Green Manure Crops as Food Source: Impact on the Performance of the Migratory Beet Webworm, Loxostege sticticalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

The application of green manure is crucial for achieving sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry, but pest management often overlooked. Conducting a risk assessment insect pests in essential. beet webworm, Loxostege sticticalis, polyphagous insect, currently experiencing an outbreak northern China, represents significant migratory pest. A two-sex life table flight mill test approach was used to comprehensively evaluate the effects three major legume crops (Pisum sativam, Vicia sativa, villosa) on growth, development, fecundity, ability L. sticticalis China. Our findings indicate that cannot utilize V. villosa generational development. shows reduced performance P. sativam sativa compared its suitable host Chenopodium album. However, both population parameters (R0, r, λ, T) prediction results suggest can adapt sativa. In process promoting manure, careful consideration should be given selection appropriate varieties implementation effective control measures during their planting. lay groundwork promotion ecological plan sticticalis.
