Comparison of Artificial Diets and Natural Prey for Mass Rearing of Orius strigicollis (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) Using Demographic Characteristics to Optimize Cost-Efficiency
Original language description
Orius strigicollis (Poppius) has been commonly released to control minute pests due to its remarkable foraging and predation ability. Despite decades long history of mass-rearing using eggs of Cadra cautella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) as food, the cost of this food impeded the predator's marketing potential. Finding cost-effective artificial diets for mass rearing programs is, therefore, the key to promote the use of this generalist predator in practice. The aim of this study was to explore suitability of alternative diets for mass rearing of this predator, using the age-stage, two-sex life table. Eight recipes of artificial diets were initially screened, and the candidate diets were subsequently evaluated using the population parameters of O. strigicollis. The highest intrinsic rate of increase was found in the O. strigicollis fed on the meridic combined Diet 1, where nymphs and adults were fed different diets. However, the intensive period of oviposition by females reared on oligidic Diet O3 contributed to the shorter rearing period (42 d) and lower rearing cost than that on combined Diet 1 (60 d). Besides, with the harvest rate of 0.919, the minimal population size of 10,774 individuals with a stable age-stage distribution was needed for daily harvesting 1,000 third instars of O. strigicollis reared on Diet O3 at the rearing cost of 0.295 NTD (new Taiwanese dollar) per nymph. Thus, Diet O3 was determined to be the most cost-effective recipe for the mass-rearing of O. strigicollis among those used in this study.
