CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many trees can be planted per acre to breed golden cicadas (how many golden cicadas can be planted per acre)

The planting amount of 1-3 years old willow is about 35-40 per acre, the planting amount of 4-6 years old willow is about 25-35 per acre, and the planting amount of 7-8 years old willow is about 20-30 per acre. The most suitable tree species for breeding cicadas is willow, followed by poplar. These two trees grow very fast and have a high survival rate. The best planting time for breeding cicada trees is about after spring, especially evergreen trees.

1. How many willow trees should be planted per acre to raise cicadas?

1. The planting amount of 1-3 year old willows is about 35-40 per mu, the planting amount of 4-6 year old willows is about 25-35 per mu, and the planting amount of 7-8 year old willows is about 20-30 per mu. The food source of the cicada is mainly the sap of the parasitic tree, such as the sap of young branches and roots. In addition, after the cicada lays eggs on the branches, the egg-laying parts will lose water and wither, which is very harmful to the trees. Therefore, the cicada has very special requirements for parasitic trees. The trees suitable for it must meet the standards of well-developed root systems, lush branches, and more sap.

2. The most suitable tree species for breeding cicadas is willow, followed by poplar, because these two trees grow fast and have a high survival rate after planting. Willow is drought-resistant and waterlogged, has many branches, and a particularly developed root system. It is a very suitable tree species for breeding cicadas. The cicadas bred by willow are of uniform size and firm meat, and are very popular in the market. In addition, willow has a long growth period and can breed cicadas at one time.

3. The best time to plant golden cicada trees is generally after spring, especially for evergreen trees. Some deciduous trees can be planted after they shed their leaves in autumn, but they must be kept warm. Trees must not be planted in summer. Summer is the peak growth season, the weather is hot, and the evaporation is large. When planting trees, the roots will be injured, causing the trees to dehydrate and die.

2. How are cicadas planted in the ground?

1. Select the plot

(1) Cicadas prefer to hang out on fruit trees because these trees are rich in sap that can provide them with nutrition.

(2) When planting cicadas, be sure to choose an orchard with fertile soil and flat ground, and there should not be too much water in the soil.

2. Bury the larvae

(1) First, place the cicada egg sticks in an incubator. The incubator must maintain a constant temperature and the cicada larvae will hatch after about 15 days.

(2) When the larval hatching rate reaches 20%, it can be buried in the soil.

3. Planting egg sticks

(1) After the cicada larvae are buried in the soil, a trench about 50 cm deep must be dug around the fruit tree, and then cicada egg sticks must be planted in the trench.

(2) The distance between plants is mainly 1 meter, and drainage devices are installed at the end.

4. Notes

(1) When breeding cicadas, protective measures must be taken to prevent natural enemies such as ants and mice from harming the cicadas.

(2) After two years of breeding, be sure to wrap tape around the fruit trees to prevent them from climbing high.
