Definitions
- the present invention relates to a biological control composition
- a biological control composition comprising at least arthropod biological control agents and astigmatid mite eggs.
- pesticides have greatly expanded agriculture by enabling treatment against a wide variety of pests as well as diseases, with a limited number of molecules.
- the effects of pesticide products depend primarily on their category: insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, nematicides, molluscicides, rodenticides, mole killers.
- biological control agents constitutes one method for fighting against pests, pathogenic agents or adventitious plants by means of their natural antagonistic organisms, such as phytophagous species (for adventitious plants), parasitoids (for arthropods, etc.), predators (for nematodes, arthropods, vertebrates, mollusks, bats, etc.) or pathogenic agents (for viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.).
- phytophagous species for adventitious plants
- parasitoids for arthropods, etc.
- predators for nematodes, arthropods, vertebrates, mollusks, bats, etc.
- pathogenic agents for viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.
- compositions are found on the market comprising populations of Amblyseius cucumeris, a predator of tfirips larvae, which is a phytophagous species (Thysanoptera), and bran, thus making it possible to more easily distribute the product in crops.
- These ingredients can, optionally, be provided in pre-pierced sachets, in order to release the predators in a controlled manner over time.
- Neoseiulus californicus as a predator of species of Tetranychidae and of Tarsonemidae
- Amblyseius swirskii as a predator of tfirips or of Aleyrodidae
- biological control agents are raised in the presence of a population of prey as food and then are released into crops.
- the prey populations used can be prey other than natural prey, for example prey that are easier to raise, if they can act as food for the biological control agents.
- GB2393890 discloses that Amblyseius cucumeris can use Tyrophagus putrescentiae, T. tropicus and Acarus siro as substitution prey.
- compositions comprising a population of arthropods, a population of prey, and, optionally, a substrate providing support and nutrients for the population of prey, have already been described.
- Nomikou et al. have shown that populations of Amblyseius swirskii can grow while having a high predator/prey ratio, if they feed on Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Experimental and Applied Acarology 27(1-2), 57-68).
- Amblyseius swirskii can be raised using astigmatid mites, in particular belonging to the family Carpoglyphidae, Pyroglyphidae, Glyphagidae or Acaridae, as a food source.
- this prey regularly requires food containing mainly grain and yeast, ingredients likely to allow mold to develop.
- the preys are household dust mites
- some species can be phytotoxic.
- compositions comprising predators and prey, in particular comprising mites, have a shelf life that is often very short, and last at longest about 3 weeks in the field without deteriorating
- the inventors have discovered that the use of astigmatid mite eggs to feed populations of arthropods makes it possible to solve the problems of the prior art.
- the inventors have more particularly discovered that the specific use of astigmatid mite eggs to feed populations of arthropods is more effective than the use of whole populations of astigmatid mites which further comprise larvae, nymphs and adult astigmatid mites.
- compositions comprising astigmatid mite eggs have a longer shelf life in the field than compositions of the prior art, which comprise other types of foods.
- astigmatid mite eggs can be treated in order to prevent them from hatching.
- the inventors have indeed found that eggs that are treated in a specific way enter a stage wherein they cannot further hatch yet retain a metabolic activity. This stage is herein called sub- lethal stage.
- Those eggs are particularly advantageous as they have an improved shelf life, and do not deteriorate as fast as eggs treated in different conditions.
- those sub-lethal eggs will not develop in larva and other stages that are not as effective in feeding populations of arthropods.
- a first object of the invention is the use of astigmatid mite eggs as a nutrient source for arthropod biological control agents.
- a second object of the invention is a biological control composition comprising:
- a nutrient source comprising astigmatid mite eggs
- a support and/or dissemination substrate optionally, a support and/or dissemination substrate.
- Another object of the invention is a biological control composition
- a biological control composition comprising:
- a nutrient source comprising at least one astigmatid mite population, andoptionally, a support and/or dissemination substrate.
- the present invention has for object a method for rearing arthropod biological control agents from astigmatid mite eggs as a nutrient source.
- the present invention has for object a method for rearing arthropod biological control agents from a nutrient source comprising at least one astigmatid mite population.
