Abstract

In order to explore the new technology for the control of Coptotermes formosanus , the agonistic behaviors of termite workers , soldiers and mass among six colonies from Anqing of Anhui , Lishui and Zhuji of Zhejiang , Yichang of Hubei and Hengyang and Chenzhou of Hunan were studied in the laboratory .The results indicated that there was no obvious correlation between the geographical distance and the intercolonial agonistic behavior in C . formosanus .Of the six colonies tested , the colonies from Yichang and Chenzhou showed the strongest aggressive behavior , they fought with all other colonies .But their fighting capacities were weaker , and consequently their mortalities were higher compared with other colonies tested .The colonies from Zhuji and Hengyang had no or weak aggressive behavior .However , they had strong attacking capacities , so consequently they had high survival probability .Meanwhile , it was found that the agonistic behavior of termite mass was the same as that of individual soldier in C .formosanus .We could use the individual soldier to replace the termite mass for the behavior bioassay of C .formosanus .In addition , the experimental duration would influence the final result of experiment sometimes .
