Researches on techniques for biocontrol of the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea, a severe invasive insect pest to China
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) is a severe invasive pest and has caused significant damages to forests and ornamental trees in China since its first finding in 1979. Particularly it has spread aseantriato Beijing in recent year and threats the successful conducting of “the Green Olympics” in Beijing in 2008. From the fail lessons of classical biological control by introductions of parasitoids from USA and Canada carried out during the period of 1952～1965, we have focused on looking for the China native parasitoids for biological control of the pest. By effort of successive studies for 21 years, an effective pupa parasitoid in the pest pupa, Chouioia cunea Yang (gen. sp. nov.)(Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), was found and selected as a biological control agent. The biology, behavior, ecology, female reproductive system anatomy and mass rearing of the parasitoid have subsequently been studied. Meanwhile, the researches on releasing technique and substitute hosts for mass rearing the parasitoid have been carried out. The excellent control results were gotten by releasing it in many areas. In the same time a strain of nuclear polyhedron virus of the fall webworm (HcNPV) in the pest larva with high toxicity was discovered and selected. A superior artificial diet was developed for mass rearing fall webworm larvae first, and a large number of the pest larvae were reared with the diet, then inoculating HcNPV for mass producing the virus. In this way the quality and quantity of HcNPV have been guaranteed for biological control of the pest larvae. An integrative biological control technique has been developed, i.e. spraying HcNPV in larva stage and releasing the parasitoid, C. cunea in the pupa stage of the fall webworm respectively. By applying the technique to control two generations of the fall webworm successively an effective and sustainable control results could be reached, and the fall webworm has been suppressed for six years in Shanghai, Dalian, Yantai and Qingdao cities. The biocontrol technique is safe for environment, attaining excellent control result without having influence on environment and biodiversity because the biocontrol agents are original ecological factors in forest ecosystems. It has been used in Beijing for control of the fall webworm to ensure that the goal of “the Green Olympics” be realized in 2008.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
