Two artificial diets developed for rearing Lygus spp., a fresh yolk chicken egg based-diet (FYD) and a dry yolk chicken egg based-diet (DYD), were evaluated as an alternative food source for rearing the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). Survival to adult was 97.3 and 74.67%, respectively, on the fresh and dry yolk diets. Insects fed FYD had 100% survival of nymphs from first through fourth instars. Adult development was significantly shorter on FYD (30.37 ± SE 0.30 d) as compared with DYD (32.77 ± SE 0.16 d). Increased male and female longevity, higher fecundity, and larger egg mass sizes were also observed with N. viridula-fed FYD. However, fertility and hatchability was higher on DYD. A complete cohort life table was constructed to describe the development of N. viridula on both diets.
为饲养牧草盲蝽属昆虫开发了两种人工饲料,即以新鲜蛋黄为基础的饲料(FYD)和以干蛋黄为基础的饲料(DYD),作为饲养南方绿蝽(Nezara viridula (L.),半翅目:蝽科)的替代食物来源进行了评估。在新鲜和干蛋黄饲料上,成虫的存活率分别为97.3%和74.67%。取食FYD的昆虫从一龄到四龄若虫的存活率为100%。与DYD(32.77±标准误0.16天)相比,FYD上成虫发育显著缩短(30.37±标准误0.30天)。取食FYD的南方绿蝽还表现出雌雄寿命延长、繁殖力提高和卵块尺寸增大。然而,DYD上的受精率和孵化率更高。构建了完整的种群生命表来描述南方绿蝽在两种饲料上的发育情况。
