Culture technology of grasshopper

Grasshoppers and locusts must have heard of it, but many people don't know that they are the same thing. Grasshopper is a pest that many farmers hate. Grasshopper does great harm to crops. When it is serious, the whole farmland will be spoiled. But in recent years, how to breed has become a craze, because grasshoppers are also rich in protein, conducive to human growth, fried very delicious. So how to raise grasshoppers? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Select varieties

There are many species of grasshoppers, and the adaptability and resistance of grasshoppers are very strong. We can breed cotton locusts, East Asian migratory locusts and other varieties. Each breed has its own advantages and disadvantages, among which our most common breed is the East Asian migratory locust. However, it is not suitable for everyone to raise, the selection of varieties should be carefully considered according to the growth time, number of eggs, body size, culture environment, market demand and other factors. Different varieties determine the breeding direction and even the market, so we have the actual situation to choose varieties.

2. Site construction

First of all, we should establish the breeding site in a place with strong sunlight and good ventilation, and the farm should be higher than the ground when it is established to facilitate later drainage. Grasshoppers usually lay eggs in the soil, so we should choose sandy soil suitable for grasshoppers to lay eggs, and then spread a layer of leaves on the ground to facilitate grasshopper food. The area of the farm determines the number and density of our breeding. Pay attention to the closeness of the farm to prevent the grasshopper from escaping. After the grasshopper escapes, it will cause devastating harm to crops. Take waterproof and rain-proof measures to prevent excessive amount of water from drowning grasshoppers when it rains.

3. Feeding and management

After the establishment of the site, you can directly put in the planting locusts, the planting locusts will begin to mate and lay eggs, and the young grasshoppers will gradually hatch after laying eggs. About 6 days after hatching, the skin will begin to change, this time is the critical period for the growth of young grasshoppers, there must be enough feed to ensure successful peeling of young grasshoppers. If it is not enough, it will lead to problems in the growth of grasshoppers, or even failure to change their skins. And there is a certain degree of danger, there will be eating too much, being bitten and other problems. Therefore, we must pay attention to that when the grasshopper successfully changes its skin five times, it is almost mature. At this time, some of the grasshoppers lay eggs, and the rest can be caught and listed on the market.

4. Prevent escape

Grasshopper is a kind of insect that does great harm to crops, which is completely different from other special industries. Although artificial culture will make it produce greater value, but also increase the number of grasshoppers, increase the hidden danger. Therefore, in the process of breeding, we must do a good job in anti-escape measures, set up an isolation zone stained with insecticide around the breeding site, prepare sprayers in the field, and spray and kill in time to prevent harm to the external environment.

The above is the editor's brief introduction to grasshopper culture technology, we should pay attention to that grasshopper culture is a great risk. Be sure to observe regularly to prevent escape, so it also indirectly indicates that the labor force is larger. Farmers need to have a certain degree of patience and energy.
