Abstract:
【Objective】 In order to study the effects on population continuation of
Galleria mellonella fed with farmland residual film.
【Methods】 Two generations of
Galleria mellonella were reared at constant temperature of 30℃ and 60%±10% RH (relative humidity ) with wheat bran and Xinjiang farmland residual film as feed (MF, 50%NTCM, 100%NTCM).
【Results】 The results showed that: (1) The feeding amount of wheat bran decreased with the increase of residual film addition (
P<0.05).The feeding amount of residual film increased with the increase of residual film addition.The second generation of each treatment consumed less wheat bran than the first generation, while the amount of residual film consumed increased.The total feeding amount of farmland residual film and wheat bran decreased with the increase of residual film addition.The total feeding amount of MF treatment was lower than that of the first generation, and that of 50%NTCM and 100%NTCM treatment was higher than that of the second generation.(2) The pupal weight and pupal length decreased with the increase of residual film addition, and the pupal weight and pupal length of the second generation were lower than those of the first generation (
P>0.05).Different treatments had no significant effect on the body weight of male and female moths, and the body weight of the second generation of male and female moths in each treatment was lower than that of the first generation (
P>0.05).There were no significant change rules in the body length of male and female moths in different treatments.(3) The egg-production of female moths decreased with the increase of residual film.The egg-production of the second generation of 100%NTCM treatment was greater than that of the first generation (
P>0.05).The egg-production of the second generation of MF and 50%NTCM treatment was less than that of the first generation (
P<0.05).The hatching rate decreased with the increase of residual film addition (
P>0.05), and the hatching rate of the second generation was less than that of the first generation (
P>0.05).
【Conclusion】 With different proportions of Xinjiang farmland residual film and wheat bran as feed, the feeding amount of residual film by
Galleria Mellonella larvae decreased with the increase of wheat bran addition.The feeding amount of wheat bran of the second generation of each treatment was lower than that of the first generation, but the amount of residual film increased.The pupal weight and pupal length decreased with the increase of residual film addition, and the pupal weight and pupal length of the second generation were lower than those of the first generation.Different treatments had no significant effect on the body weight of male and female moths, and the body weight of the second generation was lower than that of the first generation, but there was no significant change rules in the body length of male and female moths.The egg-production and hatching rate decreased with the increase of residual film.The hatching rate of the second generation was less than that of the first generation, but the egg-production of 100%NTCM treatment of the second generation was greater than that of the first generation.
