Ganoderma lucidum termites

Termites, also known as termites, belong to Isoptera, termite family. Termites mainly occur in hilly and mountainous areas, but less in plain areas. Termites are a large family, most prosperous in the tropics and subtropics. Ants mainly eat wood in the cultivation of edible fungi such as Ganoderma lucidum.

The damage characteristics of termites led to the separation of bark and xylem, which inhibited the mycelium growth and fruiting body formation of Ganoderma lucidum. In turn, the output of Ganoderma lucidum decreased.

Morphological characteristics

The winged adult has a length of 27 mi 29.5 mm and a wingspan of 45-50 mm. The head, chest, abdomen and back are dark brown, the ventral side is brown, the wings are brown, and the body has dense fine hairs. The head is round, the antennae are 19 nodes, and there is a "ten" pattern in the center of the forechest dorsal plate, showing light color.

The queen and the queen are 70mi 80mm long and 13Mel 15mm wide. The head and chest are similar to winged adults, but the color is darker and the body wall is harder.

The soldier ant body is 5.5-6.0 mm long, the head is yellow, slightly hairy, chest and abdomen hair is denser, yellowish to grayish white. The back is oval.

Worker ant body length 4.6-5.0 mm, chest and abdomen gray-white, head yellow, head back side edge circular arc.

Most termites live in the soil buried with wood and like to move in the shadow. winged ants are grouped in May-June and are generally active in the muggy evening. The eyes of soldiers and workers have degenerated, go out for food, and their bodies are covered with a layer of mud, such as a layer of mud to prevent attacks by natural enemies and evaporation of water on the body surface. Like to live in withered branches and rotten leaves and damp shaded places, male and female individuals chase and look for nesting sites together, spawn and reproduce, females become queens, males become queens, the first batch of breeding ants are workers, and soldiers appear when the population is slightly larger. The queen ant is engaged in breeding, the worker ant is engaged in the work of breeders and nests, and the soldier ant is engaged in defending the enemy. Termites are afraid of cold and like warmth.

Prevention and cure method

The main results are as follows: (1) during cultivation, strictly select the discharge site of sectional trees, keep away from the places of ant nests, decaying branches and decaying materials, remove the withered trees and stumps around the cultivation site, and dig out the roots so as to prevent termites from being attracted and reduce the source of ants.

(2) dig ditches with a width of 40 cm and a depth of 50 cm around the site and release water into the ditch to prevent termites from entering the cultivation site.

(3) the section of wood is arranged in the shape of "well", and the lowest mushroom wood is covered with four stones, and termite-killing medicine is scattered around the stone to prevent termites from climbing up the wood.

(4) Chemical control uses 80% arsenite plus 15% salicylic acid and 5% ferric chloride to spray poison on ant nest and ant road, which can not be directly used on wood section, and the agent is highly toxic to human beings and animals.

Commonly used medicament arsenite, salicylic acid, ferric chloride.
