Efficiency Enhancement Technology of <i>Dastarcus helophoroides</i> (Coleoptera: Bothrideridae) for Controlling <i>Monochamus alternatus</i> (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): Drilling Optimization and Biological Collaboration.

ABSTRACT: Dastarcus helophoroides Fairmaire, a parasitic natural enemy widely used in the biological control of Monochamus alternatus Hope, possesses strong abilities to search for hosts and prey. To enhance the biological control efficacy of D. helophoroides against M. alternatus, this study systematically evaluated the effectiveness of enhancing control through methods such as drilling holes in lure logs and introducing D. helophoroides carrying Pyemotes zhonghuajia or Beauveria bassiana under controlled indoor conditions. The results showed that: (1) Releasing D. helophoroides eggs (after 30 days) and releasing adults (after 120 days) were both effective in controlling M. alternatus, with the best control effects achieved when 50 eggs
