Description

Food attractant for preventing and treating spodoptera frugiperda and application of food attractant
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of agricultural pest control, and particularly relates to a food attractant for controlling spodoptera frugiperda and application thereof.
Background
Spodoptera frugiperda (j.e. smith) has been a major pest in africa, america, oceania, asia since 2016, and is recognized by the united nations grain and crop farming organizations as a globally important agricultural migratory pest. In 2019, spodoptera frugiperda invades China through the Chinese and Burmese border, the Spodoptera frugiperda has spread and spread to 129 counties in the whole province at the end of 6 months, the outbreak period is mainly concentrated in summer, and the outbreak area is 55.62 ten thousand hm 2 Occupying a total annual generation area of 66.59 ten thousand hm 2 The content of the active carbon is 83.52%, and poses great threat to agricultural production in China.
In the comprehensive treatment of plant diseases and insect pests, chemical prevention and control is one of the main means. However, with the long-term use of a large amount of chemical pesticides, the side effects are more and more obvious, pesticide residues pollute the environment, pests can generate drug resistance, and a large amount of natural enemies and beneficial microorganisms can be killed. Research reports that with the wide use of chemical insecticides, the tolerance of spodoptera frugiperda to chemical insecticides such as organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids is obviously enhanced, and the phenomenon of resistance to insecticides is increasingly prominent. The application of the phagostimulant for preventing and controlling pests has the advantages of high efficiency, low toxicity, no pollution, no harm to beneficial pests and the like, plays an increasingly important role in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) of pests, and has good economic, social and ecological benefits. At present, monitoring the occurrence of pests by using an insect food attractant as an attraction source is accepted by more and more scientific researchers, but the food attractant is considered to be one of the most efficient methods in controlling the pests. The principle of the food attractant is that aiming at insects with migratory flight capability, the food attractant attracts the insects by utilizing the communication between the insects and plants, plays a role in interfering and trapping, achieves the aim of preventing insects, and is an efficient, green and environment-friendly control method.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a spodoptera frugiperda control attractant and an application thereof.

FIG. 2 shows the field slow release rate of spodoptera frugiperda phagostimulant.
Detailed Description
Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.
Example 1 field attraction experiment of attractant wicks of different proportions on Spodoptera frugiperda
In order to further verify the field luring capability of the luring cores of the attractants with different proportions on the spodoptera frugiperda, a field trapping test is carried out in a corn field with flat terrain and the area of more than 20 mu. The trap is barrel type trap with height of 1.5-2.0m. The lure treatment of each treatment was set to 3 replicates, with an interval between traps of about 20 m. The specific formulation is shown in table 1:

Figure GDA0004097905960000041

Figure GDA0004097905960000051
The number of spodoptera frugiperda in the traps was investigated every 3 days after the setting, and the traps were cleaned and continuously investigated for 30 days. The results of the examination are shown in Table 2.

Note: data in the table are mean values of traps ± sem for each trap every 3 days.
The test result shows that: the food attractant has very obvious effect of attracting Spodoptera frugiperda. After the single-component D-limonene, methyl benzoate, isolongifolene, methyl o-anisate or methyl salicylate is added into the lure core, the spodoptera frugiperda can be lured, but the luring quantity is small. The binary mixture can increase the trapping capacity of spodoptera frugiperda, but has no significant difference compared with a single component. The ternary composition and the quaternary composition can greatly improve the trapping quantity of spodoptera frugiperda, but are lower than that of a quinary composition (Sf-31). Meanwhile, different proportion experiments of the five-element composition are set, and the result shows that when the D-limonene content is 0.5mg, the methyl benzoate content is 0.15mg, the isolongifolene content is 0.15mg, the methyl salicylate content is 0.10mg and the methyl o-anisate content is 5.5mg, the spodoptera frugiperda luring effect is the best, and the trapping amount of a single trap exceeds 80 heads per 3 days.
Example 2 field bioactivity assay
To further clarify the effective period of the spodoptera frugiperda phagostimulant, the phagostimulant was prepared according to the formula Sf-31 in example 1. Suspending the lure in the field, detecting the content of effective components in the lure every 10 days, and continuously detecting for 2 months. The experimental result shows that the spodoptera frugiperda phagostimulant lure core can slowly release the effective components. After 2 months, the content of the effective components of the core attractant of the spodoptera frugiperda feeding attractant is more than 3mg, which indicates that the effective period of the core attractant is more than 2 months, and the core attractant can be accurately applied to insect condition prediction and mass trapping and killing of spodoptera frugiperda.
The above disclosure is only for the specific embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be considered by those skilled in the art should fall within the scope of the present invention.
