Abstract

Chouioia cunea Yang is a natural enemy for many kinds of crops and forest pests, particularly forHyphantria cunea Drary, which is an international quarantine pest. The experiment of rearingChouioia cunea with Tussah (Silkworm) pupa were carried out by “three-cut method” and inoculating method. The results showed that three-cut method is effective way for breedingChouioia cunea, with a parasitical rate of 95%. The biological characteristics and the life cycle ofChouioia cunea were observed and described and more hosts ofChouioia cunea were found. “Three-cut method” as a new technique of rearingChouioia cunea has been put into practice.
