Abstract

Aphis gossypii Glover(Homoptera: Aphididae) is an serious pest on various crops. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of A. gossypii Glover on the growth of oriental melon and the plant recovery after removing A. gossypii. Visible damage symptom caused by A. gossypii feeding to oriental melon was leaf distortion and stunting. A. gossypii feeding for 20 days on oriental melon significantly reduced the growth of oriental melon with increasing A. gossypii density level. Plant growth was decreased by 63${\sim}$69%, 62${\sim}$88% and 49${\sim}$70% in plant height, leaf area and dry weight, respectively. During 10 day after aphids removal, the infested leaves remained stunt, however, new shoot and leaf recovered gradually. By 20 day, plant height, leaf area and dry weight substantially increased in 5 aphid per plant. Plant recovered rapidly with day and among aphid density level, 5 aphid per plant showed rapid recovery. When plant were infested with several density of aphid per plant, sugar contents of total leaves were not significantly different between aphid density level. Whereas, sugar contents of lear infested with aphid per leaf were decreased with increasing cumulative aphid-days.

목화진딧물은 여러 작물에 헤를 입히는 문제해충이다. 본 연구에서는 목화진딧물의 접종밀도를 달리했을 때 참외의 생육고 당함량에 미치는 영향과 진딧물 제거후 생육의 회복 정도를 알아보고자 수행하였다. 진딧물의 피해를 받은 참외의 증상은 잎이 오그라들고 신초부분이 위축되었다. 목화진딧물이 참외에서 20일간 흡즙한 후 생육은 진딧물을 접종하지 않은 참외에 비해 생육이 월등히 감소하였고, 진딧물의 접종밀도간에는 진딧물의 밀도가 높아질수록 생육이 부진하였다. 초장은 무접종의 1/3수준이었고, 엽면적은 무접종에 비해 12${\sim}$38% 수준이었으며 건물증은 무접종의 30${\sim}$51% 수준이었다. 진딧물을 제거한 후 참외의 생육은 10일 후에는 진딧물의 피해를 받은 잎은 거의 신장하지 못한 채로 있으나, 신초부분의 생육이 다소 회복되었다. 20일 후에는 5마리 접종에서 초장, 엽면적 건물증이 월등히 증가하여 생육이 회복되었다. 진딧물 제거후 시간이 지날수록 회복되는 속도가 빨라졌으며 접종밀도간 회복속도는 5마리 접종이 가장 빨랐다. 주당 진딧물을 접종하였을 때 참외 전체 잎의 당함량에는 차이가 없었으나, 엽당 진딧물을 접종하고 접종한 잎만 분석한 경우는 진딧물누적일수량이 증가할 수록 전체 당 함량이 현저히 감소하였다.
