A method for preventing and controlling mite infestation in beehive tubes of pollination wall in apple orchard

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preventing mite damage in a wall honeycomb duct for apple orchard pollination. The method for preventing the mite damage in the wall honeycomb duct for the apple orchard pollination includes steps that (1) building a honeycomb at the part of the orchard exposed to the sun; (2) preparing reeds into a wall honeycomb duct bundle; (3) immersing the honeycomb duct bundle in hydrogen peroxide and fungicide diluent, and air drying at a cool part to obtain the wall honeycomb duct bundle with liquid medicine; (4) recycling honey cocoons from cocooned wall honeycomb ducts, and using pure water to wash the surfaces of the honey cocoons to obtain recycled honey cocoons when recycling; (5) when the fruit trees bloom, placing the wall honeycomb duct bundle with liquid medicine and the recycled honey cocoons in a nest box. According to the method for preventing the mite damage in the wall honeycomb duct for the apple orchard pollination, the mite damage in the wall honeycomb is effectively controlled through immersing the wall honeycomb ducts in the mite fungicide and immersing the wall honeycomb ducts in hydrogen peroxide before immersing in the fungicide; the method for preventing the mite damage in the wall honeycomb duct for the apple orchard pollination provides the technology support for preventing the mite damage in the wall honeycomb duct and provides a solid foundation for the development of the apple industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preventing and controlling mite damage in honeycomb tubes of pollination walls in apple orchards, and belongs to the technical field of mite damage prevention and control. Background technique [0002] In order to solve the problems of low fruit setting rate and orchard yield decline of Red Fuji apples, fruit farmers generally use Osmia cornifrons Rodoszkowski to pollinate fruit trees. The horn-fronted wasp belongs to the family Leafcutter family. Because of its high flower-visiting efficiency, good pollination effect, low temperature resistance, and convenient management, it has obvious effects on improving apple fruit setting rate, reducing labor intensity, and increasing economic benefits. Many years of bee release experiments in orchards have shown that the fruit setting rate of fruit trees is increased by more than 30% compared with natural pollination, which is equivalent to artificial pollination, especially...

Problems solved by technology

Carriage of mites is the main way for the transmission of mites. Mites invade and parasitize in the hive tubes of mites through mites. Adults, larvae and nymphs compete with mites in the hive for food—pollen clumps, which greatly affects the reproduction of the wasps, especially the natural reproductive ability of the pest mites is strong, and the population is large, which poses a serious threat to the recovery of the cocoons of the wasps

In addition, mites can also adhere to the outside of the cocoon when the fruit grower recycles the cocoon, and transfer to the wasp when the wasp breaks the cocoon, causing the wasp to move slowly, affecting the efficiency of flower visits, reducing the pollination effect, and reducing the fruit setting rate of apples

When the amount of wasps recovered is reduced or cannot work normally, fruit farmers often buy a large number of bee cocoons or artificial pollination for assistance, which increases production costs

[0005] The wall honeycomb tube made of reed is generally small and narrow (15-20cm long, 6-8mm inner diameter, one end is left knotted, and the other end is open), and the cells in the reed tube are of different numbers. The special structure inside the reed nest tube makes the control effect of harmful mites in the nest chamber unsatisfactory

At the same time, it is necessary to consider the safety of each insect state of the wasps when preventing and controlling, which adds difficulties to the prevention and control of harmful mites.
