Abstract
These experiments were conducted to investigate the ecological characteristics of Amblyseius womersleyi Schica,which was biological agent in the integrated management of tea red spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida.At four constant temperatures of 15, 20, 25, and 30$^{\circ}$C, the periods of A. womersleyi from egg to adult emergencewere 22.8, 9.6, 4.8, and 3.6 days, respectively. Developmental threshold and effectively cumulative degree-day from egg to adult emergence were 12.7"C and 61.4DD, respectively. Preoviposition periods of A.womersleyi were shorter than oviposition and postoviposition periods. The number of eggs laid per female was21.7, 28.1, 34.2, and 48.0 at the respective temperatures. The intrinsic rates of increase were estimated to be 0.064, 0.139, 0.349, and 0.402; the mean generation times were 36.0, 19.3, 8.6, and 7.7 days; the populationdoubling times were 10.8, 5.0, 2.0, and 1.7 days, respectively. A. womersleyi overwintered on green weeds, fallenleaves and in the soil surface as adult females. A. womersleyi gravid female consumed 3.0, 4.9, 15.7, and19.4 eggs of T. kanzawai per day at 15, 20, 25, and 30$^{\circ}$C, respectively. A. womersleyi protonymph consumed4.6 eggs, deutonymph 6.3 eggs, and female during oviposition consumed 19.4 eggs, and 6.8 eggs of T. kanzawaiduring postoviposition per day at 30$^{\circ}$C. at 30$^{\circ}$C.
간자와응애의 주요한 포식성 천적인 긴털이리응애의 생태적 특성에 대해 조사한 시험결과는 다음과 같다. 긴털이리응애의 발육기간은 15, 20, 25, 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 난에서 우화까지의 기간은 각각 22.8, 9.6, 4.8, 3.6일이었으며, 난에서 후약충까지의 발육영점은 12.7$^{\circ}C$, 유효적산온도는 61.4일도였다. 온도별 성충의 산란전기간은 산란기간이나 산란후기간보다 짧았다. 또한 자성충의 산란수는 21.7, 28.1, 34.2, 48.0개로 고온일수록 산란수가 많았다. 긴털이리응애의 내적자연증가율은 위의 각 온도에서 0.064, 0.139, 0.349, 0.402였으며, 평균세대기간은 36.0, 19.3, 8.6, 7.7일이었고, 개체군이 두배로 증가하는데는 10.8, 5.0, 2.0, 1.7일이 소요되었다. 긴털이리응애는 잡초, 낙엽, 토양에서 월동하고 있었다. 긴털이리응애의 산란 자성충의 포식량은 15, 20, 25, 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 각각 3.0, 4.9, 15.7, 19.4개의 간자응애 난을 포식하였으며, $30^{\circ}C$에서 전약충은 4.6개, 후약충 6.3개, 산란기 간중에 19.4개, 산란후기간에 6.8개의 난을 포식하였다.
