在温室作物的综合害虫管理系统中，斯氏钝绥螨作为各种害虫，特别是蓟马和粉虱的生物控制剂变得越来越重要。一种促进捕食者在作物中建立和保留的新兴策略包括提供食物补充剂。然而，当面对杂食性害虫，如西方花蓟马，Frankliniella oceanentalis时，需要非常小心地使用食物补充剂，以免促进害虫的种群增长。本实验室研究进行了评估的影响，商业产品的香蒲花粉和脱壳卤虫卵（卤虫属）。对害虫和捕食者种群以及捕食者-被捕食者相互作用的影响。occupientalis和A. swirskii，而卤虫包囊支持蓟马种群在较小程度上比捕食者。此外，A.在卤虫包囊存在的情况下，swirskii与T.结论卤虫可能是一种有价值的替代花粉支持种群的A。swirskii，以改善蓟马管理，因为他们是不利于害虫，但支持人口增长的A。斯氏菌属(c)2015年化学工业协会
BACKGROUNDIn integrated pest management systems in greenhouse crops, the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii is becoming increasingly important as a biological control agent of various pests, especially thrips and whiteflies. An emerging strategy to promote the predator's establishment and retention in the crop consists in providing food supplements. However, when faced with omnivorous pests, such as the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, food supplements need to be applied with extreme care, in order not to boost population growth of the pest. This laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the impact of commercial products of Typha angustifolia pollen and decapsulated brine shrimp cysts (Artemia sp.) on populations of both pest and predator and on predator-prey interactions.RESULTSPollen was highly supportive for both F. occidentalis and A. swirskii, whereas Artemia cysts supported thrips populations to a lesser extent than those of the predator. Furthermore, a less pronounced reduction in thrips consumption by A. swirskii was observed in the presence of Artemia cysts as compared with T. angustifolia pollen.CONCLUSIONArtemia might be a valuable alternative to pollen for supporting populations of A. swirskii in order to improve thrips management, as they are less beneficial for the pest but do support population growth of A. swirskii.
