This project seeks to develop autodissemination of entomopathogens for bio-control of Sitona lineatus and Bruchus rufimanus, two major pests of UK legumes that affect yield and quality. An aggregation pheromone for S. lineatus, highly attractive to both sexes, was identified by Rothamsted Research in the early 1980's. A monitoring trap for B. rufimanus, incorporating a floral lure, is under development in TSB project 100871. This project will develop a 'lure and kill' trap combining entomopathogenic fungi with semio-chemicals, formulated electrostatically to enable better delivery to target insects. This will provide an effective and novel pest management tool. There is currently no bio-control system available to UK pulse growers for these pests. Use of insecticide as a killing agent will also be tested. The project will advance sustainable intensification of agriculture and deliver economic impact for the UK Agri-Tech industry by tackling the challenge to quality and production caused by insect pests of pea and bean crops whilst reducing adverse impacts on the environment. Many growers apply 5 to 6 pyrethroid sprays to achieve sufficient control of adult Sitona lineatus to prevent yield loss, and as pest pressure increases, insecticides prove less effective. Alternative approaches for crop protection are needed. The 'lure-and-kill' system developed by the project will provide 'proof of concept' for other pests and crops.

该项目旨在开发昆虫病原体的自动传播技术，以对英国豆科植物中影响产量和质量的两种主要害虫——Sitona lineatus 和 Bruchus rufimanus 进行生物防治。洛桑研究中心 (Rothamsted Research) 在 20 世纪 80 年代初发现了一种对两性都极具吸引力的 S. lineatus 聚集信息素。 TSB 项目 100871 正在开发一种包含花诱剂的 B. rufimanus 监测诱捕器。该项目将开发一种“引诱并杀死”诱捕器，将昆虫病原真菌与化学信息素相结合，通过静电配制，以便更好地递送到目标昆虫。这将提供一种有效且新颖的害虫管理工具。目前，英国豆类种植者还没有针对这些害虫可用的生物防治系统。还将测试使用杀虫剂作为杀灭剂。该项目将通过解决豌豆和豆类作物虫害对质量和生产造成的挑战，同时减少对环境的不利影响，推动农业的可持续集约化，并为英国农业科技行业带来经济影响。许多种植者使用 5 至 6 次拟除虫菊酯喷雾剂来充分控制成虫，防止产量损失，但随着害虫压力的增加，杀虫剂的效果逐渐减弱。需要替代的作物保护方法。该项目开发的“诱杀”系统将为其他害虫和农作物提供“概念验证”。
