啶酰菌胺与咪鲜胺复配对核盘菌的联合毒力测定

为筛选防治向日葵菌核病的有效药剂,明确不同杀菌剂复配对核盘菌的联合毒力,测定了啶酰菌胺与咪鲜胺复配对核盘菌菌丝生长、菌核的萌发及生理代谢的影响。试验结果表明,不同比例啶·咪复配对核盘菌均有良好的抑制作用,二者复配比例为1:1时,增效系数为1.7657,增效作用最强;啶·咪复配能够有效抑制核盘菌的生长,降低菌核的萌发率和子囊盘形成率,其效果明显优于两单剂;啶·咪复配处理下,核盘菌草酸的分泌量和细胞壁降解酶的活性显著降低,核盘菌的Ss-oah1、Ss-pg1和Ss-pg3等3个致病相关基因的表达量与空白对照相比分别下调了69.90%、55.00%和71.30%。结果表明,啶酰菌胺与咪鲜胺复配,能有效抑制核盘菌的生长,降低核盘菌的致病力,是防治向日葵菌核病的有效复配药剂。     

Resistance to insects by cabbage lines developed in New York when grown in South Texas

Brassica oleracea (L.) germplasm, developed at the New York Agricultural Experiment Station (NYAES), Geneva, as advanced cabbage breeding lines with resistance to lepidopterous pests, was grown in south Texas. Resistance, as measured in terms of insects present on plants, of the breeding lines to arthropod pests was compared with that of cultivars commonly grown in south Texas by monitoring populations of insect pests on the various lines and cultivars. Breeding lines developed at NYAES retained their desired characteristics for resistance to naturally occurring populations of Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) and Plutella xylostella (L.) and also were found to be resistant to Brevicoryne brassicae (L.). A red cabbage cultivar, Red Rock, was found to be more susceptible to Pemphigus populitransversus Riley populations than all other lines or cultivars. Murgantia histrionica (Hahn) was present during one growing season and some NYAES lines that were infested with low numbers of lepidopterous larvae and aphids became heavily infested with this species. Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) populations did not occur in great enough abundance to evaluate differences in resistance among lines and cultivars in 1984 or 1985.     

饲料喂养方法评估草地贪夜蛾对玉米田多种植物的适应性

了解不同植物对植食性昆虫生物学特性的影响是昆虫-植物互作研究的基础,对制定有效的害虫防控策略具有重要意义。入侵害虫草地贪夜蛾（Spodoptera frugiperda）可能危害的植物多达353种,但大多数寄主植物对其生物学特性的影响尚不清楚。采集植物新鲜叶片饲喂植食性昆虫幼虫是研究的通用方法,而此方法受气候、地理位置、植物生长周期等条件的限制。以玉米（Zea mays）为参照,选取玉米农田及其周边的6种作物和杂草为试验材料,包括大豆（Glycine max）、豇豆（Vigna unguiculata）、番薯（Ipomoea batatas）、艾草（Artemisia argyi）、油麦菜（Lactuca sativa）和黄瓜（Cucumis sativus）。将上述植物的新鲜叶片统一采集、磨成粉末,按1%比例掺入人工饲料中,分别用这些饲料喂养草地贪夜蛾幼虫,观测其存活（幼虫存活率、化蛹率、羽化率）、生长（幼虫增重、蛹重、相对生长率）、发育历期（幼虫期、预蛹期、蛹期）和食物利用情况（相对消耗率、近似消化率、食物转化率、消化转化率）等,探究草地贪夜蛾取食这7种植物后的生物学特性。为验证植物叶片粉末饲料喂养方法的可行性,同时采集上述植物的新鲜叶片分别喂养草地贪夜蛾幼虫。结果显示大豆、豇豆是草地贪夜蛾适宜的寄主植物;而番薯、艾草、油麦菜对草地贪夜蛾的生长发育具有抑制作用,若将其运用于玉米间作系统中,可减轻草地贪夜蛾的为害。运用层次分析法建立指标评价体系进行量化评分,结果表明,植物粉末饲料和新鲜叶片喂养的效应一致,且前者限制条件少、操作简便,可较好地评估农田植物对草地贪夜蛾生物学特性的影响。     

