Abstract
Development and reproduction of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci(B biotype) were investigated under different temperatures and host plants. Developmental periods from egg to pre-adult of whiteflies measured under four constant temperatures: they were 86.2 days at $15^{\circ}C$ and 17.0 days at $30^{\circ}C$. Lower threshold temperature and total effective temperature for the development of egg and nymph, and for the complete development (egg to emergence) were $10.1,\;11.6,\;11.1^{\circ}C$ and 110.3, 204.7, 317.3 degree days, respectively. The hatching and emergence rates were 87.0% at $25^{\circ}C$ and 76.7% at $20^{\circ}C$, which were higher than the results of other temperatures. The adult longevity was 23.6 and 14.0 days at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The highest average fecundity per female was 103.3 at $25^{\circ}C$. But there were no significant differences among the temperatures. The highest intrinsic rate of natural increase($r_{m}$) was 0.196 at $30^{\circ}C$ and the highest net reproduction rate ($R_{o}$) was 97.33 at $25^{\circ}C$. Developmental periods from egg to pre-adult of whiteflies were 21.2 on the tomato, 28.1 on red pepper, 22.2 on eggplant and 25.5 days on poinsetia. The hatching was highest (90.3%) on red paper and emergence rate was highest (89.6%) on eggplant. The longest longevity of adult female was 26.5 days on eggplant, and the average fecundity per female was greater on tomato and eggplant than on other host plants. The intrinsic rate of natural increase($r_{m}$) was the highest on tomato as 0.165 and the net reproduction rate ($R_{o}$) was the highest on eggplant as 106.1. As a result, the optimum range of temperature for the growth of B. tabaci was between $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, and the optimum host plant were tomato and eggplant among the plants tested.
담배가루이(B biotype)의 온도조건과 기주별로 발육과 생식에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 알에서 성충까지의 발육기간은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 86.2일이었고, $30^{\circ}C$에서는 17.0일로 온도가 높아질수록 약 5배 짧았다. 알, 약충 그리고 알에서 성충까지의 발육영점온도는 각각 $10.1^{\circ}C$, $11.6^{\circ}C$, $11.1^{\circ}C$였고, 유효적산온도는 각각 110.3, 204.7, 317.3일도였다. 부화율은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 87.0%, 우화율(부화유충에서 성충까지)은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 76.7%로 높았다. 성충수명은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 23.6일이었고, $30^{\circ}C$에서는 14.0일로 온도가 높을수록 짧았다. 그리고 암컷한마리당 평균 총산란수는 $25.0^{\circ}C$에서 103.3개로 가장 많았으나 온도간에 유의성은 없었다. 1세대당 순증식율($R_{o}$)은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 97.33로 가장 높았다. 그리고 내적자연증가율($r_{m}$)은 온도가 높아 질수록 높아졌으며, $30.0^{\circ}C$에서 0.196으로 가장 높았다. 토마토, 고추, 가지, 포인세치아를 기주로 $25^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 알에서 우화까지의 발육기간은 각각 21.2, 28.1, 22.2, 25.5일이었다. 부화율은 고추에서 90.3%로 가장 높았고, 우화율은 가지에서 89.6%로 가장 높았다. 성충수명은 가지에서 26.5일로 가장 길었고, 고추에서 가장 짧았다. 암컷 한마리당 평균 산란수는 토마토와 가지에서 많았다. 1세대당 순증식율($R_{o}$)은 가지에서 106.1로 가장 높았고, 내적자연증가율($r_{m}$)은 토마토에서 0.165로 가장 높았다. 이상의 결과로 담배가루이의 성장에 적합한 온도범위는 $25~30^{\circ}C$이었고, 가장 적합한 기주식물은 토마토와 가지로 분석되었다.
