CS276193B6 - Equipment for breeding predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis - Google Patents

Abstract

The device consists of a breeding structure (1) covered with air and a damp impermeable foil (2), where the breeding area (4) has a breeding space for insertable breeding vessels (3), where the breeding structure (1) is placed on a supporting structure (A) forming a water barrier (5).

Description

The present invention relates to a plant for breeding Phytoseiulus persimilis At.hias-Henriot (Acarina: Phytoseiidae).

Until now, the predatory mite has been propagated on breeding plates with an anti-escape barrier, which were placed in air-conditioned rooms at an optimum temperature of 297 ° K and a relative air humidity of 75%. This device is protected by CS author certificate no. 229 478. The problem is described in more detail in N. E. Scopes: Plant.Pathol., 17, 123-1968. So far the! the breeding dishes used were formed from solid or porous materials, preferably foam and methacrylate, with a smooth surface. The disadvantage of such breeding was the limited spatial design of the breeding dishes, which was compensated by a higher number of breeding dishes while ensuring a sufficient amount of Phytoseiulus persimilis. The anti-leakage barrier, made of foam, felt, cotton, soaked in water, caused water pollution and decay, and at the same time had a negative impact on the health status of the Phytoseiulus persimilis population located in these areas. Cleaning and maintenance of this equipment required considerable time loss of operating personnel.

The aforementioned disadvantages are overcome by a phytoseiulus persimilis predatory mite breeding device according to the invention, which is characterized in that in the breeding structure, packed with air and moisture impermeable foil, the breeding area is enlarged on the breeding area by insertable reproductive containers. placed on a supporting structure forming a water barrier.

The invention increases the yield of breeding of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis by 30 to 50% of individuals. It increases the breeding area in a simple way and improves the hygienic-epidemiological aspect of the breeding of Phytoseiulus persimilis by introducing a water barrier. At the same time, the insertable propagation vessels can be directly used for the distribution of Phytoseiulus persimilis to the treated plants.

The drawing shows a schematic representation of a plant for breeding Phytoseiulus persimilis.

The apparatus consists of an air and moisture impermeable foil breeding structure 4, where the breeding part 4 is enlarged with a housing for insertable reproduction containers 4, the breeding structure 4 being placed on a supporting structure A forming a water barrier 5.

Phytoseiulus persimilis can be used in farms that grow Phytoseiulus persimilis.