Sclerotinia and Phomopsis — two devastating sunflower pathogens

Cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is prone to many diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses, of which the most detrimental are those caused by fungi. Two of the most important fungal pathogens are Sclerotinia and Phomopsis. Within the genus Sclerotinia, both S. minor and S. sclerotiorum cause a basal stalk rot and subsequent wilt of sunflower, with S. sclerotiorum more widely distributed around the world. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum also incites a head rot and mid-stem rot of sunflower. Since Sclerotinia spp. have a very wide host range and can persist in soil as dormant sclerotia for up to 10 years, the pathogens have been extremely difficult to control with either generic resistance or fungicides. The most effective control is the use of long rotations, tolerant hybrids, and sclerotium-free seed. Gray stem spot is a relatively new disease of sunflower first observed in the early 1980s in Yugoslavia and now considered the most devastating sunflower disease in eastern Europe. Symptoms include large stem cankers and subsequent wilt. Phomopsis helianthi has been identified as one incitant of gray stem spot, but another Phomopsis species may also be involved, both in Europe and in the United States. Foliar fungicides can control gray stem spot, but the development of resistant hybrids has been much more cost-effective.     

The effect of low dose ultraviolet light-C seed treatment on induced resistance in cabbage to black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris)

Low doses of hormetic (n. hormesis) ultraviolet light-C (UV-C) seed treatments were used to elicit host resistance to black rot, and improve the quality and growth response of cabbages in greenhouse studies. Different UV-C doses (1.3 to 7.5 kJ m⁻²) were tested to determine their ability to induce resistance to black rot. The optimum UV-C dose of 3.6 kJ m⁻² was effective in reducing black rot and the population density of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris in infected cabbage leaves. Seeds treated with UV-C at 3.6 kJ m⁻² produced plants with the most desirable color, highest weight, largest head diameter and delayed maturity. The effect of storage time at room temperature on disease incidence of black rot of cabbage from seeds treated with a low hormetic UV-C dose of 3.6 kJ m⁻², was 90%, 40%, 60% and 60% reduction of black rot in plants from UV-C treated seeds stored for 2 days, 1, 5, and 8 months, respectively, 8 weeks after transplanting cabbage plants.     

Biological control of foliar pathogens by means of Trichoderma harzianum and potential modes of action

Biocontrol of foliar diseases is an alternative means of management of foliar pathogens. One of the most studied commercial biocontrol agents is isolate T39 of Trichoderma harzianum which can be regarded as a model to demonstrate biocontrol under commercial conditions and the mechanisms involved. This biocontrol agent (BCA) controls the foliar pathogens, Botrytis cinerea, Pseuperonospora cubensis, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Sphaerotheca fusca (syn. S. fuliginea) in cucumber under commercial greenhouse conditions. Control efficacy was similar for three different rates (covering a fourfold range). Involvement of locally and systemically induced resistance has been demonstrated. Cells of the BCA applied to the roots, and dead cells applied to the leaves of cucumber plants induced control of powdery mildew. The BCA suppressed enzymes of B. cinerea, such as pectinases, cutinase, glucanase and chitinase, through the action of protease secreted on plant surfaces. A combination of several modes of action is responsible for biocontrol. However, biocontrol is not achieved by means of antibiotics or by mycoparasitism, in spite of the fact that BCA has the potential to degrade cell-wall polymers, such as chitin.     

核盘菌Ss160的基因克隆与功能初探

由核盘菌（Sclerotinia sclerotiorum）引起的菌核病是油菜等十字花科作物的重要病害，对油菜的产量品质造成严重影响。本研究基于转录组数据筛选到一个核盘菌基因Ss160 (Sscle04g035160)，发现Ss160在接种油菜的核盘菌中高度表达。生物信息分析表明该基因具有信号肽，且序列在真菌界高度保守。亚细胞定位显示Ss160无特异性的定位，烟草叶片瞬时表达Ss160在核盘菌离体叶接种实验中病斑扩展显著小于表达空载体的和野生型烟草叶片，暗示异源表达Ss160能够提高植物的菌核病抗性。基于酵母系统的体外实验证明Ss160具有转录激活能力。该研究结果为后续Ss160在核盘菌-植物互作中功能机制的研究提供基础，也为油菜菌核病的研究提供借鉴和参考。

