Abstract

To find out an alternative prey of Orius strigicollis Poppius in the laboratory continuous rearing system, cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), two spotted spider mite (Tetmnychus urticae) and mold mite (Tyrophagus putrescenriae) were tested as alternative prey. Development and oviposition of 0. strigicollis were observed at 25f l0C, RH 60-80% and 16L:8D. Survival rate and developmental period of the nymphal stages of 0. strigicollis was 81. 6% and 11.6 days when fed on cotton aphid, 56.796, 14.6 days, 42.3% and 16.5 days when fed on two spotted spider mite and mold mite, respectively. Total oviposition of 0. strigicollis was 68.5 eggslfemaie fed on cotton aphid, 46.1 and 26.5 eggsifemale fed on two spotted spider mite and mold mite, respectively. Cotton aphid seems to be most suitable prey for rearing 0 . strigicollis among the three prey species tested.

총채벌레류의 유력천적인 Orius strigicollis의 연중 실내사육에 적합한 대체먹이를 선발하고자 먹이 곤충으로 목화진딧물, 점박이응애, 긴털가루응애를 각각 급여하여 O. strigicollis의 발육과 산란수를 $25\pm$$1^{\circ}C$, RH60-80%, 16L:8D 조건에서 조사하였다. 약충기간 중 생존율과 발육기간은 목화진딧물 급여시 81.6%와 11.6일, 점박이응애 급여시 56.7%와 14.6일, 긴털가루응애 급여시 42.3%와 16.5일 이었으며, 성충기간 중 총산란수는 목화진딧물 급여시 68.5개, 점박이응애 급여시 46.1개, 긴털가루응애 급여시 26.5개로 3종의 먹이곤충 중 목화진딧물 급여가 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다.
