Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention is used to combat various pests in the area of cannibalism prevention and biological plant protection, especially in vegetables such as in ornamental plants growing over glass and in the gardens of hobby gardeners and vegetable gardens. The present invention relates to an apparatus for rearing and shipping larvae of Chrysoperla carnea, which can be carried out. A thin plate of a certain size is provided with a plurality of recesses of a predetermined size capable of accommodating lacewing larvae, and the thin plate is wrapped with a garden fleece after loading with lacewing eggs. Also, in the fleece-wrapped state, the larvae can be seen through the wrapping fabric and thereby allow the customer quality control.

In order to realize a package that is stable and protects it from damage during shipping, a material which is post-process cured and which nevertheless remains elastic, ie a special baked mixture, is selected. Thereby facilitating the usually cumbersome debris handling or disposal of the packaging material by the customer. After the beneficial insects have been hatched in the plant stock field, the plates may be left in the greenhouse as they are, laying on the floor and decaying due to moisture within 3-4 days. It can also be used as livestock feed or fertilizer. During large-scale hatching, the plates contribute to the enrichment of the beds with valuable mineral materials. On the contrary, unlike most commercial plastic packaging, here it contributes to a reduction in the amount of waste.

[Prior art]

 Green lacewings with a transparent net-like wing and a length of 2 cm are targeted as lacewings. The female lays 10 to 15 eggs a day, and 0.5 mm-sized larvae hatch from the eggs. These larvae are very hungry and eradicate all mites and insects that are usually smaller than themselves. The most problematic pests such as aphids, spider mites, soft mite, thrips, cotton aphids and small beetles are eradicated. However, larvae cannot move by themselves. That is, they cannibalize significantly. After 3 stages of larvae and 1 stage of pupae, larvae transform into growing animals. More than 600 pests can be eradicated per larva during the larval development period of 2 or 3 weeks.

Traditionally, lacewing eggs have been hatched against aphids. This has the disadvantage that it leads to a relatively high cannibalism after hatching of the larvae and, due to its size, the aphids are only attacked after approximately 8-10 days, which is the first time they reach the second developmental stage. This is because they have reached and can attack Arimaki. Stage 1 larvae are too small to attack aphids and predominantly ingest ticks until stage 2. Until the larvae of the lacewings develop sufficiently to be able to eradicate the aphids, the aphids sometimes explode and lose the time for an attack by the lacewings.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The task of the present invention is to provide the customer with sufficient quantities of the lacewing larvae against aphids, so that the customer can ascertain these quantities themselves.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The subject of the present invention is a horticulturist who is a hobbyist in the structure described in the scope of claims for utility model, that is, in the area of preventing cannibalism and protecting biological plants, especially vegetables in glass ornamental plant cultivation enterprises. In a rearing and dispatching device for lacewings of the lacewing, which can be used for eradicating various pests in gardens and vegetable gardens, a thin plate of a predetermined size can be used to store the larvae of the lacewing in a predetermined size. This is solved by a breeding and shipping device, characterized in that a number of depressions are provided and the lamellae are wrapped in garden fleece after loading with lacewing eggs. This is because it is ensured that the animals can be transported in 2-3 days without hindrance, ie they are given a small amount of feed storage and must not be reduced by cannibalism. Shows the configuration of.

[Embodiment of device]

 A device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure showing the plate of the breeding and shipping device according to the present invention, (a) is a sectional view taken along the line AA showing the configuration of individual cells (recesses) and webs of the plate used in the device according to the present invention. , (B) is a side view, and (c) is a plan view showing details of individual cells.

A large number of cells scattered on the plate are individually loaded with lacewing eggs with stored feed and subsequently the whole plate is wrapped in fleece. Inside the cell, the larvae hatch from the egg and the customer can see it through the fleece from the outside.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, it is achieved that the second development stage lacewing larvae are delivered to the customer, which can survive transport for 3-5 days without damage, because the animals are placed in individual cells. This is because the prescribed amount of feed provided can be ingested. The distribution of the beneficial insects is facilitated by the horticulturist, who is then able to carry out the distribution directly to the point of use. This will increase the success rate of fighting aphids in biological processes. The possibility that the animals cannibalize is eliminated because each animal has its own individual aerated cell tightly wrapped by the fleece. The plate with the larvae loaded therein is placed in a cooling tank at 6 ° C for up to a week without damage to the animal. The delivery device also allows the delivery of improved quality lacewing larvae to foreign countries. The size of 200 mm x 290 mm allows the plates to be adapted for maximum hatching and to be delivered with low shipping costs. The transparency of the fleece allows the animal to see through the transparent fabric to the customer, thereby implementing quality control.
