How to prevent the occurrence of small silkworms, "Fusangyi" silkworms and lost silkworms
The level of silkworm cocoon yield is not only related to the weight of a single cocoon, but also depends to a large extent on the number of silkworms per sheet of eggs. Therefore, effective measures should be taken during rearing to prevent the occurrence of small silkworms, "Fusangyi" silkworms and lost silkworms. The specific measures are as follows: 1. Carefully select good leaves. For collecting newly hatched silkworms and for the leaves used for 1st to 2nd instar silkworms, choose mulberry leaves that are suitably mature but on the tender side, fresh in leaf quality, and with a moisture content of no less than 75%. Avoid using old leaves and immature leaves, otherwise small silkworms are easily formed. During the middle feeding stage and the peak feeding stage, fresh and relatively tender mulberry leaves should also be chosen to feed the silkworms. 2. Suitable temperature and humidity. The optimum room temperature for 1st to 2nd instar silkworms

Occurrence Patterns and Control Techniques of Jujube Iron-Skin Disease
Jujube iron-skin disease, also known as fruit-shrinking disease and black rot, commonly called wu zhuo, wu liao tou, dry waist, black waist, iron scorch, fire head, etc., is a fruit disease that seriously harms jujube trees. Since the early 1980s, the damage from this disease has become increasingly severe. It begins around the coloring stage, develops rapidly and in concentrated fashion, and often breaks out in epidemics. It occurs in many jujube-producing areas including Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi and Sichuan. In normal years the disease causes yield losses of 20%-50%, and in severe years losses reach 70%-80%, or even

Occurrence Patterns and Control Methods of the Pear Buprestid Beetle
The pear buprestid beetle begins eclosing in late April, and in early to mid-May the adults chew an oval-round hole to emerge. After emerging, the adults feed on leaves during the day, rest quietly on the leaves in the morning and evening, and when startled have the habit of dropping to the ground and feigning death. About 10 days after emergence and activity, the adults begin to lay eggs; before laying, they crawl along the trunk and insert their ovipositors into rough, raised cracks in the bark to lay eggs, mostly at the fork junctions of branches and trunks that are 2 years old or older, laying 2-3 eggs per site, with each female able to lay 20-40 eggs. Mid to late May is the peak egg-laying period, and early June is the peak hatching period. After hatching, the larvae first bore into the cortex

How to prevent and control barley yellow leaf disease? Detailed explanation of occurrence and control measures
In recent years, barley yellow leaf disease has become increasingly serious in the northern Jiangsu region, often leading to reduced yield and quality, and in some areas even severe seedling death, forcing plowing and replanting. From 1992 to 1995, the author conducted organized surveys of 1466.7-1866.7 hectares of two-row barley planted in the coastal reclamation area of northern Jiangsu and carried out trials of planting disease-resistant varieties, analyzing the relationship between the occurrence and spread of yellow leaf disease and factors such as variety, sowing date, tillage and cultivation, and climate. The report is as follows: 1 Main factors affecting the occurrence of barley yellow leaf disease

How to control broad mites in greenhouses and sheds? Understanding the occurrence pattern is key
In greenhouse fruit and vegetable production, curled and shrunken growing points of plants, deformed and cracked fruits are often seen, causing serious losses to production. Because the temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse are very suitable for the growth and reproduction of broad mites, and fruit vegetables are their main targets, and the mites are extremely small and invisible to people, timely control is impossible. Therefore, in recent years, the area of occurrence and damage has been growing larger and larger, which should attract great attention from producers. Broad mites belong to the class Arachnida, order Acariformes, family Tarsonemidae, and are harmful microscopic pests. They mainly damage cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes among greenhouse vegetables.

What are the occurrence patterns of the privet hawk moth (Clanis bilineata)?
Occurrence patterns of the privet hawk moth (Clanis bilineata): In Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, 1 generation occurs per year, and the mature larvae burrow into the soil at a depth of 10 to 15 cm to overwinter. In early to mid-June of the following year, pupation begins. The pupal stage lasts 10 to 15 days. In early to mid-July, adults emerge, with mid-month being the peak emergence period. During the day, adults rest quietly among branches and leaves, and begin activity in the evening; adults are phototactic. Generally, egg laying begins 3 hours after mating, with eggs mostly laid on the underside of leaves and a few on the upper side. Each female lays an average of about 350 eggs. Adults live 7 to 10

What are the occurrence patterns of the black-spotted inchworm on black locust
Occurrence patterns of the black-spotted inchworm on black locust: it has 4 generations a year and overwinters as pupae in the surface soil. In early April of the following year, eclosion begins, followed by mating and egg laying; the egg stage lasts 15 days, and the larval stage about 25 days. In early May, the larvae begin to enter the soil to pupate; the pupal stage lasts about 10 days, after which the first-generation adults emerge, with an adult lifespan of about 5 days. Second-generation adults appear in early to mid-July. Third-generation adults appear in mid-to-late August, and the larvae of the last generation cause damage until mid-September, after which they mature, enter the soil, and pupate to overwinter. Eggs are laid in the cracks of rough bark below 2 m on the tree trunk base, piled into masses and covered with gray down. Newly hatched

What are the occurrence patterns of the black locust aphid?
Occurrence patterns of the black locust aphid: it produces more than 20 generations a year, overwintering as wingless solitary aphids, nymphs, or a small number of eggs on the roots, stems, and leaves of legumes such as wild alfalfa; in March and April of the following year it reproduces on the overwintering host, and in late April winged parthenogenetic females are produced and migrate to legumes such as black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and Chinese scholartree (Sophora japonica) where they cause damage. Damage occurs throughout the year, with the heaviest damage at the early flowering stage of black locust; by October winged aphids again migrate to the host to reproduce, cause damage, and overwinter. The most suitable temperature for aphid reproduction is 19 to 22 degrees Celsius, with relative humidity of 65% to 70%; when the temperature is below

Rice stem borers in our county include the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas), the striped stem borer (Chilo suppressalis), and the giant stem borer (Sesamia inferens). In the riverside area, 3 generations occur per year; in the mid-mountain area, 2 generations occur per year. At present, the first generation in the riverside area has ended, and the second generation is beginning to occur successively. According to observations at our station's Fengchi pest and disease monitoring point, this year's second-generation moth flight began on June 10, 1 day earlier than last year and 2 days later than normal years, with the peak day on June 18, 1 day later than last year and 8 days earlier than the historical average; by June 25, a cumulative total of 234 moths had been trapped, with the yellow stem borer, striped stem borer, and giant stem borer accounting for 94.9

Occurrence Patterns and Control Methods of the Euonymus Leafroller Moth
The Euonymus leafroller moth belongs to the order Lepidoptera, family Zygaenidae. Its larvae damage the tender leaves and shoots of host plants, feeding on the foliage; in severe cases they strip the branches bare, or even cause entire stands to wither and die. In the Jining region, the Euonymus leafroller moth has one generation per year and overwinters as eggs on the host's branches and shoot tips. The overwintering eggs mostly hatch in mid-to-late March; in sheltered, sunny spots they can hatch 5-7 days earlier, and the hatching peak generally occurs around March 20. A single egg mass can finish hatching in 2-3 days, which coincides with the emergence of new leaves on the Euonymus. From late April to early May, the mature lar
