摘要  

白背飞虱是水稻上的一种刺吸式口器类害虫,现已对常用的许多化学农药产生了中等到高强度的抗药性,严重发生时可导致水稻大面积减产。我们在室内和田间条件下研究了爪哇棒束孢菌单独、或与化学农药呋虫胺混合对白背飞虱的影响,研究结果表明:爪哇棒束孢可高效地侵染杀死不同虫态的白背飞虱,可降低成虫的成活率、产卵量、影响卵巢的发育。室内生物测定结果表明爪哇棒束孢菌与低剂量的呋虫胺(4-16ppm)的混合物对白背飞虱的死亡率高于单独使用爪哇棒束孢菌或呋虫胺对白背飞虱的死亡率,并可显著地影响害虫的过氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶、酚氧化酶等酶的活性。在田间爪哇棒束孢菌可有效地降低白背飞虱的种群数量(田间虫量只有对照区的22-64%),低剂量的爪哇棒束孢菌(104 孢子 mL-1)和呋虫胺(4.8-19.2%的田间推荐用量)在田间对白背飞虱的防治效果超过90%表现为协同增效作用,在使用后的第3-14天内可将田间白背飞虱的种群数量持续控制在50/100丛以下。我们的研究结果表明:昆虫病原真菌爪哇棒束孢菌可作为水稻害虫综合防治(IPM)的重要组成部分,用于控制水稻害虫。



Abstract  The rice planthopper, Sogatella furcifera, is a piercing-sucking insect pest of rice, Oryza sativa.  It is responsible for significant crop yield losses, and has developed moderate to high resistance to several commonly used chemical insecticides.  We investigated the effects of the insect fungal pathogen Isaria javanica, alone and in combination with the chemical insecticide dinotefuran, on Sfurcifera under both laboratory and field conditions.  Our results show that Ijavanica displays high infection efficiency and mortality for different stages of Sfurcifera, reducing adult survival, female oviposition and ovary development.  Laboratory bioassays showed that the combined use of Ijavanica with a low dose (4–16 mg L–1) of dinotefuran resulted in higher mortality in Sfurcifera than the use of Ijavanica or dinotefuran alone.  The combined treatment also had more significant effects on several host enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, and prophenol oxidase activities.  In field trials, Ijavanica effectively suppressed populations of rice planthoppers to low levels (22–64% of the level in untreated plots).  Additional field experiments showed synergistic effects, i.e., enhanced efficiency, for the control of Sfurcifera populations using the combination of a low dose of Ijavanica (1×104 conidia mL–1) and a low dose of dinotefuran (~4.8–19.2% of normal field use levels), with control effects of >90% and a population level under 50 insects per 100 hills at 3–14 days post-treatment.  Our findings indicate that the entomogenous fungus Ijavanica offers an attractive biological control addition as part of the integrated pest management (IPM) practices for the control of rice plant pests.
