What does it mean to raise cicada monkeys under trees?

Wang Xiaoqin is a 38-year-old villager from Zhuwang Village, Zacun Town, Laizhou City. She was laid off three years ago, her husband was ill, and her children were in school, so her family's life suddenly fell into a difficult situation. At this time, the staff of the Municipal Family Planning Association came to her home, encouraged her to regain her confidence and courage in life, and helped her to investigate projects to get rich. Finally, she chose the project of raising cicada monkeys under trees, which required little investment and had quick results, and helped her lease 500 acres of forest land.

It usually takes 3 to 5 years for wild cicada monkeys to develop from eggs to larvae. In order to shorten the growth cycle and improve economic benefits, Wang Xiaoqin came to Beijing in the spring of 2007 and studied cicada monkey breeding technology at Beijing Agricultural University and Beijing Forestry University, which shortened the cicada monkey growth cycle from 3 to 5 years to 18 months. After returning home, she officially started cicada monkey breeding.

Using the knowledge she had learned, she placed branches with cicada eggs in the house and sprayed them with 1:300 lime water in the morning and evening, keeping the indoor humidity at 65%-70% and the temperature at 20-28 degrees Celsius. After one month, she chose trees with many roots, buried the eggs in the soil 30 centimeters deep near them, and flooded them with water, waiting for the larvae to grow underground.

On August 19, 50,000 cicada monkeys that Wang Xiaoqin raised under the tree were airlifted to Hong Kong, China. She said happily: "The annual output of my cicada monkeys has reached 1 million, and I can make a net profit of 300,000 yuan a year." Being rich by yourself is not enough. Recently, Wang Xiaoqin provided cicada monkey eggs worth 20,000 yuan to 8 women for breeding free of charge, leading them to become rich together.

How to breed cicada monkeys to achieve high yield?

The hatching of cicada egg branches is about the end of February to the end of June in the Gregorian calendar. The hatched egg branches are planted about early April to mid-July. It is not good to plant too early or too late. Reasons: (1). According to our many years of breeding practice and repeated experiments, the egg period of cicadas is generally about 280 to 300 days. In July, the cicada eggs have begun to die in large numbers, their vitality has decreased, and some have died before hatching (there are very few poplar branches left). They are very likely to die during the hatching process. The survival rate is less than 10% of the normal situation. (2). The cicada egg branches produced in the same year will not hatch small cicadas because they have a dormant period. Therefore, only the egg branches of the previous year can hatch. Don't be fooled by the unscientific promises of some farms that cicadas can be hatched at any time. (3). Some farms say that as long as they hatch and do not see small cicadas, they can still breed. This is pure nonsense. The consequence of such breeding can only be said that the survival rate is extremely low, less than 1%, and the cycle is as long as 3-5 years.

Choose healthy tree species with thriving root systems, vigorous growth, and more juice, such as fast-growing poplars, elms, willows, tung trees, or various fruit trees in the orchard. In addition, some root and tuber plants, such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams, should also be planted.

Through years of practice and experimentation, we have summarized a new cultivation method, which has a 10-20% higher survival rate than the general cultivation method. The general cultivation method has a survival rate of about 20%, and ours can reach 30-50%. Some farmers boast of 70% and 80%, which is impossible to reach such a high level. They say that they guarantee the yield per mu, which is all exaggeration. The survival rate of our cultivation method is now 30%-50%, which is nearly ten times more than the natural one. That is to say, one branch produces about 60-100 cicadas, and each tree is planted with ten branches, and each mu is planted with 500 branches, and the yield per mu is more than 300 kilograms, which is a considerable profit. Don't be fooled by the unscientific promises of some farmers that the survival rate is 70% or 80%.
