Abstract

Abstract: Picromerus lewisi Scott is an important predatory natural enemy insect. Predation ability of different stages of P. lewisi to the Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée and their biological control potential were examined through measurement of the predation function and searching efficiency of the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th instar nymphs and adults of P. lewisi to the 2^nd and 3^rd instar larvae of O. furnacalis in an indoor light incubator at (27±1)℃ and photoperiod 16L:8D. The functional responses of different stages of nymphs and adult to the 2^nd and 3^rd instar larvae of O. furnacalis fitted well with Holling II model. The predation capacity of the 5^th instar nymphs of P. lewisi to the 2^nd instar larvae of O. furnacalis was 252.900, the instantaneous attack rate (a) was 1.012, and the daily maximum predation was 26.40. The predation capacity of P. lewisi females to the 3^rd instar larvae of O. furnacalis was 202.900, the instantaneous attack rate (a) was 0.812, and the daily maximum predation was 14.60. There were no significant differences in the indexes between the male adults and the 5^th instar nymphs or female adults of the P. lewisi. Based on the above results, the 5^th instar nymph and adult of P. lewisi have a strong predation effect on larvae of O. furnacalis and have good biocontrol potential.

Key words: Picromerus lewisi, Ostrinia furnacalis, predation functional response, searching efficiency