不同品系昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫的致病力研究

为明确市售昆虫病原线虫制剂对蜂巢小甲虫（Aethina tumida）幼虫和蛹的致病力,为该害虫的防治提供新的技术措施,室内采用浸渍法、土壤法测定了5种不同品系昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫末龄老熟幼虫和蛹的致病力,采用土壤法测定了小卷蛾斯氏线虫（Steinernema carpocapsae All）不同施用时间、不同施用剂量对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫致病力的影响。浸渍法生物测定结果表明,5种不同品系昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的致病力差异很大,其中小卷蛾斯氏线虫All侵染4 d、12 d后,蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的校正死亡率分别为67.50%±0.05%和72.36%±3.14%,均显著高于其他品系。土壤法生物测定结果表明,昆虫病原线虫对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫具有明显的致死作用,其中小卷蛾斯氏线虫All对蜂巢小甲虫幼虫的侵染效果达100%,显著高于其他线虫品系。蜂巢小甲虫幼虫入土后,按不同时间顺序施用小卷蛾斯氏线虫All,结果表明14 d前施用均能取得良好的防治效果。侵染期线虫小卷蛾斯氏线虫All与蜂巢小甲虫幼虫数量之比大于213∶1时,防治效果最佳。因此小卷蛾斯氏线虫All具有防治蜂巢小甲虫的潜力,可在发生蜂巢小甲虫危害的蜂场推荐使用。     

四倍体白掌新品种‘绿萌'的选育

白掌又名白鹤芋,原产于美洲和亚洲的热带地区,为天南星科白鹤芋属多年生草本植物,是重要的观花观叶盆栽植物,当前市场主栽品种基本源于国外,多为人工杂交产生的后代。利用人工诱变技术对植物体细胞染色体组进行加倍的多倍体育种方法已应用于观赏花卉新品种的选育,多倍体植株具有叶片增大、叶色加深、花朵变大、花色艳丽等优良性状,与二倍体比较,目标性状的观赏价值更高。利用化学诱变产生多倍体是目前人工多倍体育种中常用的诱导方法,其具有操作简易、突变率高、专一性强和适用性广等特点。秋水仙素是目前主要采用的多倍体化学诱变剂,其诱导的效果与诱导时间、使用的浓度、处理的植物种类和器官等因素有关。本研究以白掌‘美酒'的组培苗愈伤组织为材料,优化四倍体白掌诱导方法,经秋水仙素浸泡处理后,开展试管苗形态学初筛、田间种植优选及株系比较试验,同时进行染色体计数、气孔大小和基因组大小比较、四倍体白掌新品种选育。结果表明：最佳诱导四倍体白掌的方式为0.10%秋水仙素浸泡处理7 d,其四倍体诱导率最高;选育出的四倍体白掌新品种‘绿萌'在设施大棚种植时自然花期为4—6月,与对照‘美酒'相比,叶片长和宽、叶柄长和直径、叶鞘长、佛焰苞苞片长和宽、花梗长和直径、肉穗花序长和直径、气孔长度和宽度、气孔密度均差异极显著,根尖染色体数为2n=4X=60,是对照（2n=2X=30）的2倍。流式细胞仪测定DNA显示,‘绿萌'基因组大小为10.87 Gb,对照‘美酒'基因组大小为5.73 Gb,鉴定为四倍体白掌新品种。本研究利用人工化学诱变方法选育的四倍体白掌新品种‘绿萌',具有叶片增厚、叶色加深、茎杆变粗、叶柄变粗、花梗变粗、肉穗花序变粗等特点,大大提高了白掌的观赏价值。     

Insecticidal control of cereal aphids and its impact on the epidemiology of the barley yellow dwarf luteoviruses

Imidacloprid is a seed-applied nitroguanidine insecticide that has both contact and long-lasting systemic properties. Its direct effects on cereal aphid populations and indirect effects on barley yellow dwarf luteovirus (BYDV) incidence were examined in laboratory and field studies. Adult longevity and fecundity of three aphid species caged on various aged, imidacloprid-treated oat or wheat plants was reduced, although the quantitative efficacy of the compound differed among aphid species. The transmission efficiency of BYDV by aphids to imidacloprid-treated plants was lower, relative to nontreated plants, when plants were 10 days old, but similar to nontreated when plants were 24 days old. In three years of field trials using winter wheat and two years using spring oat, aphid populations were reduced significantly in imidacloprid-treated plots relative to nontreated plots. Although the number of alighting alate aphids did not differ significantly between imidacloprid-treated or nontreated plots, the number of apterous aphids remained significantly lower in the treated plots for the majority of the growing season. BYDV epidemics did not develop in spring oat in either of the two years. BYDV epidemics did develop in the fall in the emerging winter wheat crop. Rhopalosiphum maidis was the predominant aphid migrating into the 1991–1992 crop. The incidence of the BYDV-RMV serotype was three times higher in nontreated plots than in imidacloprid-treated plots. In the 1992–1993 and 1994–1995 seasons, R. maidis and R. padi were the predominant aphids migrating into the crop, although R. padi was the predominant colonizing aphid. The incidence of BYDV-RMV was similar in imidacloprid treated and nontreated plots in 1992–1993, but the incidence of the BYDV-PAV serotype was significantly less in the treated plots. In 1994–1995, the incidence of both BYDV-PAV and BYDV-RMV was higher in the nontreated plots than in the imidacloprid-treated plots. Imidacloprid offers several advantages both in terms of its long-lasting systemic activity and its mode of applicaiton. As a seed treatment, the amount of material applied is minimized, there is little waste and the environmental impacts are reduced. The effectiveness of the compound at reducing the fecundity or reproductive rate of several aphid species may be advantageous in controlling secondary spread of viruses. However, the contact properties of the compound, important in repelling aphids or preventing phloem feeding, may be short-lived, thus reducing its effectiveness in preventing primary spread of the virus into the crop, especially under high aphid and inoculum pressure.     

