摘要： In East Asia, rice is a key crop that is subject to significant insect driven crop damage often leading to wide scale reliance on insecticides. We assessed the effects of releasing conditions (including density, frequency and distribution points) of a parastic wasp (i.e., Trichogramma japonicum ) on the control efficacy it provided against two rice pest herbivores (i.e., Chilo suppressalis and Cnaphalocrocis medinalis ). Optimal control was achieved by three releases of 150,000 wasps per hectare across 75 release points within a hectare rice field. A following 2-year large-scale field experiment demonstrated that the release of parasitic wasps allowed a 60.0 % reduction in insecticide use when compared to the insecticide treatment alone. Importantly, there was also a 3.7 % increase in pest control, 2.5 % increase in rice yield, and an overall 4.5 % increase in net economic benefit when the release of parasitic wasps was combined with insecticide application. This was an improvement on the use of either parasitic wasps alone or insecticide application alone. Release of parasitic wasps had co-benefits for other invertebrate predators whose abundance was increased by 65.8 % relative to the insecticide only treatment, however, this fell to a 26.4 % increase when parasitic wasps release was combined with insecticide use. Additionally, the combined treatment group of parasitic wasps and insecticides exhibited the highest net economic benefit (40488.9 +/- 593.2 Chinese Yuan (CNY) ha -1 ), significantly surpassing both the parasitic wasps-only treatment by 8.9 % and the treatment of no parasitic wasps and no insecticide by 21.8 %. These findings suggest that parasitic wasps releasing is a feasible approach to ecological engineering to promote multiple ecosystem services linked to greater crop yield in agroecosystems.
