The Construction method of Scorpion Culture Base

Since the early 1950s, China has begun the experimental research work of artificial scorpion breeding, and has made gratifying progress. In Anhui and other provinces, a large number of professional scorpion farmers have successively appeared, taking the lead in running on the road of being well-off. Let's take a look at the construction method of scorpion breeding base.

Selection of breeding base

1. Venue: the site requires leeward and sunny. Generally speaking, it should be on the sunny side of the south slope of the mountain, at the same time, avoid the tuyere, and avoid building a field facing the wind in the mountain pass.

2. Environmental conditions: usually, terraces or relatively flat mountain fields should be selected, and the surrounding trees should be 10 meters away from the site, avoid shading or roots, affect the construction of scorpion nest, and require the maximum slope of the mountain site not to exceed 40 degrees.

3. Soil quality: the soil quality of the site should be loam or sandy loam to meet the temperature and humidity requirements of scorpion. The soil should be neutral or slightly acidic and slightly alkaline.

4. Topography: the site should not be in low-lying places, but should be able to discharge stagnant water smoothly so as not to flood the scorpion nest and affect the normal growth and development of scorpion.

5. Natural enemies: during the selection, special attention should be paid to avoiding the natural enemies of scorpion in space, such as ants, mice, snakes and so on.

Repair of breeding base

1. Ploughing fine: turn the mountain field about 30 centimeters into a terraced field, and make the soil layer fine and uniform.

2. Clear the field: clean up large and small stones, weeds and their grass roots, so as not to affect the scorpion's nest, or the recurrence of weeds in the coming year, affecting the normal light, temperature and humidity conditions of the scorpion field.

Planning of culture base

In general, when the mountain field area is more than 10 meters * 10 meters, it should be zoned. The purpose of zoning is to divide the large site into small sites, so as to facilitate the repair of irrigation and drainage channels and the layout of scorpion nests according to the community.

1. The size of the district: the size of the district is generally 2050 square meters. The specifications are 10 m * 5 m, 10 m * 3 m, 6 m * 5 m, 5 m * 5 m and so on.

2. Layout

① if the scorpion field is square, the layout is simple, easy, neat and beautiful, and the rectangular cells are arranged in turn. There is a road between the rows, and there should be drains by the side of the road. the width of the road is about 1 meter, and the district in the row is directly connected.

② if the scorpion field is triangular or trapezoidal, the community can be arranged in the shape of "product".

③ if the site is irregularly shaped, it depends on the circumstances. Try to be neat, concise, centralized and reasonable.
