2012年7月对广州市九龙镇柑橘园内红火蚁的发生密度进行调查。调查结果显示,柑橘园内的平均蚁巢密度每100m2为7个,红火蚁疫情处于中度危害阶段;地上诱集到红火蚁的诱饵占56.41%,柑橘树上诱集到红火蚁的诱饵占25.96%,红火蚁在柑橘树上的活动程度低于地面。通过调查不仅对准确掌握疫情、科学制定防治策略有实际意义,还为评估红火蚁对柑橘生态系统的影响提供了基础数据。

Results showed that the mound density was 7 mounds per 100 m2. The red imported fire ant dominated 56.41% of baits on ground and 25.96% baits on trees. This study provided fundamental data for further study on the influence of red imported fire ant on ecosystem in citrus orchard.
