Maggot is an English term meaning larva. Unlike the worms that live on rotten meat, this worm lives on oil palm cake. Therefore, the development of worms has been widely tested around oil palm plantation centers.

The development of the worm itself was carried out with the help of a flower fly known as the “Black Soldier” (Hermetia illucens). This black fly is different from other flies that are known to be dirty. This type of fly is a flower fly that has the nature of sucking nectar from flowers and consuming coconut cake in groups.

These animals can be found in decomposing organic matter such as carrion, fruits, damaged vegetables or others. If intact, also read about: How to kill cattle with worms on a large scale

This worm has a high protein content which is around 43% and when it is made into food in the form of pellets, the protein content is around 30%-40%. Due to the high protein content, many people make this cattle worm to feed fish. The next is 10 ways to grow maggots with tofu feces which can be used as fish feed.

1. Preparation of Tools and Materials

You just need a large bucket or tub that is often used for household appliances like washing and drying clothes. Other materials are plastic, rope, and also the main medium, namely tofu feces. Also read about: how to breed geckos

First you need to make a few small holes in the bucket only 1-2 cm in size. Fit the holes to each other, not too far apart and not too close. Thoroughly wash the bucket or tub that will be used later after you poke holes in it regularly. Also read about: how to breed rangrang kroto

Use a tall tub for more and maximum yields, because the worms will only stick to the surface. Rinse the bucket or tub with hot water to clean it of various types of bacteria. Then prepare various other materials, such as ropes and tofu dregs. The rope is used to hang the bucket that is the container for the worms. This is done so that it can attract flies and make the breeding process easier. Also read about: obstacles to breeding kroto

2. Stay away from distractions

The bucket or tub that you make as a container for worm production will certainly attract various disturbances that can harm this farming business. The container will attract raccoons, foxes, and dogs. They will be more interested in disturbing the container. Therefore, at least make a security fence or place it in a closed or open room away from interference.

3. Fly breeding

Of course, this is quite a “disruptive” series of processes in which we deliberately breed fly larvae on mangoes for cultivation. There must be a spawner to produce seeds, where here the spawner is in the form of flies. The flies were allowed to swarm around the leftover tofu that was deliberately placed in a container that was left hanging so that the larvae could grow there.

4. How to attract flies

The tofu grounds you use can be mixed a bit with salted fish to make the aroma more pungent and easier to attract flies to pick. Put it in the open bucket. Flies that congregate will lay eggs in the appropriate place.

So with this container it will be easier for them to lay eggs, in a few days the eggs will turn into larvae. And this is where you can see the mangoes start to appear and will be produced in a matter of days.

5. Harvest mango

Usually, after laying the eggs, they will hatch into larvae 6-7 days later. And after 7 days, the handle will begin to appear. Once seen, you can immediately harvest it. It will usually take up to 2 weeks from the start of the tool making process to harvest. Harvesting will usually be done manually using a mango trap to make it easier.

6. How to reduce odor

As for the reduction of odors, you can do it by classifying the waste that is used in the cultivation of this mango. Organic waste will certainly break down faster because this is the primary medium in mangosteen production. However, after larval growth occurs, you can immediately clean and harvest the mango.

7. Some common obstacles experienced in large numbers

If you do large-scale production, then of course some common problems are faced, such as:

• There is an unpleasant odor that will be caused by the water in the container of mangoes.
• The existence of diseases that can be caused by contamination from the many flies that come and fly around the mango production site.
• Due to overlapping and non-uniform mango sizes, this will make it a bit difficult to harvest.
• If it is stored in fresh form, it cannot be stored for a long time.

8. Add probiotic formula

The aroma, as well as the contamination that occurs, can be overcome by using a probiotic formula that can eliminate odors that are used to remove odors from the organic materials used to make mango production. However, if the odor is reduced, the flies will also decrease and the production will not be optimal.

9. Use a compost mix

To attract more flies, fish with a compost mix that has a more pungent odor and will make it easier to provoke flies. Make a pond or tub filled with manure or various waters that have a strong odor that will attract more flies to lay eggs there.

10. Prevent disease germs

Using carcasses will make it easier to attract many flies to lay eggs. However, if you don’t like things that have a strong smell, this is not the recommended method because it can also cause various germs. However, you can anticipate more frequently and more thoroughly in cleaning the rest.

With the various solutions and techniques above, you can grow mangoes or worms on a small or large scale, with only small and minimal capital. With easy, easy-to-find ingredients and growing techniques that are not hard to do.

To make it more optimal, it applies various tricks to more easily attract flies to come and lay their eggs to produce many larvae which can later become studs. Until later you can get abundant and more and maximum results.
