用凹玻片饲养棕榈蓟马

Rearing technique of palm thrips, Thrips palmi Karny, with microscope concave slides.

用 2 5.4 mm× 76.2 mm,凹面直径为 18mm的两片凹玻片 ,相对合在一起 ,使凹面相对合而形成一个封闭的空间 ,组成小型的饲养器 ,内放 10 mm× 10 mm新鲜的茄子叶片 ,供虫子取食并保湿。应用凹玻片饲养棕榈蓟马技术 ,具有装置简单、不易逃逸、操作方便以及便于在显微镜下连续观察等特点。在2 0 ,2 5,2 8,30和 32℃下 ,用凹玻片饲养 ,棕榈蓟马从初孵若虫到羽化成虫阶段的成活率分别为 77.78% ,65.96% ,82 .61% ,66.67%和 56.52 %。

The nymph and adult of Thirps palmi Karny were reared in microscope concave slides (MCS) consisting of two microscope concave slides(with 25.4mm× 76.2mm of slides size and 18mm of alcove diameter) and a piece of eggplant leaf (10mm × 10mm) with enough food supplied and humidity kept. This MCS rearing technique of palm thrips is not only simple in apparatus, and effective in keeping thrips from escaping, but also easy to operate and observe under the microscope. With this rearing technique, the survival rate from nymph to adult were 77.78% ,65.96% ,82.61% ,66.67% and 56.52% under 20C,25C,28C ,30C and 32C respectively.
