Location selection:
1. The place should be ventilated and sunny. The front and back of the house, idle yards and plots can be used.
2. Locust breeding greenhouses are generally constructed in a ventilated and sunny place, and about 10 centimeters above the ground to help drain water.
The simplest construction method of locust cultivation is to use two thick slices and add a column in the middle. This construction method is relatively simple with low cost and convenient to cover plastic sheets.
If conditions permit, vegetable greenhouses can also be used. This kind of greenhouses has a relatively high cost, but good thermal performance, which can effectively prevent locust from freezing to death.
Greenhouses area setting:
1, the area of the shed depends on the number of locusts, generally every square meter can support 600-800 adults.
Initially, 10,000 locusts can be raised for 15 square meters.
2. The soil in the locust breeding greenhouses should be sandy loam which is not easy to agglomerate, so as to facilitate the collection of locust eggs.
In the locust cultivation greenhouse, some wheat or corn can be planted for locust consumption.
Farming greenhouses to set up a pull lock, to prevent the escape of locusts.
Greenhouses construction and materials:
Raising locusts and building shelters usually use economic materials such as wooden sticks, gauze, bamboo sticks and bamboo chips.
We can also use old vegetable greenhouses and idle houses to build arched greenhouses, which have strong wind resistance and simple structure. The scale of the greenhouses can be adjusted to local conditions. The length of the greenhouses is generally not more than 15 meters, the width is not more than 6 meters, and the height is 2 meters, so as to feed grass, clear the greenhouses and catch locusts.
Construction, the interval of 1 m in 2 root bamboo vaulted in turn, with a wooden stick, bamboo and other materials to be joined together to form framework, the use of cotton gauze in a tent like mosquito net, hang on the scaffolding, bottom buried in the ground, leaving the door, the door on the install zip, adhesive tape, etc., the device is in order not to let the locusts run out and into the tent to feeding and management.
