How to raise a climbing fork

Environmental conditions: the soil should be soft, fertile, pollution-free and should not be too dry. Supply feed: sweet potato, potato, yam and so on. Epidemic prevention: prevent snakes, hedgehogs, wild cats, sparrows, mantis, toads and other violations, but also prevent floods, pesticides, fertilizers and other pollution. Production facilities: build gauze net shed and fence. Timely harvest: harvest in mid-late June to early August every year.

I. Environmental conditions

The main results are as follows: 1. The depth of forked species is about 30-50cm, and the topography should be sunny, which is beneficial to anti-freezing.

2. The soil should be soft, fertile, pollution-free, not too dry, too high in water content, or stagnant water, so as to ensure the normal growth and development, tender and succulent root system of the host plant.

3. In winter, the breeding area can be covered with some wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw and so on.

II. Supply of feed

You can choose strong tree species with developed roots, exuberant growth and more juice, such as elm, poplar, willow, paulownia and various fruit trees in the orchard, as well as intercropping some root plants, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams and so on.

III. Epidemic prevention and pest prevention

1. There are many natural enemies of unearthed nymphs and feathered adults, such as snakes, rodents, hedgehogs, wild cats, sparrows, mantis, toads, etc., while Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria bassiana and entomogenous algae are also parasitic.

2. In addition, the pollution of floods, pesticides and chemical fertilizers also do great harm to the climbing fork, so we should pay attention to the protective measures in the process of breeding.

IV. Production facilities

1. For the facilities for the production of adults and nymphs, in addition to collecting cicada eggs naturally, a screen shed can be built to provide space for adults to lay eggs, and fruit trees in abandoned orchards can be used to replant fruit tree seedlings.

2. Then, around the seedlings of fruit trees, cement columns or bamboo bars are used to build fences, and iron wires are drawn in the middle, which can be covered with a layer of nylon window screen, in which the adults can mate and lay eggs, and the adults can be retained according to the number in the future, and there is no need to collect provenances from the wild.

5. Timely harvest

1. It is a better season to harvest climbing forks in the field from mid-late June (around the Summer Solstice) to early August (around the Beginning of Autumn). The weather of climbing forks is concentrated in early July or after rain, and nymphs are in the wet and soft ground. will dig holes with a pair of jagged forefeet.

2. After climbing out of the ground, do short-term exercise on the ground, and then climb to the tree trunk or scaffolding to prepare for molting. At 4-6 o'clock in the morning, the feathered fork can be turned into a climbing fork, during which you can use a flashlight to illuminate, and then catch it on the ground and trunk under the tree at night. You can also catch the feathered tender fork on the tree in the early morning.