Development and growth of two Lesquerella species grown under different temperatures during the reproductive period

The genus Lesquerella is a promising source of hydroxy fatty acids (HFA). Several species such as Lesquerella fendleri and Lesquerella mendocina are candidate crops for arid and semi-arid cropping systems. Several reports are available on the environmental effects on growth and yield in Lesquerella, but information on the effect of temperature on plant growth and development specifically during the reproductive period in Lesquerella is limited. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of two contrasting thermal regimes after flowering on time to maturity, plant growth and biomass allocation to the different organs in L. fendleri and L. mendocina. A greenhouse experiment was conducted with plants grown at a range of 11–23 °C during the vegetative phase. After this stage, 50% of the plants of each species remained under the same temperature regime until maturity, whereas the other 50% was transferred to another module subjected to a range of 17–31 °C until maturity. The duration of the reproductive phase was reduced by 23 days in plants of both species in the 17–31 °C treatment compared to those at 11–23 °C, although no differences were observed when the length of the reproductive phase was measured in thermal-time units. Total plant biomass for both species was 20% greater in the 11–23 °C treatment. In L. fendleri, this increment occurred due to more vegetative shoot biomass, whereas in L. mendocina it was associated with greater reproductive and root biomass. No changes in biomass allocation were produced by temperature in L. fendleri, while in L. mendocina the lower temperature regime increased allocation to the reproductive organs, at the expense of a lower allocation to vegetative shoot. These results could be used to predict the specific temperature effects after flowering on yield under field conditions, and suggest that L. mendocina might be a promising perennial alternative for cooler sites.     

Toxicity of Acorus calamus rhizome powder from Eastern Nepal to Sitophilus granarius (L.) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae)

Powders prepared from sweetflag Acorus calamus rhizomes collected at both high (1700 m) and low (900 m) altitude in Eastern Nepal were admixed with wheat at concentrations in the range 0.05–2% w/w and the wheat infested with Sitophilus oryzae or S. granarius adults. Following a 7 day incubation, the mortality of both species was significantly lower at 20 °C than at 30 °C, and the material collected from high altitude was slightly less toxic than that from low altitude. The moisture content of the wheat (14 or 17%) and the part of the rhizome used to prepare the powder (young or mature growth) had no apparent effect on the toxicity of the preparation. Sitophilus granarius (L.) adults were more tolerant of the material than S. oryzae (L.), while the converse was true for larvae developing in treated grain. An admixture rate of approximately 2% w/w admixed rhizome powder was required to give complete kill of adults of both species following 7 days exposure at 20 °C, while a concentration of 1% w/w either prevented the emergence of adults or killed them rapidly following emergence when wheat containing eggs of either species was incubated for 7–8 weeks at 30 °C.

The β-asarone content of the rhizome powders was determined by GC-MS as 6.4 and 4.7% w/w (mature section of rhizomes collected at high and low altitudes, respectively) and 3.6 and 4.0% w/w (young sections of rhizomes collected at high and low altitudes, respectively). It is anticipated that, under field conditions and in the temperature range 20–30 °C, the initial residue of approximately 1300 mg/kg β-asarone required to disinfest wheat containing these weevil species would decline rapidly due to evaporation.     

