The invention discloses an agasicles hygrophila experimental
population raising method. The agasicles hygrophila experimental
population raising method includes steps that
filter paper with the size equal to that of a
bottle bottom is placed in an
insect breeding
bottle I, and is wetted, and 20-30 adult insects which are just subjected to the eclosion are placed in the
insect breeding
bottle I and are fed by three fresh
alternanthera philoxeroides;
alternanthera philoxeroides leaves with
egg masses in the
insect breeding bottle I are placed in insect breeding bottles II, each insert breeding bottle II holds ten
alternanthera philoxeroides leaves, and then the insect breeding bottles II are placed in an artificial
incubator; fresh
alternanthera philoxeroides is placed in the
incubator on the first day of incubation, and the
alternanthera philoxeroides is continuously replaced by other fresh
alternanthera philoxeroides until larvas are matured; and when about to pupate, the agasicles hygrophila matured larvas are transferred into pupating devices, each pupating device contains 100 matured larvas, the matured larvas enter straws of alternanthera philoxeroides to pupate, and pupating rate can reach 80% to 95%. The agasicles hygrophila experimental
population raising method is simple in artificial raising, easy to control, small in occupied space and low in cost, and can be used for raising a controllable quantity of neat and consistent agasicles hygrophila with different insect development stages and different insect ages according to different experimental needs.
