How are cochineals raised, and how are cochineals removed?

There are two types of cochineal culture: outdoor culture and indoor culture

1.Outdoor rearing: Cacti can be grown outdoors, inoculated with cochineal on the cactus, and propagated onto the cactus to allow it to absorb nutrients.

However, because it is outdoors and affected by external factors, the efficiency of reproduction is generally not high, but its advantage is that it can maximize the economic value of cacti and cochineal.

2.Breeding is carried out indoors. He plucked the stems and leaves of the cactus and planted them in the room with cochineal seeds. This process has the effect of avoiding rainwater, temperature, humidity, light, insect control and other factors, and is an ideal breeding method for cultivating cochineal.

Cochineal can be reared by both outdoor stocking and indoor breeding.

1. Outdoor stocking.

Cacti can be planted in outdoor fields first, and then cochineal can be inoculated directly on the cactus, and it can be multiplied on the cactus, so that it can parasitize and absorb nutrients for growth and development.

2.Indoor breeding.

The stems of the cactus were retrieved back indoors, and cochineal inoculation was carried out indoors.

What is a cochineal:Cochineal is a cochineal of the family Homoptera. This group of animals is native to Mexico and Central America, and the female adult is ovate, segmented, antennae developed, and has coarse and blunt hairs; eyes prominent, feet moderately coarse, short, claws without small teeth, tarsal crown hairs and claw crown hairs elongated; The valve is horn-shaped, and the development period of each insect state shortens with the increase of temperature, and the development rate increases with the increase of temperature.

Summary. First of all, there is the problem of technology, if the technology is not mature, do not breed. In one is the problem of sales, most of us currently rely on foreign imports, so we must determine the domestic sales before breeding, so that there is no phenomenon that things can not be sold.

In addition, cochineal and cacti have a symbiotic relationship, so we will have high requirements for the quality of cacti. At present, there are few domestic farmers who can learn from the experience is not too much, which brings difficulties to the breeding of cochineal.

Can you elaborate on that a little bit more?

First of all, it is the problem of the tour technology, if the technology is not mature, do not breed. In one is the problem of sales, most of us currently rely on foreign imports, so we must determine the domestic sales before breeding, so that there is no phenomenon that things can not be sold. There is also a symbiotic relationship between cochineal and cactus, so we will have high requirements for the quality of cacti.

At present, there are few domestic farmers who can learn from the experience of Shen Stupid eggplant, which brings difficulties to the cultivation of cochineal.

Cochineal has requirements for temperature and light. If the ambient temperature is below 15 and above 38 base, it is easy to die in large quantities. In addition, the growth and development of cochineal was the best under the condition of 6 hours of staring light, and more or less than this light range would lead to the growth and growth of cochineal.

That's the technical problem that needs to be solved.

Summary. Mix liquor with water in a ratio of 1:2. When treating insects, water the surface layer of the potting soil thoroughly. It can be watered once in April, and then every half a month or so, and it is effective for 4 consecutive times;

Use 50 ml of vinegar (rice vinegar), soak a small cotton ball in vinegar, and gently rub it on the stems and leaves of the damaged flowers and trees with a wet cotton ball to wipe off and kill the cochineal;

Gently and repeatedly wiping the diseased plant with sprinkler sperm can get rid of the cochineal, and it can be removed very cleanly and thoroughly;

Press with diesel, laundry detergent, water.

The ratio of 10::6 is adjusted into the mother liquor, at this time the mother liquor contains 60%, milk-like, diluted with water containing 30% of the oil solution, and carefully sprayed on the cochineal on Milan, kumquat and cycad. A week later, rouge.

How to get rid of cochineal?

Hello, I am inquiring for you here, please wait a while, I will reply to you immediately

After a week of nucleus, rouge.

Hello dear, it is a pleasure to serve you. Cochineal breeding 100 square meters of investment to about 2000. Cochineal is recommended to be cultivated indoors, which requires the construction of standard sheds for breeding.

The construction area of a standard shed is 100 square meters, and the production shed is an investment and many years of income; The investment in facilities and management is about 20,000 yuan. The average breeding cycle of cochineal is 60 days, 3 to 5 times a year, the standard shed can produce 75 kg of female worms per year, according to the current market price of 1,200 yuan kg, the income can reach 90,000 yuan. According to each cactus can produce 7 grams of dry cochineal, 75 kg requires 10,000 edible cacti.

Edible cactus yuan - about 3 yuan a piece, about 20,000 yuan, insect seeds in 500g need 1,330 yuan. In summary, each ridge can earn more than 40,000 yuan per year Thank you for your patience, I hope mine can help you. I wish you a happy life.

If you are satisfied, please give me a thumbs up [love] [love] [coffee] [coffee].

Cochineal is an economic insect that can be legally farmed and is not illegal.

As an important economic insect, in order to obtain high economic benefits, breeding technology is very important. 1. Breeding method: outdoor stocking.

That is, cacti are planted in the field, and cochineal is directly inoculated for multiplication, and harvested after the worms are mature. This method is greatly affected by the outside world, and the yield of cochineal is not high, the harvest is inconvenient, and the benefit is low. Indoor breeding.

The cactus stems are retrieved, inoculated with cochineal, and cultivated indoors. The advantages of this method are that it can avoid rainwater, temperature, humidity and light can be controlled, and it is more convenient to release and collect insects, which is an ideal breeding method for cochineal cultivation.

2. Inoculation method: Rely on the connection. The cactus node that has been parasitic with cochineal is close to the transferred stem node, and the produced 1st instar nymph naturally crawls to the transferred stem node to achieve transfer.

This method is labor-intensive, and the distribution of transferred nymphs is uneven, which is not suitable for large-scale breeding. Direct transfer. After collecting the 1st instar nymph with a soft bristle brush, transfer it directly to the host.

This method has the advantages of neat development of insect body and convenient harvesting of adult worms. Triangle paper bag transfer. Each paper bag collects 10 female adults who have lost sugar (the sugar solution secreted by the tail of the female adult) and fixes them on the transferred stem nodes with a pin, and the produced 1st instar nymphs can crawl naturally and parasitize.

This method is suitable for large-scale breeding.