Agronomic and economic evaluation of Sesbania rostrata green manure establishment in irrigated rice

Research on crop establishment methods may improve green manure performance, reduce costs, and increase the adaptability of pre-rice green manure technology in lowland rice-based cropping systems. A two-season field experiment was conducted at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños, Philippines in 1991–1992 to compare four establishment practices of Sesbania rostrata green manure (zero tillage, with tillage, relay cropping in rice for 2 or 4 weeks) with four mineral N fertilizer levels (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg urea N/ha) in an intensive irrigated lowland system with three rice crops per year. S. rostrata was grown twice a year during the 43-day dry-wet and wet-dry transition periods between the wet and dry season rice crops.

Grain yield potential and fertilizer responsiveness of rice was generally highest in the dry season. On the other hand, S. rostrata growth was more vigorous in the wet season (long-day period) than in the dry season, regardless of establishment method. Green manure N accumulation was lowest with zero tillage (30 and 90 kg N/ha in dry and wet season, respectively) and highest when it was relay-cropped for two weeks (60 and 180 kg N/ha in dry and wet season, respectively). Land preparation for Sesbania ensured best green manure stand (> 100 plants/m² vs 20–40 plants/m² at no-till establishments) but increased costs of green manuring by US$16/ha compared with other establishment methods. A quadratic response function between mineral fertilizer equivalence and green manure N indicated that up to 75 kg N/ha, lowland rice uses green manure N more efficiently than urea. Depending on season and establishment method, S. rostrata substituted for 35 to 90 kg of split-applied urea N. Benefit-cost ratios indicated that pre-rice green manure use in the wet season under the current fertilizer and labor prices in the Philippines was a less attractive economic option than mineral N fertilizer. This was true for all establishment methods. In the dry season, S. rostrata established by relay cropping gave the highest rate of return. The 2-week relay cropping of green manure with irrigated rice gave highest green manure N accumulation and rice grain yield, and may be economically viable where fertilizer prices are higher or labor costs are lower than in the Philippines.     

草地贪夜蛾不同虫口密度对海南鲜食玉米产量的影响及其经济阈值研究

草地贪夜蛾[Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith)]在海南省可周年繁殖,世代重叠严重,常年危害海南鲜食玉米,防治困难。为了解海南省不同虫口密度草地贪夜蛾幼虫在鲜食玉米各个阶段对其产量的影响,采用田间接种不同密度3龄幼虫的方法来模拟自然危害,研究其经济阈值。结果表明,苗期（4~6叶）、喇叭口期（8~10叶）和抽穗期（12~14叶）各阶段,虫口密度与危害程度的回归方程分别为：y=0.06ln(x)+0.1258、y=0.0546ln(x)+0.1863、y=0.0589ln(x)+0.0275,计算出不影响玉米产量的危害程度分别为：21.57%、28.34%、14.50%。虫口密度与总产量在苗期（4~6叶）、喇叭口期（8~10叶）和抽穗期（12~14叶）的回归方程分别为：y=-0.2508x+13.113、y=-0.1093x+12.721、y=-0.0616x+12.447,得出不影响产量的虫口密度分别为：5头/20株、7头/20株、9头/20株;各时期的经济阈值分别为：6~8头/20株、12~20头/20株、19~24头/20株。该研究结果为海南省鲜食玉米田草地贪夜蛾的精准防治及合理的农药减量提供科学依据,对提高防治经济效益、保护生态环境等具有重要意义。     

Resistance to the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius, and the probable modalities involved in wild Vigna

A large number of accessions belonging to selected wild Vigna species namely V. unguiculata subspecies dekindtiana, V. oblongifolia, and V. vexillata were evaluated using choice (DCAT) and no-choice (NCFT) laboratory feeding bioassays to determine their resistance to the pod borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius. The most resistant accessions belonged to V. vexillata, followed by those from V. oblongifolia, with a few outstanding exceptions from V. unguiculata. Even though the latter were the least resistant, they provided the greatest variability among the tested accessions. In the DCAT, the cultivated cowpea line, IT84S-2246, which was used as the susceptible control was always preferred for feeding by the larvae (feeding index [FI] of 1.10–2.60) than the V. unguiculata accessions (FI ranged from 0–0.52). Against the resistant control (itself belonging to V. vexillata), only a few accessions were less preferred, most of these being either V. vexillata or V. oblongifolia. Larvae lost weight on the most resistant from all three species, because they either did not feed, or fed very little. Weight gain was positively correlated with seed damage (r = 0.82, P < 0.01) and the amount of frass produced (r = 0.91, P < 0.01). Seed damage was also positively correlated with the amount of frass produced (r = 0.64, P < 0.05). On the basis of these results, we believe that both antibiosis (post-ingestive effects) and antixenosis (deterrence to boring into the pods to feed) modalities of resistance are involved. The results are discussed further in relation to the origin, domestication and use of these accessions in cowpea improvement.

