MASS REARING METHOD OF COTESIA GLOMERATA L

摘要

A mass rearing method of Cotesia glomerata L is provided to enable indoor mass breeding of Cotesia glomerata L and to use the Cotesia glomerata L in the extermination of plutella xylostella. A mass rearing method of Cotesia glomerata L includes: a first step of raising imagos of Cotesia glomerata L in a breeding drum having a temperature of 21-25deg.C by supplying sugar content in a liquid phase to cocoon of Cotesia glomerata L; a second step of injecting larvae of Cotesia glomerata L into the breeding drum together with leaves of Chinese cabbage to be exposed to the imagos of Cotesia glomerata L and collecting the cocoons of Cotesia glomerata L that escape from the body of larvae of Cotesia glomerata L after a predetermined period of time; and a third step of supplying sugar content in a liquid phase to store the collected ocoon of Cotesia glomerata L for a long time.
