흰불나방(Hyphantria cunea D.) 용의 휴면 유기와 종료

Initiation and Termination of Pupal Diapause in the Fall Webworm, Huphantria cunea Drury

흰불나방의 용 휴면(休眠) 유기(誘起)와 월동휴면 종료(終了)시기를 조사한 실험에서 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$온도 조건에서 휴면유기의 임계일장은 14시간과 14시간 30분 사이에 존재하였다. 2. 유충 발육기간은 $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$조건에서 일장이 길어질 수록 약간씩 단축되었다. 3. 야외에서 월동휴면 종료는 12월하순 이후에 부분적으로 시작되었으며 그 이전에 꺼낸 용은 성충으로 전혀 우화되지 않았다.

This study was carried out to investigate the incidence and termination of pupal diapause in the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea Drury. Larvae obtained from overwintered pupae were reared on Morus alba leaves at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ with the relative humidity of 60% or higher in a laboratory. The critical photoperiod for pupal diapause initiation is between 14hrs and 14hrs & 30 minutes at $25{\pm}10^{\circ}C$. The developmental period of larvae was shorter under longer photoperiod at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. In nature. diapause termination seems to begin in late December. The diapausing pupae did not emerge at all when they were transferred to a favorable environment before the time.
