects of Trichogramma japonicum under different wasp release initiation time, release amount and number of releases,as well as in combination with chemical control in Zhenhai and Fenghua District of Ningbo City from 2017 to 2018. The results showed that control effect of wasp release from the initial emergence period, the beginning peak period and peak period was best, with a control effect of 54.06%. While the number of releases remained unchanged, control effects of release 40 000 and 50 000 every 667 m2 were 65.65% and 67.32%, respectively,which were significantly higher than the effect of 30 000 every 667 m2.While the total release amount remained unchanged, the control effects of release times of 3 and 4, were significantly higher than the control effects of release times of 2. The control effect of times of 3 followed by one time of chemical control can significantly improve the comprehensive control effect against the Chilo suppressalis and its control effect was equivalent to that of two times of chemical control. Therefore, in order to ensure the control measures of releasing Trichogramma japonicum are cost-effective,it is necessary to determine the reasonable release time, amount and frequency based on the actual occurrence of the overwintering generation of Chilo suppressalis, when Trichogramma japonicum was applied to control the first generation of Chilo suppressalis in early-season rice fields.
