Xilin is everyone's home, if the prairie can't be saved, the big guy will also be hungry, so as soon as he heard the leader say this, the people below responded, "Leader, if you have any tricks, say it quickly, we will definitely support it!" ”

The leader was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't kill the locusts by himself, so everyone had to cooperate in this matter.

"Comrade Zhuo Yan of the Xiliuying Animal Husbandry Station, last year he developed a method of using herding chickens to control insect pests, and now the chickens in Xiliuying have become a scale, I mean release all these chickens and let them fight the first battle against locusts first!" The leader stood on the stage and made an impassioned speech.

If you want to fight the first battle against the locusts, then the battlefield can no longer be the Xiliu Battalion, but at the westernmost Kazikou of Xilin Town.

The terrain of Kazikou is wide, the pasture grass is fertile, it is the first stop bordering the western region, the locusts fly and stop at any time, they come from the west, they must pass through Kazikou first.

Village Chief Zhuo was the first to stand up and say, "No problem, I'll go back and tell my daughter, and let her pull all the chickens to the mouth of the card and wait when the time comes!" ”

It's natural for chickens to eat insects, so don't you just change places to eat insects? Chickens are not afraid, what is there to be afraid of Village Chief Zhuo?

Seeing that the village chief Zhuo bravely responded to the battle, the village chiefs of other villages couldn't sit still, "There are a thousand chickens in our village!" ”

"There can be 800 chickens in our village!"

……

The big guys are all village heads, and no one can be worse than the other, and for a while, people have written war letters one after another, ready to meet the challenge of locusts.

Because there are many villages near Xilin Town, everyone quickly discussed and found a way to transport these chickens over, so that it is easy to recycle and manage after the chickens are released.

Originally, the leader meant to leave some more herding chickens in each village to block them in situ, but the village chief Zhuo saw Zhuo Yan's herding chickens and said that these chicken legs have big wings and fly faster than locusts, so they should be placed at the mouth of the card, so that as long as the locusts run, these chickens can also chase after them.

For herders, locusts are food, and when dinner is gone, can they not chase after it?

Hearing what Village Chief Zhuo said, the village chiefs of other villages also felt that it was very reasonable, anyway, what they raised in their hands was chickens, could chickens be worse than locusts?

Although it is predicted that the locusts will still be two days away from Xilin Town, this thing has wings, and no one can say exactly when they will arrive, maybe they will be able to fly over overnight as soon as they are happy.

Therefore, this meeting did not delay for too long, and soon the leaders assigned the task, and the village chiefs hurriedly mobilized the villagers and prepared the chickens to meet the enemy.

Zhuo's mother heard the news, and she was even more excited than Zhuo Yan, because she was feeding these chickens, and she was fat and strong this winter, and she was beating in the chicken shed all day long, and she was worried when she saw it, and Zhuo's mother also felt that it was time to let these little guys out for activities.

After a winter of breeding, how many of these chickens are there now?

When the chickens were out of the cage, Zhuo Qing took a notebook and a pencil and counted them on the side.

But the chickens are not so obedient, they will not come out of the cage one by one, let you count them well, often two or three squeezed next to each other and come out, so although Zhuo Qing's eyes are good and quick to react, when the count reaches five hundred, it is still a little confused.

Zhuo Qing scratched his head, "Third sister, I can only tell you that there are more than five hundred chickens in this flock now!" ”

Zhuo Yan nodded, "Okay, it's enough to know this, your second brother and I will send them to the Kazikou!" ”

Zhuo Han is about to start school, but he doesn't care about the past two days, he also wants to go with Zhuo Yan.

The use of chickens to kill locusts is one of the biological insect control methods, and this insect control method is a relatively mild insect control method.

So Zhuo Yan wasn't sure if the big guy's chickens could stop the locust brigade.

But when it comes, no matter what method they do, they have to try their best, and they can't sit still and let the locusts gnaw away everyone's grassland, right?

With this in mind, the villagers of various villages drove their chickens to the battlefield in donkey carts and ox carts, and some families even brought chicken dogs.

The cat on the edge of the Zhuo family's hot kang has been on the side of the cat for a winter, the shepherd dog Jinbao has grown up, this guy is more than one meter long, the golden hair is five or six fingers long, the big black eyes and wide mouth, the appearance is dignified, a talent, following the side of the ox cart of Zhuo Yan's family, attracting everyone's attention, it can be regarded as the most beautiful dog in Xilin Town.

Probably because the body has grown up, Jinbao's little courage has also grown up a little, and he can finally deter the herding chickens, instead of being chased and pecked by the herding chickens.

Chu Xingchen was incorporated into the pest control leading group of Xilin Town, and he also had to go to Kazikou, this time, the husband and wife could be regarded as going out together.

Because Chu Xingchen and Zhuo Yan had already held a wedding, Zhuo Han did not have a hard time with Chu Xingchen as before, but took over Chu Xingchen's horse very cooperatively, and let Chu Xingchen and Zhuo Yan drive the ox cart to talk together.

"What if the herding doesn't work?" Zhuo Yan also believes in the strength of his own chickens, these guys have eaten thousands of catties of feed in winter, I don't know if it is okay to eat insects, anyway, they are good at eating.

But the number of locusts is too large, otherwise it would not be called a locust plague.

"I believe that they will be able to do it, the people of the grasslands in front of them are unprepared, they all use artificial insect extermination, and they are all rewarding," Chu Xingchen smiled and comforted Zhuo Yan, he had already learned about the battle situation in other regions.

"That's good!" Zhuo Yan's black eyes were shining, she knew the importance of stopping locusts this time, if she could succeed in stopping locusts this time, then her biological insect extermination method would definitely be able to be widely promoted across the country.

As far as the current technology is concerned, biological pest control methods are much better than other pest control methods, first of all, this pest control method will not cause environmental pollution.

As far as Zhuo Yan knows, some grasslands really can't do anything with locusts, so they spray a large area to kill locusts.

However, the locusts seem to be very dense, in fact, they are quite scattered when they fly, and a large area of drugs is sprayed down, and the killing effect on the locusts is limited, the point is that these drugs are very toxic, difficult to decompose, and attach to the grass, and the grass becomes a poisonous weed.

Such a grassland, which has been baptized by locusts and sprayed with poison, can no longer graze cattle and sheep.

The chicken insect control is to really protect the grass, and the chicken leaves a lot of chicken manure where the chickens pass, which can also fertilize the land.

After a day's trek, in the evening, all the villages sent the chickens to Kazikou.

As the name suggests, with hillsides on both sides and a flat prairie in the middle, it is like a clip, and the big guys line up in a line in this area, and build a temporary fence for their chickens, so that they can stay in the open air first.
