Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of termite cultivation, and particularly relates to a method for artificially collecting alates of cultivated termites. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cultivated termites are important ecological engineers in the subtropical and tropical regions of Asia and Africa, and are important soil animals that play a key role in stabilizing the ecological system of the distribution area. The mass alate behavior of the termites provides a rich source of nitrogen nutrients in the form of prey and dead carcasses for the environment, including a rich source of food for other predatory animals, including birds, predatory ants, bats and other ant-eating animals. The nitrogen nutrients produced by the decomposition of dead termite adults provide fertilizer for various shallow-rooted plants and seedlings. However, in recent years, with the changes in the environment and the excessive use of agricultural chemicals, the number of cultivated termite nests has been rapidly decreasing year by year, affecting the stability and safety of the agroforestry ecosystem.

[0003] In order to protect and develop the ecological service function of cultivated termites, the efficient cultivation of cultivated termites has been achieved through research and development, and the production technology of termite seedlings is a key link in achieving efficient cultivation. The alate female and male adults of termites are the future queen and king of the termite nest, and need to survive in the nest for decades to maintain the reproductive and productive capacity of the nest. Under natural conditions, although the alate adults of termites have a large amount of alates, they usually only fly out of the nest as a whole under specific meteorological conditions, which makes the time window for natural utilization narrow, only a few hours, and it is not possible to efficiently and completely collect and utilize them naturally. The alate adults that fly out of the nest are often preyed upon by natural enemies and infected with pathogenic microorganisms, and are not suitable for the production of termite insect protein, let alone the production of termite seedlings. The reproductive success rate of alate adults that fly out of the nest is extremely low, usually around one in ten thousand, and is not suitable for the protection and breeding of cultivated termite nests.

[0004] In view of the above, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for artificially collecting alate adults of cultivated termites. The present application realizes the safe, efficient and clean collection of various types of alate adults of cultivated termites through the combination of termite alate behavior and microenvironment ecology.

[0018] When the rearing termites swarm during the day, a collection net is set on the top of the heat preservation shed to collect the swarming adults by taking advantage of the habit of the adults flying upward toward the light.

[0019] Preferably, in step (d), a disinfectant is also sprayed on the entire swarming area.

[0077] In Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, in April, one month before the branch flying period, choose an area with abundant termite nests, remove the surface soil, and find 2-5m 2 A 1.0-meter-long water tank is dug on the top of the 0.5-meter-high slope, and 0.1 tons of water are injected into the tank by spraying water, soaking an area of 2m 2 When the termite activity begins to appear in the original non-termite activity branch hole and the branch hole is built, a 1-meter-high temperature shed is built with a translucent shed cloth, covering the entire branch hole area. When the termite begins to open the top of the branch hole, 0.05% sodium hypochlorite disinfectant is sprayed in the entire branch hole area. A 25cm long and 35cm wide collection tray is buried, and a 15W 395nm LED purple light lamp is installed above the tray. The light can directly irradiate the collection tray. A paper crawling belt is installed at the edge of the collection tray. The collection tray and the crawling belt are sprayed with the aforementioned disinfectant. When the termite completely opens the branch hole and the worker and soldier ants appear, start spraying water to simulate light rain for 5-30 minutes. When the adult termites appear and flow out of the branch hole, stop spraying water and turn on the purple light to start collecting artificially promoted termites. A total of 10 nests of branch holes are treated, and 0.01-0.2kg of adult termites are obtained per nest, which is 1-30 days earlier than the natural branch flying period, and 100% of the artificial promotion is achieved in sunny days without rain. The collection period is 30 days, and the infection rate of the seedling production is less than 1%.
