Qin Junde, male, Han nationality, is a native of Anji, Zhejiang Province. He
graduated from Dongwu University in 1940 and received a doctorate degree from
Amsterdam University.
Qin founded the first entomological physiological
research office of China. He revealed the physiological relations between
insects and plants and set forth the theory that insects select plants. During
his career, he studied the feeding habits and nutrition of multiple kinds of
pests, such as potato beetles, migratory locusts, cotton bollworms, armyworms
and aphids and the effect of botanic ingredients towards their growth and
reproduction. He took the natural enemies of insects as objects, studied the
nutrition and manual feeding stuff of coccinella septempunctata. By adding
juvenoid, Qin properly solved the complicated problem of manual feed
preparation.
He also studied and defined the characteristics of the
egg-laying season of oriental migratory locust towards adapting to the
environment and submerging and ability to withstand drought, providing
scientific basis for forecasting acridid disaster. He successfully developed the
feed on which a large quantity of flea larva can be raised and method that can
quickly detect the mosquitoes and pests coming from different sources.
