In fact, a lot of information is displayed, the impact of Grassy citrus planting there are many factors, pest Huanglong disease, parasitic nematodes, diseases such as black spot as many as a dozen, interviews with seniors and farmers for the current understanding of the mouth, there is a method of debugging after , the most troubling question is -
Beetles
Mr. Lin Zaixian
Tankan biggest predators are "beetles", adult beetles will lay their eggs in the bottom of the roots, until the eggs become larvae of beetles, very powerful, will eat up all the trunk center, if beside another on the roots will see a bunch of wood that beetle larvae eat eggs because the beetles, so many Tankan will wither away because of this.
Wire before people will take to dig beetles larvae called "catch citrus pest" after arrested, not discarded, but the bubble in the bottle raw, protein supplement, when lack of supplies, this is a very valuable tonic , but also farmers an additional income. Beetles is the main scourge, the whole tree will die.
Datun VillageMr.Zhant
Caught between May beetles, not previously pesticides, see rotten rotten bark, they should pay attention, you can catch up when the tonic, or salt to children to eat pickled appetizer, but not so "orange worm." more, no larvae caught, no rumors say can sell.
Monkey
Mr. Chen Shuizhen
I present difficulties are monkeys, a few days before going Farmers apply cage task, the monkeys because very smart, very difficult to grasp, previously used many ways, such as: Put a radio talk show has been put, A few days ago is valid, but after a few days, the monkeys found, and will continue to eat. Design point has only incense plus large firecrackers, time lag will put a firecracker, but a long time, the monkeys also found to be false, then the way with a dog, tied with a long wire, the dog will run to go, but after a few days, the monkeys will still eat, eat dogs fail to recover the place. Now think of a better way, but first try to apply the cage. Here a "monkey" will be the Monkey King with a large group of family, there are now the largest group of a dozen, there are seven, eight, because the Monkey King was replaced by another, so now there is just a big, big monkey Wang was driven out of their own a wandering in the orchard, but less likely to attack people, will get to see rockets sometimes scare it, but after a while will come back.
Mrs. Huang
This year may receive about one or two extremely heavy selling, but because the monkeys will come to steal, so wait to harvest, how to see the rest.
Boar
Quanyuan Farm
They ate ten thousand kilos last year, when some of the hill walk, you will see the floor of the Tankan eat wild boar skin. If the encounter wild boar in the mountains, it belongs to wild animals, do not scream, do not flee, but slowly back, do not disturb wild boar, etc. retreated to a distance, and then get out.
Mrs. Wu
grass land have little capers, can be harvested this year about one thousand kilos of it! But recently there are wild boars eat, so the harvest will be less.
Squirrels
Datun Village Lin
mountain monkeys, wild boar, squirrels will eat the fruit, but because it belongs to the National Park, government regulations can not catch, have invited us to a meeting before, please do not catch us, but so much is eaten oranges, spent so much money and effort kind of orange, no orange can sell, and no one can compensate us. Is also useful to make a trap to catch the wire, there grabbed the boar, but the monkeys are too smart, would own the wire to unlock, so are not caught. Using nets to catch the squirrel, had been five or six pounds Tankan forty-five squirrels eat one day, because the orange squirrel will be forced off, but no hands can take, it will fall to the ground, it can not eat, will continue to pick, so the great loss.
Drosophila
Mr. Lin Zaixian
There are some bacteria or insects, so eat sick or ugly black fruit, the price to sell well, fruit flies bite had become ill, will also affect the harvest. But when the fruit is ripe, wind or too ripe orange tree orange fall called ~Kom feet, before poor families buy cheap, ( eat the rich relatively fresh.
