微膠囊化人工飼料大量飼養捕食性天敵之展望

Abstract

微膠囊化人工飼料飼養天敵乃是晚近三十年來開發的一種養蟲技術，它能克服活餌飼育天敵之種種不便，以減低風險並降低生產成本，而達到大量繁殖天敵之目的，以供試驗研究及田間防治之所需。技術上雖有許多待克服之處，然而已有實際成功之商品上市，因此鼓舞後續性之研究發展持續進行著，確信在不久之將來定能在生物防治之領域中大放異彩。 Microencapsulated artificial diets used for mass-rearing natural enemies is a new technique developed in last 30 years. It overcomes plenty of inconvenience to rearnatural enemies by living preys. but also greatly decreases the cost of producing natural enemies. Some natural enemy products are already available in market, although there are a lot of technical shortcomings needed to be overcome.
