  Field Efficacy Tests of Spodoptera frugiperda on Mountainous Corn Plants in Dehong of Yunnan Province LI Xuemei, DING Jiasheng, ZHANG Bisheng, YUE Yuanbao, ZHANG Peihua, YIN Xin, ZHANG Xiaomei, CHEN Yixiang, WANG Genquan 2025, 15 (1):  13-18.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas2023-0282 Abstract + ( 31 )   HTML ( 1 )   PDF ( 1369KB )   ( 8 ) To establish a solid theoretical foundation for the efficient management of insect pests in corn crops, practical plant protection strategies that reduce the amount of pesticides should be explored. A study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of Spodoptera frugiperda on maize in the mountainous area of Mengga Town, Mangshi City, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Two types of pesticides, 5% emamectin benzoate and 15% indoxacarb, were tested on Spodoptera frugiperda in corn fields using plant protection drones and knapsack electric sprayers. Spodoptera frugiperda larvae can cause damage in the whole growth period of maize, and the infestation rate, damage index, number of insects per 100 plants, and the proportion of different insect ages in different growth stages of maize are significant different, and Spodoptera frugiperda is the most harmful in the big bell stage of maize. Two different methods of applying 5% emamectin benzoate and 15% indoxacarb had a significant impact on the incidence of Spodoptera frugiperda in maize fields. The damage rate and index of maize also showed a significant decrease between 3 to 14 days after application. There was no significant difference in the relative control efficacy of the same pesticide against Spodoptera frugiperda under two different methods. Still, the use of plant protection drones pesticide application had the advantages of labor-saving, time-saving, and pesticide-saving. Spodoptera frugiperda control had a positive effect on increasing the production of maize in the yield, and the experimental treatments results showed a significant increase in yield of the test variety 'Yunrui 62', with 25.28% to 28.93% production increase compared to the control treatment. In total, it is recommended to use UAVs equipped with anti-spray technology to protect plants during large-scale Spodoptera frugiperda control. Additionally, it's important to conduct thorough investigations and implement field management practices to prevent corn insect infestations, which are crucial for achieving high and stable crop yields. It's important to focus on integrating, demonstrating, and promoting the use of this technology in the future.

The test was conducted with 4 soil conditioners and 1 non-fertilized control treatment. Four soil improvers include self-developed formula treatment (including seaweed essence, polyglutamic acid and EDTA chelated trace elements), earthworm polysaccharide treatment, microbial agent treatment and chitooligosaccharides treatment. For each soil conditioner treatment, two fertilization gradients were set as the common dose in agriculture and the equivalent dose, a total of 9 treatments. The experiment measured the plant height, dry and fresh weight, root traits, and other related indicators of different treatments during the 7-leaf stage and booting stage. The results showed that compared to the unfertilized control (CK), all soil conditioners improved the growth of foxtail millet in continuous cropping soil. Among them, chitooligosaccharides and earthworm polysaccharides had the best effect on promoting the growth of foxtail millet roots. After treatment with chitooligosaccharides, the total length of roots increased by 87.4% to 120%, the average diameter of roots increased by 21.7%, and the total number of root tips increased by 93.8% to 144%. During the booting stage after treatment with earthworm polysaccharides, the total length of roots increased by 128% to 161.3%, the average diameter of roots increased by 4.3% to 8.6%, and the total number of root tips increased by 151.4% to 183%. In summary, chitooligosaccharides and earthworm polysaccharide could promote the growth of foxtail millet roots and alleviate obstacles to continuous cropping. This study provided a certain scientific basis for alleviating continuous cropping obstacles in production.

  Change Rule of Pigment Content in Different Color Systems of Sapium sebiferum in Color Stage HE Lei, HUANG Xingzhao, FU Songling, HAN Wenyan, CHENG Mingwei, LUO Xumei 2025, 15 (1):  45-50.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas2023-0265 Abstract + ( 23 )   HTML ( 2 )   PDF ( 1498KB )   ( 6 ) The study aims to provide a theoretical basis for the study of the coloration mechanism of Sapium sebiferum and its configuration in garden applications. During the color-changing period of S. sebiferum leaves, physiological indexes such as chlorophyll, carotenoid and anthocyanin in different color systems of red, yellow and purple were measured regularly, the changing trend of pigment content in different color systems was compared, and the correlation between each pigment content and temperature change was analyzed. The results showed that the contents of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b in red, yellow and purple S. sebiferum showed a decreasing trend, and the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid in purple were higher than those in other colors. Low temperature had little effect on the formation of yellow anthocyanins, but accelerated the formation of purple and red anthocyanins, and the increase of its content was conducive to the color of purple and red S. sebiferum leaves. Although soluble sugar did not directly affect the change of leaf color, it could indirectly regulate the change of leaf color parameters such as chlorophyll.
