Synthesis and assessment of attractiveness and mating disruption efficacy of sex pheromone microcapsules for the diamondback moth,Plutella xylostella （L.）

Microcapsules of sex pheromone of the diamondback moth （DBM）, Plutella xylostella （Lepidoptera： Plutellidae） were synthesized through complex coacervation using gelatin and gum arabic as wall-forming materials. The encapsulated pheromone released from these microcapsules into the air was monitored over six weeks in the field. Results of a field trial show that the attractiveness of microcapsules was superior to that of rubber septa loaded with the same amount of pheromone. The mating disruption efficiency of the pheromone treatment was estimated through comparing numbers of moths captured in pheromone-baited traps placed in pheromone treatment fields and pesticide treatment fields. The estimated mating disruption efficiency of the pheromone treatments ranged from 76.94% to 98.67% during the season. This study shows that pheromone microcapsules might provide a new method for P. xylostella control.     

天葵几种粗提物对菜青虫、小菜蛾的拒食活性筛选

本文研究报道了天葵几种粗提物对菜青虫、小菜蛾的拒食活性筛选。经石油醚、氯仿、丙酮粗提物的拒食活性比较,结果表明石油醚粗提物的拒食效果较好,石油醚粗提物经进一步分离得油状和结晶粗提物,二者经拒食活性比较,结果表明石油醚油状粗提物的活性较强。     

天葵石油醚油状粗提物对菜青虫、小菜蛾的拒食活性研究

研究报道了石油醚油状粗提物对菜青虫、小菜蛾的拒食作用。结果表明石油醚油状粗提物具有明显的拒食活性,对菜青虫、小菜蛾幼虫的选择性拒食作用中浓度AFC50分别为1.51mg/mL、1.82mg/mL;非选择性拒食作用中浓度AFC50分别为1.94mg/mL、4.78mg/mL。8mg/mL处理后24h对试虫的选择性拒食率分别为89.17%、82.41%;非选择性拒食率分别为75.68%、67.05%。
