US 6626313 B2Abstract
We claim: 1. A method of delivering ichneumon flies over an extended surface area for agricultural pest control, wherein said method comprises the steps of:
a) providing a number of containers, each of said containers consisting of a plurality of ichneumon fly eggs and two biodegradable plastic parts (2, 3), said two biodegradable plastic parts (2,3) having inner walls (19) with said ichneumon fly eggs (10) adhering to said inner walls, and wherein said two biodegradable plastic parts (2,3) are connected with each other to form a closed container for the ichneumon fly eggs, except that at least one of said two biodegradable plastic parts (2,3) is provided with at least one emergence opening (13) that is sufficiently large enough so that said ichneumon flies hatching from said ichneumon fly eggs leave through said at least one emergence opening; b) dropping said containers over the extended surface area without destroying said containers; and c) leaving said containers on the extended surface area for a time sufficient for hatching of said ichneumon fly eggs and emergence of the ichneumon flies from said containers; whereby said ichneumon flies kill agricultural pests by deposition of further ichneumon fly eggs in eggs of said pests and said containers decompose leaving no residue. 2. The method as defined in claim 1, wherein at least about 2000 of said ichneumon fly eggs adhere to said inner walls of said biodegradable plastic parts of each of said containers.
The container 1 consists of two dish-shaped hemispherical parts 2, 3, which are manufactured from biodegradable plastics using an injection-molding method. At the zenith of each of the two parts 2, 3, a slit-shaped emergence opening 13 is provided, the dimensions of which are approximately 0.5�5 mm. One part 2 has a circumferential collar 4 at its outer rim, which collar forms a bearing surface 5, 6 on both the inner wall and the outer wall of the part. By means of the outer bearing surface 5, the part 2 can be inserted, so that it does not tip over, into a seat in a work support of a device and can be conveyed to the filling station of a device (not shown). The inner stop surface 6 is used for positioning the other part 3 thereon, which part 3 also has a circumferential collar 7 that fits into the inner bore of the collar 4 of the part 2. In order to facilitate insertion of the part 3 into the part 2, the collar 7 of the part 3 has a shoulder surface 8. The collar 7 of the part 3 also has an outer bearing surface 9, which enables the part 3 to be placed upright in the seat of the work support without tipping over.