- the expression "population of arthropod biological control agents” refers to any population comprising at least two living individuals belonging to at least one of the species of arthropods among the biological control agents. Said population can be comprised of individuals belonging to only one or to several developmental stages of the biological control agent. For example, the population can comprise eggs, larvae, nymphs, adult individuals or mixtures of these various stages.
- the arthropods used according to the invention are selected, for example, from the class Arachnida, preferentially from mites (order Acari), or from the class Insecta. In an embodiment, the mites are selected from the orders Mesostigmata and Trombidiforms.
- the mites can be selected, for example, from the families of phytoseiids (Phytoseiidae), Macrochelidae or Laelapidae.
- the phytoseiids can be selected from the subfamily
- Amblyseiinae for example Amblyseius swirskii, Amblyseius largoensis, Amblyseius andersoni; or from the genus Neoseiulus, for example Neoseiulus womersleyi, Neoseiulus californicus, Neoseiulus cucumeris, Neoseiulus fallacis, Neoseiulus longispinosus; or from the genus Iphiseius, for example Iphiseius degenerans; or from the genus Amblydromalus, for example Amblydromalus lailae, Amblydromalus limonicus or Amblydromalus manihoti; or from the subfamily Typhlodrominae, in particular the genus Typhlodromips, for example Typhlodromips montdorensis; or from the genus Euseius, for

- the term “egg” refers to eggs that have been collected and not yet hatched.
- the eggs can be used fresh or after having been preserved by any mode of preservation that allows maintaining all of the eggs' nutritional properties.
- the eggs are preserved by any mode of preservation that allows maintaining the eggs in their development stage without altering the eggs' ability to then develop.
- the eggs can be specifically treated in order to prevent them from hatching by inducing a sub-lethal stage.
- sub-lethal eggs it is herein referred to eggs that do not hatch and retain metabolic activity.
- the person skilled in the art may for example put the egg in normal culture conditions that are appropriate for the development of the egg, and verify that the egg does not develop into larvae, nymph and adult, over time.
- the skilled person can put the egg at 25°C and at 75 % relative humidity, and verify that the egg does not develop into larvae, nymph and adult over time.
- Metabolic activity can be evaluated by any technique known in the field. For example, it has been long known that metabolic activity of acari can be evaluated by measuring their respiratory rates, more precisely by measuring the dioxygen (0 2) uptake per individual (Szlendak et al, Exp Appl Acarol. 10(3- 4):221-30, 1991; Block et al, J exp Biol 68:69-87, 1977; Block W, Oikos 26: 15- 25, 1975). This approach has also been used for evaluating the metabolic activity of mite eggs(D. J. Thurling, Oecologia, 46:3, 391-396, 1980).
- Measuring the dioxygen (0 2) per egg can easily be performed using a gas analyzer or using a Cartesian Diver micro-respirometer. Such analysis is a routine practice for the person skilled in the art, and does not require to be further explained herein.
- the inventors have found that sub-lethal eggs can be obtained by exposing them to UV radiations, or to specific temperature conditions. Thus, in order to obtain sub-lethal eggs, the eggs can be exposed to a temperature between -100 °C and 9 °C, advantageously between -80 °C and 5 °C, even more advantageously between -30 °C and 5 °C.
- the eggs after collection undergo a brief heat shock and are then stored at a temperature between about -90 °C and 5 °C, advantageously between about -30 °C and 5 °C, even more advantageously between about -5 °C and 5 °C.
- the heat shock is carried out at a temperature between about -100 °C and 0 °C, preferentially at a temperature between about -100 °C and -10 °C.
- induction of the sub- lethal stage depends both on temperature and exposure time to said temperature. As a general rule, they observed that the lower the temperature is, the shorter the exposure time should be. Indeed, as the inventors have found, if the exposure time is too important, the treatment does not result in sub-lethal eggs, but in dead eggs that tend to collapse with time.
- the time of exposure could vary between a few days and a few weeks.
- the time of exposure should be shortened from a few seconds to a few hours.
- the inventors have discovered that, for a given temperature, the necessary and sufficient exposure time to obtain a maximum of sub-lethal eggs can be determined by a specific equation. They have determined specific combinations of temperature and exposure time that can be safely used in order to obtain at least 60% of sub-lethal eggs.
