Abstract:

Chilo suppressalis is a major pest in rice. In order to determine the rhythm of the overwintering generation of Chilo suppressalis to the search light traps, we divided the night into 11 time points (19:00-20:00、20:00-21:00、21:00-22:00、22:00-23:00、23:00-0:00、0:00-1:00、1:00-2:00、2:00-3:00、3:00-4:00、4:00-5:00和5:00-6:00) from April 1 to May 31, and used four intelligent light to investigate the number of Chilo suppressalis at each time point respectively, at Chongfu Town, Shimen Town, Wuzhen town and Tudian Town, respectively. Four chronological peaks of the moth populations in different periods of the overwintering generation differed greatly. The first peak obviously occurred only at Chongfu during 20:00-21:00, with the trapped number accounting for 19.48% of the first peak. The second peak attracted the largest amount of moths in overwintering generation, reaching the climax during 20:00-21:00 that took up 19.67%, 20.42% and 19.31% of the second peak respectively in Chongfu, Shimen and Tudian town. According to the third and forth peak, it got to the climax during 22:00-23:00, 23:00-0:00, 1:00-2:00 and 1:00-3:00, 1:00-2:00, 21:00-22:00, respectively in Chongfu, Shimen and Tudian. No obvious moth peaks was detected at the Wuzhen. On the whole, the peak amount of the trapped moths appeared during 20:00-21:00, and the trapped amount in the first half of the night was close to 60%. The first peak was similar to the second one in terms of the rhythm of response to search light trap of the moths in overwintering generation, meanwhile, the rhythms of the two peaks above differed greatly from those of the third and the forth one. We found that the rhythm of Chilo suppressalis in different overwintering places is different, which can provide a theoretical basis for the local rice green control and ecological management of the moths.
