棉蚜不仅是西北地区危害棉花生长的重要害虫,也是制约全球棉花丰产的重要瓶颈。棉蚜种群数量变化受多种因子的影响,如何能有效预测棉蚜种群数量的变化一直是难点问题,也是生产中亟待解决的应用问题。近期,由中国科学院新疆生态与地理研究所研究员吕昭智课题组发明的“一种短期预测棉蚜种群数量的方法”获得国家发明专利授权(专利号: Cotton aphid is not only an important pest that endangers cotton growth in Northwest China, but also an important bottleneck restricting the global cotton yield. The change of cotton aphid population quantity is affected by many factors. How to effectively forecast the population change of Aphis gossypii has been a difficult problem and also an urgent application issue in production. Recently, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography researcher Lu Zhaoxi task force invented a “short-term prediction of the population of cotton aphid population method” won the national invention patent authorization (patent number:
