How to breed cicadas?

Cicada breeding method:

1. Select the breeding site

Golden cicadas are mainly bred under forests. Their growth needs can be met under various fruit trees and timber trees. Generally, fruit trees and other trees over three years old can be used as breeding bases for golden cicadas.

2. Egg collection

Egg collection is after the cicadas lay eggs in autumn, usually around July of the lunar calendar.

3. Post-harvest processing

After collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the front of the dry leaves, cut off the two ends, bundle thirty branches into a bundle, spread a layer of sand at the bottom of a large washing basin, and put the bundled branches upright in the basin. Keep the temperature between 28 and 34 degrees Celsius and keep the humidity moist. Spray it when it is dry. Use a sprayer to spray the branches until they are thoroughly wet.

4. Incubation

The larvae will hatch in about 15 days. During the hatching period, the hatching status of the cicada eggs should be checked continuously. When a small number of cicada larvae are found to be active, the branches can be placed in the breeding site with fine sand for planting.

5. Planting seeds

Dig the pit into a strip, with the depth mainly reaching the hairy roots, and place the branches with hatched larvae into the pit.

6. Harvest

Wrap a circle of transparent tape around the tree at a height of one meter to prevent the cicada from climbing up and metamorphosing. The cicada will become an adult 15 to 18 months after sowing.

How to breed cicadas?

1. Breeding base

Golden cicadas are mainly cultivated under forests, and various fruit trees and wood can meet their growth needs. Generally, fruit trees and other trees over three years old can be used as breeding grounds for golden cicadas, and this kind of wood has more juice and is very suitable.

2. Collect Eggs

After collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dead leaves, cut off the two ends, bundle 30 branches into a bundle, spread a layer of sand at the bottom of a large washing basin, put the bundled branches upright in the basin, keep the temperature at 28-34 degrees Celsius, and the humidity at 60%. Spray it again when it is dry, and use a sprayer to spray the branches until they are wet.

3. Incubation

After about fifteen days, the larvae will hatch. During the hatching period, the cicada eggs should be randomly selected. If a small number of cicada larvae are found to be active, branches and fine sand can be placed at the breeding site and covered with soil.

4. Breeding environment

In the process of breeding cicadas, it is necessary to maintain appropriate temperature and humidity, especially in the hot summer. The cicada molts should be ventilated and moisturized to prevent cracking. In winter, smoke should be burned in the garden to prevent freezing.

Cicada breeding technology Cicada is an oviparous and underground incubated medicinal material with extremely high medicinal value. It has the effects of clearing blood and removing blood stasis, health care, and has a certain therapeutic effect on hypertension. However, the existing cicada has the disadvantages of long growth cycle, low survival rate, and is not suitable for collection. After several years of research and experiments, our company has summarized a set of cicada breeding technology based on the growth habits of cicada.

1. Egg collection: Egg collection is done after the cicada lays eggs in autumn, usually around the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The cicada uses the small thorns on its tail to pierce the tender branches of one year old trees and lay eggs in the branches, mostly on juicy branches such as fruit trees. After laying eggs, the branches will dry up, so most branches with green lower ends and dry tips have cicada eggs.

2. Post-harvest processing: After collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dry leaves, cut off the two ends, and bundle thirty branches into a bundle. Spread a layer of sand on the bottom of a large washing basin, and put the bundled branches upright in the basin. Keep the temperature at 28-34 degrees and the humidity moist. Spray it when it is dry. Use a sprayer to spray the branches until they are thoroughly wet.

3. Hatching: The larvae will hatch in about 15 days. At this time, you will see some larvae crawling up and down on the branches. When about 20% of the larvae have hatched, they should be buried. The burial pit should be in an area with many fine and soft hair roots so that the larvae can absorb nutrients from the roots. It is best to choose a plot where honeysuckle is planted.

4. Sowing: Dig a pit into a strip shape, the depth should be mainly to the hairy roots, and the width should be one shovel. Put the branches with hatched larvae into the pit, and the larvae will hug the plant roots by themselves. Be gentle and slow when returning the soil. After returning the soil, do not step on it, and do not water it to ensure ventilation.

5. Harvesting: If there are trees, wrap them with transparent tape at a distance of one meter to prevent the cicadas from climbing high to metamorphose. Cicadas will become adults 15-18 months after sowing.

6. Tips: Cicada eggs are collected mainly from wax branches and fruit tree branches. Cicada egg larvae feed on the juice of plant roots, so it is best to choose a multi-root area when burying. Each branch contains 100-400 cicada eggs, so 500-800 branches per mu are appropriate to ensure the survival rate. Using this method to grow golden cicadas can advance the original growth period of 3-15 years to 18 months, the hatching period is increased from the original one year to about 35 days, and the survival rate is increased from the original 6% to about 30%-60%. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for breeding in rural areas.

The price of golden cicadas is rising, and they have been served on the tables of restaurants of all sizes. The prospects are promising. The survival rate of golden cicadas planted in this way is high. If the minimum survival rate is 30% per acre, about 100,000 cicadas can survive.

Farming technology

1. Planting trees

Choose healthy tree species with well-developed root systems, lush growth, and more sap, such as poplar, elm, willow, tung or various fruit trees in the orchard. You can also plant honeysuckle and day lily in the breeding area. In addition, intercrop some root and tuber plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams.

You can build a gauze greenhouse and use short trees. The gauze should be more than twice the height of the tree, so that the cicadas can reproduce freely. When selecting seeds, male and female should be one to one.

(II) Branch processing

Collect the egg branches and bundle every 100 branches. Then mix them with 1% washing powder (100 kg of water to 1 kg of washing powder), and soak the bundled branches in the solution for two minutes. After taking them out, rinse them with clean water and stand them upright to dry. After that, spray them with pot ash mixed with water to kill pests and bacteria.

(III) Indoor high-temperature storage

First, clean the room, use dark fire and smoke to disinfect, kill insects and sterilize. Then pack or box the dried branches and place them on the indoor rack, and make the room ventilated and light-permeable.

4. Indoor incubation

At the end of May in the Gregorian calendar (when the temperature is suitable), you can hatch indoors or in a greenhouse. Place 10-15 cm of dry sand in the indoor or greenhouse, or use a plastic pot in the greenhouse to fill it with 10-15 cm of dry sand. Soak the branches in 20-degree warm water for two minutes, take out 10 bundles and place them on the sand in the indoor or greenhouse. Use 0.1% glucose powder and water to spray the branches with a sprayer to supplement the nutrition of the eggs stored in the dry branches for a long time. The larvae hatched in this way are strong and have a high survival rate. Note: Spray evenly with warm water three times a day, the humidity should not drip down, the temperature should be kept at 26-32 degrees, and the hatching time is 30-35 days.

(V) Planting

At the end of June in the Gregorian calendar, the hatched egg branches are buried for breeding. First, loosen the forest land with a disturber, 60 cm away from the tree and 15 cm deep, to loosen the soil and avoid breaking the tree roots, so that the pests can hide in the 15 cm mature soil layer. When digging trenches for planting, the distance should be about one meter from the tree, and the trench depth should be 35 cm. Sawdust and plant ash should be sprinkled on the bottom of the trench to kill insects and sterilize. Sawdust can promote the growth of larvae. Then put the hatched branches at the bottom of the trench, seal the trench with soil, 2 cm above the ground, do not step on it, and do not water it. After a period of time, you can fertilize, water, and spray the trees.

It is better to raise cicadas in a higher place or hang them in the air. This is more conducive to reproduction. The most important thing for indoor hatching is to maintain hygiene, temperature and regular spraying of pesticides for sterilization. Then it is time to plant them. Fertilize, water and spray them at intervals.