温度对海岛小花蝽5龄若虫捕食茶黄蓟马功能反应的影响

海岛小花蝽（Orius maxidentex Ghauri）是蓟马的重要天敌昆虫,在热带地区,海岛小花蝽是优势天敌,对高温有较强的适应能力,较适合热带地区的害虫防治。目前海岛小花蝽对茶黄蓟马（Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood）的控害情况尚未明确,为了解海岛小花蝽对茶黄蓟马的控制作用,明确不同温度对海岛小花蝽捕食茶黄蓟马功能反应的影响。本研究以海岛小花蝽5龄若虫为例,在16、20、24、28、32℃温度条件下,测定海岛小花蝽5龄若虫对茶黄蓟马2龄若虫和成虫的捕食功能反应。在16~32℃,随着温度的升高,海岛小花蝽5龄若虫随猎物密度的增加,其捕食量有明显的逐级上升趋势;试验温度范围内海岛小花蝽5龄若虫对茶黄蓟马的捕食功能反应均符合Holling Ⅱ型方程。海岛小花蝽5龄若虫对茶黄蓟马2龄若虫的捕食能力与茶黄蓟马成虫的捕食能力并无明显差异,在28~32℃范围内,海岛小花蝽对茶黄蓟马的捕食量显著高于其他试验温度;海岛小花蝽5龄若虫在试验温度32℃,猎物密度为60头时捕食量最大,对茶黄蓟马2龄若虫与成虫的捕食量分别为34.6、34.0头。海岛小花蝽5龄若虫对茶黄蓟马2龄若虫与成虫在32℃时的处理时间最短,分别为0.0119、0.0115 d。海岛小花蝽5龄若虫对茶黄蓟马的捕食量与茶黄蓟马猎物密度呈正相关,但寻找效应与猎物密度呈负相关,在相同的猎物密度下,随着温度的升高,寻找效应逐渐下降,海岛小花蝽5龄若虫对茶黄蓟马表现出较高的寻找效应。当猎物密度大于最大捕食量时,海岛小花蝽5龄若虫取食具有选择性,仅取食茶黄蓟马腹部。海岛小花蝽5龄若虫在较高的温度条件下表现出对茶黄蓟马有良好的控害能力,是热带地区重要的天敌资源。     

Glasshouse and field evaluation of fungicides for the control of Septoria apiicola on celery

Propiconazole was more effective than either triadimenol or hexaconazole when applied after infection, for the control of Septoria apiicola on celery seedlings. In three out of four glasshouse experiments, 25 mg propiconazole I⁻¹ controlled S. apiicola completely when applied within 3 days after inoculation. Propiconazole and triadimenol at 5–15 mg l⁻¹ were also effective when applied 2 days after inoculation. Soil applications of a granular formulation of triadimenol (up to 20 mg per plant) controlled S. apiicola for 5 weeks on celery seedlings grown in pots and, in the field, granules at 100 mg per plant applied at planting were effective for 6 weeks. In two other field experiments the most effective treatments were foliar sprays of 25 mg propiconazole l⁻¹ applied every 7–10 days with or without the addition of anilazine or chlorothalonil.     

海南草地贪夜蛾寄生蜂调查与基础生物学观察

海南省是我国草地贪夜蛾入侵地之一,为了掌握草地贪夜蛾在海南的发生与防控情况,2019年4—7月,中国热带农业科学院环境与植物保护研究所专家对海南省18个市县主要玉米种植区的草地贪夜蛾天敌开展了实地调查。本研究将调查区采集到的被寄生卵块、幼虫和蛹置于实验室条件下饲养观察,共发现5种寄生蜂天敌,其中卵寄生蜂为夜蛾黑卵蜂和螟黄赤眼蜂,幼虫寄生蜂为淡足侧沟茧蜂,蛹寄生蜂为霍氏啮小蜂,卵-幼虫寄生蜂为台湾甲腹茧蜂,并报道了这5种寄生蜂的主要鉴别特征和基本生物学特性。掌握海南本地草地贪夜蛾寄生蜂天敌的种类,初步探究了其对这种外来入侵害虫的自然控制作用,为筛选防治草地贪夜蛾的优势天敌提供参考。
