蚱蝉暴发成灾及防治试验

Outbreak and Control of Cryptotympana atrata

摘要: 蚱蝉Cryp totympana atrata(Fabricius)属同翅目Homoptera,蝉科Cicadidae,在我国分布较广泛。据文献1记载,蚱蝉若虫、成虫能危害44科、77属、144种林木、果树等木本植物;成虫产卵能造成被害枝条枯死或形成明显的产卵痕迹。1999年7月中下旬,浙江某地机场及周边地区,蚱蝉成虫暴发成灾,特别是飞机发动时,数千只蚱蝉成虫闻声迅速飞向发动的飞机并猛烈冲撞,短时间内毁坏飞机发动机数台,造成巨大经济损失。蚱蝉成灾后,飞机被迫停飞。笔者应邀进行了蚱蝉生活习性观察和防治试验,现将结果总结如后。
