来自美国农业部医疗、农业、兽医和昆虫学中心的昆虫学家理查德·曼金开发了一种昆虫振动装置,通过扰乱雌雄柑桔木虱之间的交配从而控制其传播。柑桔木虱幼虫以树体的嫩芽和叶为食,吸出汁液并注射入毒素。柑桔木虱能传播柑桔黄龙病,给柑桔产业带来不可估量的损失。曼金认为,这种振动装置可以更环保地控制柑桔木虱。通过振动器发出信号,将雌木虱排除在外,诱导雄性木虱进入陷阱,从而阻止或干扰木虱交配,控制虫口数。这种振动装置很简单,包括一个蜂鸣器和一
Entomologist Richard Mankin from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Center for Medicinal, Agricultural, Veterinary and Entomology, has developed an insect vibratory device to control its spread by disrupting mated citrus psyllid mating. Citrus louse larvae feed on the shoots and leaves of the tree, aspirate the juice and inject it into the toxin. Citrus psyllids can spread citrus Huanglongbing, the immeasurable loss to the citrus industry. Mankin believes that this vibration device can control citrus psylla more environmentally friendly. Signals are sent out by the vibrator to exclude the female planthopper, inducing the male planthopper into the trap, thereby preventing or interfering with the mating of the planthopper and controlling the number of insect population. This vibration device is very simple, including a buzzer and a
