Abstract
Orius strgicollis Poppius is an endemic natural enemy of thrips recently found. To estimatethe optimum temperature for rearing in laboratory, development and oviposition of 0. strigicollis wasstudied at 15, 20, 25 and 30$^{\circ}$C with a 16L : 8D photoperiod and 60-80% RH. Cotton aphid, Aphisgossipyii, was supplied as prey. Total number of eggs laid per female ranged from 39.1 to 68.5 with thehighest at 25$^{\circ}$C. Adult longevity decreased as temperature increased, and the reverse was true for eggsurvivorship. Survivorship of larvae was 26.7,43.3, 76.7 and 46.7% at 15, 20, 25 and 30$^{\circ}$C, respectively.Duration of eggs and larvae at tested temperatures ranged from 3.4 days to 18.9 days and from 9.4 days to45.6 days, respectively. A linear regression model could describe development of the predator as afunction of temperature (R2=0.949-0.997). The lower developmental threshold temperatures for egg,larvae, and total immature stage were estimated to be 12.4, 11.4, and 11.6"C, respectively.6"C, respectively.vely.
총채벌레류의 포식성 천적으로 알려진 Orius strigicollis(Poppius)의 발육과 산란에 미치는 온도의 영향을 조사하기 위한 실험조건은 처리온도 15, 20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 60~80%, 광주기 16L:8D로 조절하였으며, 먹이는 목화 진딧물을 급여하였다. 처리온도별 총산란수와 성충수명은 각각 39.1, 66.4, 68.5, 47.5개와 32.6, 26.5, 13.7, 9.0일이었으며, 알기간과 부화율은 각각 18.9, 8.6, 6.1, 3.4일과 70.6, 81.8, 80.0, 91.8%이었고, 약충의 발육기간과 생존율은 각각 45.6, 21.3, 11.6, 9.4일과 26.7, 43.3, 76.7, 46.7%였다. 발육영점온도는 알 $12.4^{\circ}C$, 약충 $11.4^{\circ}C$였고, 유효적산온도는 알 64.9일도, 약충 172.4일도이다.
