Progress on the factory production and application of Chouioia cunea
Chouioia cunea is the dominant natural enemy of Hyphantria cunea.In the early 1980s,the artificial breeding technology of C.cunea has been systematically studied in China and successfully developed a factory production technology with Antheraea pernyi pupae as the intermediate host.We reviewed the industrial production and field application of C.cunea involving production equipment,production technology,release technique and application status.We put forward to study the natural enemy complex,test safety of common pesticides on C.cunea,and optimize forest release technology,in order to optimize the production process to the greatest extent and provide theoretical support for improving breeding efficiency and control effect.
