CATDOLL: What is the best season to plant cicadas?

1. When is the best season to transplant golden cicada?

The best time to plant cicadas is around June to July every year. At this time, the climate is warm and the temperature is stable at around 25 degrees. Planting cicadas in coastal areas can be done one month in advance to avoid high temperatures that will cause poor growth of the larvae. In addition, cicadas need to be incubated and the egg branches should be placed in a greenhouse with humidity maintained at 65% to 70% and temperature maintained between 20 and 28 degrees.

2. When is the best season to plant cicada flowers?

The best time to plant cicadas is in early summer, from June to July every year. The temperature is relatively warm at this time, and the temperature is stable at around 25 degrees Celsius. The growth rate of cicadas is relatively fast after planting. If you plant cicadas in the southern region, you can plant them one month in advance.

When planting cicadas, dig narrow trenches 30-50 cm deep in the soil. The trenches should be triangular or ring-shaped to facilitate later harvesting. Then put the branches with eggs in, cover the roots with soil, and finally water the cicada thoroughly.

When caring for the cicada in the later stage, the temperature should be controlled at around 20-30 degrees Celsius, which is conducive to the rapid growth of branches, and sufficient sunlight should be ensured during the day to make the branches thick. When the weather is hot, the cicada branches should be watered once a day.

3. When to plant cicadas?

The best time to plant cicadas is around June to July every year, when the climate is warm and the ambient temperature is stable at around 25 degrees. Planting cicadas in southern regions can be started one month in advance to avoid high temperatures that will cause poor growth of the larvae. In addition, cicadas need to be hatched, so the egg branches should be placed in a greenhouse, the humidity should be maintained at 65% to 70%, and the room temperature should be maintained between 20 and 28 degrees.

4. When should cicada seedlings be planted?

Golden cicada seedlings can be planted in autumn and winter. Golden cicada eggs usually hatch in the second year, usually in September-October (two-year eggs) or June-July (first-year eggs). From the egg stage to the mature nymph, the golden cicada needs to grow underground for three winters and summers.

Warm reminder: The golden cicada is a protected wild animal. Protecting wild animals starts with ourselves. We should refuse to buy or sell wild animal products and not interfere with the free life of wild animals.

5. When should the seedlings be planted for breeding cicadas?

The best time to plant cicadas is around June to July every year. At this time, the climate is warm and the ambient temperature is stable at around 25 degrees. Cicadas grow fast after planting. If you plant cicadas in the southern region, you can plant them one month in advance to avoid high temperatures that will cause poor growth of the larvae.

Cicada cultivation requires incubation to reduce the growth time of cicadas. During incubation, the cicada egg branches should be placed upright in the greenhouse. Spray lime water once in the morning and evening with a sprayer. Control the indoor humidity to between 65% and 70%, and maintain the room temperature between 20 and 28 degrees.

6. How to grow golden cicada?

1. Planting time

The best time to plant cicadas is from June to July every year. The temperature is relatively warm at this time, and the temperature is stable at around 25 degrees Celsius. The growth rate of cicadas is relatively fast after planting. If you plant cicadas in the southern region, you can plant them one month in advance.

2. Choose the soil

Golden cicada branches are suitable for growing in fertile, loose and breathable soil. When planting, the soil needs to be turned over, weeds and dirt need to be cleaned, and then well-rotted farmyard manure needs to be applied to ensure that the golden cicada branches grow in soil rich in nutrient elements.

3. Planting method

When planting cicadas, dig narrow trenches 30-50 cm deep in the soil. The trenches should be triangular or ring-shaped to facilitate later harvesting. Then put the branches with eggs in, cover the roots with soil, and finally water the cicada thoroughly.

4. Breeding management

When caring for the cicada in the later stage, the temperature should be controlled at around 20-30 degrees Celsius, which is conducive to the rapid growth of branches, and sufficient sunlight should be ensured during the day to make the branches thick. When the weather is hot, the cicada branches should be watered once a day.

7. How and when to plant cicadas?

The breeding period of golden cicadas is generally from September to October (two-year eggs) or from June to July (first-year eggs). Golden cicadas are insects with incomplete metamorphosis, and their growth and development need to go through three stages: egg, nymph and adult.

1. Feed supply

Choose to plant some strong tree species with well-developed root systems, vigorous growth and rich juice, such as poplar, elm, willow, tung, or various fruit trees in the orchard. At the same time, you can also intercrop some root and tuber plants, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, etc.

2. Environmental conditions

(1) The "breeding" depth of the cicada is about 30-50 cm. The terrain should be sunny and conducive to frost prevention. The soil should be fertile, loose, and unpolluted. It should not be too dry, nor should it have too high a water content or water accumulation.

(2) To ensure the normal growth and development of the host plant root system and the juiciness of the young plants, a layer of rice straw, wheat straw, corn straw, etc. can be covered in the planting area to keep warm in winter.

3. Epidemic prevention preparations

(1) There are many natural enemies of nymphs after they emerge from the soil and adults after they emerge from the pupae, such as snakes, hedgehogs, rodents, wild cats, toads, etc. Generally, sparrows and mantises like to eat nymphs. At the same time, microorganisms such as green muscardine, white bassiana, and entomogenous algae also pose parasitic hazards. In addition, pollution such as floods, pesticides, and fertilizers also pose great risks to cicadas. Therefore, during the breeding process, attention should be paid to taking appropriate protective measures.

(2) The more important seasons are the egg stage on trees, the outbreak period of cicada ants, and the emergence period of mature nymphs. The natural enemies of the tree egg stage and the outbreak period are mainly ants and small red flower bugs. Generally, you can use 100 times diluted ammonia to soak the egg branches, or use DDVP, strong chlorine, etc. to treat the soil.

4. Breeding technology

(1) In addition to naturally collecting cicada eggs, general production facilities for adults and nymphs can also include building gauze greenhouses to provide space for adult cicadas to lay eggs. Fruit trees in abandoned orchards can also be used to replant fruit tree seedlings.

(2) A fence can be built around the fruit tree seedlings using cement columns or bamboo racks, with iron wire in the middle and a layer of nylon window screen on the outside. The adults that have emerged or been collected can mate and lay eggs in the fence, and the adults can be retained based on their number, without the need to collect seeds from the wild.

8. When is the best time to plant cicadas?

Around June to July

The best time to plant cicadas is around June to July every year, when the climate is warm and the ambient temperature is stable at around 25 degrees. Planting cicadas in southern regions can be started one month in advance to avoid high temperatures that will cause poor growth of the larvae. In addition, cicadas need to be hatched, so the egg branches should be placed in a greenhouse, the humidity should be maintained at 65% to 70%, and the room temperature should be maintained between 20 and 28 degrees.
