Abstract

The technology of in vitro propagation of parasitic entomophages is a very important process. This direction is very important for the agricultural economy. An average of 1.8-2.2 million dollars is spent on the propagation of parasitic entomophages in our country per year. If we introduce the technology of in vitro propagation of parasitic entomophages, this will reduce costs by 2-3 times. Propagating parasitic organisms in this way will save significant economic costs.

The studies on in vitro rearing Hymenoptera have been conducted successfully in Uzbekistan. For these parasites, cooking and the three main types of media were made from the hemolymph of the wax moth (G.melonnella) and cotton worm Helicoverpa armigera (Heliothis armigera), egg yolk, natural milk 10%. Mass production of in vitro reared Braconidae and Trichogrammatidae its utilization in the fields showed good effectiveness in controlling agricultural economy.

INTRODUCTION

As the main procedure in biological control of

agricultural insect, mass production of several
species of parasitoids has been conducted in

Uzbekistan. Their factitious hosts for mass

production are still the eggs or larvae of insects. For
instance, the eggs of Helicoverpa armigera and

Agrotis Segetum are used for mass rearing
Trichogramma spp. The larvae of Helicoverpa

armigera is the factitious host for mass producing
Bracon habetor Say or Bracon greeni. However,

searching for more convenient and cheaper

methods of parasitoid’ mass rearing is still an

important challenge in biological control.

Manufacture of the simulated “host eggs” and

“larvae” for in vitro rearing these parasitoids is

developed rapidly too. In this paper, artificial diets
and simulated hosts of these parasitoids are

described[1;2;6;7].

METHODS
1) Artificial diets

: For Trichogrammatidae.

Best 3 species Trichogramma were tested: T.

pintoe, T. evanescens, T. chilonis. The first 2 species
are indigenous in Uzbekistan, the others were

introduced from China[1;2;3;4].
This Trichogramma were collected from Tashkent

province, Buka district, and reared in the
laboratory on Galleria mellonella.
a) Pupa hemolymph of Galleria mellonella (heated

Preparing of artificial mediums.

1.

Insect hemolymph collection: Pupa were

immersed in water bath at 600C for 6 or 7 min to
avoid blackening of the hemolymphy. After surface

sterilization with alcohol and need sterile

condition.
2.

Chicken embryo extract collection: The

Chicken embryo extract, only it should be the egg

yolk and need sterile condition.
3.

Milk: Fresh cow milk or 10% powdered milk

solution also need sterile condition.
4.

Inorganic mixture salt: Use Neisenheimer’s

mixture salt (NaCl7.5 g, KCl0.1 g, CaCl20.2 G,

NaHCO30.2 g, H2O 100 ml).
It is defined there is albumen, oil, water when it is

checked ingredients of master caterpi

llar’s type

that belong to Bracon in nature. Besides, Heliothis

armigera Hb, Agrotis segetum Sciss and Galleria

mellonella’s pupa liquid is used for research (Fig

-

2).
Natural milk 10% mixture is added to hemolymph

and hicken yolk is added diet medium and put at

ultraviolet lamp. It is rotated for 5 minutes at 2000
second speed in centrifuge. Diet medium should be

kept in the clean, without microbe room and at
20°C cool [1.3.5;6;7].
After medium has been ready, it is placed in special

artificial caterpillars which are cleaned with 75%

ethyl spirit made of politilen.

MANUFACTURE OF SIMULATED "ARTIFICIAL

: There are 2 types of

artificial “egg

used. The semispherical concaves are made on the
upper plastic film. Artificial medium is poured into

concaves fully (but without overflow) with a micro-
syringe or micro-pipette. The bottom plastic film

has no concaves. The upper and bottom plastic
films are separated and stretched tightly by three

plastic ring with different inner diameters, in our
Cass they are: 5:5 cm, 5.4 cm, 5.2 cm respectively.

b) Bag-

form “egg

-

cards”: One half of a piece of film

is fulled of concaves with medium and is covered

by another half of film. Three sides of film are
sealed. Convex side of capsules are exposed and

between the concave side and bottom half of the
same piece of film there should be space for

aeration. The size of plastic film depends upon the
number of semispherical concaves made on

film[1;2;3].

Fig-1. Bag-form artificial “egg - card” and egg.

2) Produce depicted artificial larvae

: A small

part (1x1) of parafilm is extended 2x4 cm,

absorbed in 75% alcohol for 15 minutes. Then it is

dried with sterile printed paper, folded as a sack

and fixed in order to stick both sides.0,5 ml of
mediums is placed by pipette into each parafilm

box.

When parafilm box is fulled with mediums, it yields

such depicted maggot.15-20 small holes are
opened with sterile entomologic needle for

properly prepared artificial caterpillars. All the

processes of the preparation are required to carry
out in sterile room [1;3;4;5;7].

RESULTS OF IN VITRO REARED PARASITOIDS

It was showed in the Table 1 that the pupae

hemolymphy of either G.melonnellan or

H.armigera Hb could be used as the main
component of the artificial diet for the

development of Trichogrammatidae. There was no
significant difference in their parasitism, survival,

percentage of pupation, adult emergence and
reproductively when the pupae hemolymphyof

G.melonnella was used instead of that of
H.armigera Hb.
It is obvious in the research, prepared all mediums

of diets are harmed with Trichogrammatidae

generation and put there eggs. But it is observed
dying because of inconvenience medium of diets

for developing parasite generation. According to
diet mediums component development of

Trichogrammatidae parasite was rather prolonged
when G.melonnella hemolymphy and inorganic

salt’s quantity was more in diets medium. In fact

quantity of protein and oil is more in the structure

of hemolymphy as well as it is considered
convenient

for

development

of

parasite

maggot[1;2;3].

Artificial larvae (

Thus, from above nominated artificial diet

mediums, pupaе hemolymph of G.melonnella

45.5+1.5 %, chicken yolk 22.5+1,0.3 %, milk 10% /

20.5+0.5 %, inorganic salts 11,5+1,0.3 % composed

medium of diets is defined as a suitable for normal
nourishment

and

development

of

Trichogrammatidae generation in order to rear
trichogramma parasite[1;2].

Fig-4. In vitro reared Braconidae.

2) We chose two type of Bracon

. Bracons, Bracon

hebetor Say and Bracon greeni, this type is tolerant,

durable in extreme condition. It is practiced by
means of choosing convenient state in developing

each type to be harmed diet mediums with Bracon
and in this condition it is put in thermostat(Fig-4).
Damaging the type of Bracon with diet mediums at

30±1°C temperature, at 68±3% moisture.
Thus, in order to develop and consume of

Braconidae generation well from above mentioned
artificial diet, mediums hemolymph wax moths

(G.melonella) 40,04%, chicken yolk 30,03%, milk
10% 29,03% is confirmed as the best diet medium

to rear Braconidae parasite[1;5;6;7].
