Introduction to four management points of breeding locusts (grasshoppers)!

Speaking of locusts, we must think of pests, but in recent years, locusts have become a delicacy on people's dinner table, and locust breeding programs have been carried out in many rural areas. So, what are the management points of breeding locusts? Let's get to know it together.

1. Larval management

The hatching of the grasshopper has relatively strict requirements on the temperature, which should not exceed at least 28-29 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, it will lead to various problems in hatching. When the larvae hatch, we should pay attention to the feeding of food. Young grasshoppers have less appetite and do not eat much, but they prefer to eat tender leaves. They can use the young leaves of various plants to raise, and pay attention to the protection of young grasshoppers when it rains. Control the temperature, try to ensure that the temperature fluctuation is small, but also ensure that the breeding house has a certain degree of humidity, ensure that there is sufficient light time, and create the most suitable environment for grasshopper growth.

2. Prevention and control of natural enemies

Locusts are agricultural pests, and they also have many natural enemies in nature. when setting up breeding farms, we must remove miscellaneous insects on the ground, such as ants, because these insects can destroy grasshopper eggs. Insecticides or boiling water can be used to put an end to the existence of these animals in the farm, and the eggs of natural enemies should also be destroyed, and then disinfect the surrounding areas. Prevent natural enemies from entering from outside the farm, such as birds and mantis, which have a great impact on the growth and development of locusts.

3. Strengthen feeding

The feeding of the young grasshopper is very important, because the young grasshopper's body is very fragile, especially when it changes age, if something goes wrong with the feed, it will lead to the death of the young grasshopper, and the grasshopper will eat a lot of food. The young grasshopper can be fed with wheat bran, corn leaves and other food. Protecting the young grasshopper is a necessary work in the process of raising the young grasshopper, and only by protecting the young grasshopper can it reproduce effectively. Increase the number of columns.

4. Overwintering management

Grasshoppers are sensitive to temperature changes and do not adapt to the low temperature environment, so it is very important to do a good job in overwintering management in winter. During overwintering management, attention should be paid to keeping the eggs warm, without transferring the farm, placing a layer of weeds or quilts above the egg area to do a good job of heat preservation, and if possible, some warming equipment can be set up in the farm, which can effectively maintain the surface temperature. To help them survive the winter successfully.

Although the cultivation of locusts is not complex, but in order to increase the number of hurdles, we still need correct and scientific breeding methods, we should learn a lot when breeding!
