Outline of Final Research Achievements

The alfalfa weevil was accidentally introduced into Japan in early 1980’s. This pest infested Chinese milk vetch in paddy fields of Japan. Rice farmers in Japan keep Chinese milk vetch as a green manure in winter and the flowers of the plant provide the main source of honey products for apiarists in spring. Four species of parasitoids were introduced into Japan as biological control agents from U.S.A to control the pest. One of the parasitoids, Bathyplectes anurus was recovered in 1996. Our survey showed that percentage parasitism of B. anurus gradually increased and the density of the alfalfa weevil gradually decreased. Biological control of the alfalfa weevil was quite effective around 2015 in Fukuoka.
