T/YNRZ 020-2022 Guan's Artificial Breeding Techniques for Swollen Leg Bees
T/YNRZ 020-2022
Basic Information
Scope
Scope: This document specifies the artificial breeding technology of Scleroderma guani (hereinafter referred to as "swollen leg wasp"), which uses coffee-killing Xylotrechus quadripes larvae, Tenebrio molitor pupae, Ostrinia furnacalis larvae, and Curculio davidi larvae as breeding hosts. This document is applicable to the artificial breeding of Scleroderma guani; Main technical content: 1. Terms and definitions: The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document. 1.1 Scleroderma guani belongs to the family Bethylidae of the order Hymenoptera, and is an important parasitic enemy of trunk-boring pests such as longicorn beetles. It plays an important role in controlling longicorn beetle damage (Appendices A and B). 1.2 Host: A living insect that can be parasitized by swollen leg wasps, which is both the target pest for control and the material for artificial breeding of swollen leg wasps. 1.3 Seed wasps: Robust, adaptable, and highly reproductive wingless female wasps used for artificial breeding of swollen leg wasps. 1.4 Host-parasitoid ratio: The ratio of hosts to swollen leg wasps when inoculating or releasing wasps. 1.5 Inoculation: The process of placing swollen leg wasps in containers containing hosts under controlled conditions to allow them to lay eggs on the hosts. 1.6 Rejuvenation: The process of restoring various degenerated indicators of swollen leg wasps after several generations of artificial breeding to normal levels through technical means. 2. Experimental facilities and equipment 2.1 Basic infrastructure 2.1.1 Bee collection room equipped with clean worktables, disinfection equipment, and inoculation tools. 2.1.2 Cultivation room equipped with wooden cultivation racks, UV sterilization lamps, humidifiers, air conditioners, air exchangers, artificial climate chambers, constant temperature chambers, biochemical culture boxes, dry and wet thermometers, etc. 2.1.3 Storage room equipped with refrigerators and freezers. 2.2 Main tools and m
