摘要

在壤土中找到了一些和一些在玉米芯壳上的参与和存活率;壤土上的玉米茎;壤土上的桉树;壤土上的麦秸;松木在壤土和单独壤土上作为基质。将壤土放入焚化炉24小时,以去除土壤中存在的所有有机物。在这些实验中使用的昆虫是至少三龄的工虫,因为早期的实验表明,在相同的实验室条件下,三龄以下的工虫存活率很低。为了确定食物偏好和存活率,进行了两项实验。每个试验使用15个饲养容器,尺寸为18x15x7 cm。2周、4周和6周后,将样本从饲养室中取出,计数存活白蚁。以每次处理后的存活白蚁数计算存活率。存活率最高的处理被认为是最受欢迎的食物,从而提高了存活率。小麦秸秆和壤土的成活率最高,平均为82.26%,其次是玉米秸秆和壤土,平均为63.82%。除对照试验外,松材成活率最低,为47.72%。这表明麦秸提高了田鼠的存活率,因此是田鼠最喜欢的食物。

Food Preference and Survival Rates of Allodontermes tenax (Isoptera: Termitidea)
and find Some and a of and were in for involved and survival rates on maize cob husks on loam soil; maize stalk on loam soil; eucalyptus wood on loam soil; wheat straw on loam soil; pinewood on loam soil and loam soil alone as a substrate. The loam soil was put in an incinerator for 24hours to remove any organic matter present in the soil for all the treatments. The insect used in these experiments were workers of at least the third instar since earlier experiments have shown that workers below the third instar have a low survival rate under the same laboratory conditions. Two experiments were performed to determine food preference and survival rates. For each experiment, 15 rearing containers measuring 18x15x7 cm were used. After 2, 4 and 6 weeks, the samples were removed from the rearing chamber and the surviving termites were counted. The number of surviving termite workers found from each treatment was used to calculate the survival rate. The treatment with the highest survival rate was deemed the most preferred food and hence enhanced survival. The rate of survival was highest in wheat straw and loam with a grand average of 82.26% followed by maize stalk and loam with 63.82%. Apart from the control experiment, the lowest survival rates were observed in a pinewood at 47.72%. This shows that wheat straw enhanced the survival of A. tenax and hence the most preferred food item .
