매미나방(Lymantria dispar)은 나비목(Lepidoptera) 독나방과(Lymantriidae)에 속하는 해충으로 매미나방은 한국, 일본, 시베리아, 유럽, 북아메리카 등에 분포하며, 주로 배나무, 사과나무, 블루베리 등의 식물을 가해하는 광식성 해충이다. 매미나방은 수목해충으로 관리되어 왔으나 최근 산림 발생지 인접 농경지로 유입 빈도가 높아지면서 방제 대책이 수립되지 않은 농작물에 피해가 심하다. 본 연구는 매미나방(L. dispar)의 방제기술의 일환으로 매미나방 발육에 미치는 온도의 영향을 알아보기 위해 2021년 전라남도 장흥군 황금측백나무에서 채집한 알집을 이용해 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33℃ (14L:10D, 상대습도 60±5%) 항온조건에서 온도별, 발육단계별 발육기간을 조사하였다. 매미나방 유충의 발육속도는 온도가 높을수록 빨라졌으나, 매미나방 유충의 생존율이 33℃에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 발육적온은 30℃였으며, 30℃에서 총 발육기간은 암컷 43.8일, 수컷 42.5일 소요되었다. 암컷과 수컷 발육영점온도는 각각 13.1℃, 12.5℃, 유효적산온도는 각각 641.1 DD, 657.8 DD였다.
Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar), a polyphagous insect pest belonging to the family Lymantriidae, is widely distributed in Korea, Japan, Siberia, Europe, and North America. They pose a threat to various host plants including pear trees, apple trees, and blueberries. Traditionally considered a forest pest, the increasing incursion of gypsy moths into agricultural land near forested areas has intensified damage to crops lacking effective control methods. This study aimed to investigate the temperature-dependent development of gypsy moths to enhance outbreak prediction and advance technology development. The effects of temperature on development of each life stage were investigated under constant temperature conditions of 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, and 33℃ (14L:10D, RH 60±5%) utilizing egg masses collected in Jeollanam-do Jangheung-gun in 2021. The results revealed that higher temperatures accelerated the development rate of the gypsy moth larvae with optimal development occurring at 30℃. However, the survival rate was lowest at 33℃. At the favorable temperature of 30℃, the total development period was 43.8 days for females and 42.5 days for males. The developmental threshold temperature were 13.1℃ for females and 12.5℃ for males, with effective accumulated temperature of 641.1 DD and 657.8 DD, respectively.
