CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Jinchan can grow tens of thousands of chicks per acre (Is it possible for Jinchan to grow tens of thousands of chicks per acre)

1. How many cicadas should be planted per acre of land?

One acre of orchard is planted with about 200 cicada egg branches, each of which can produce 60-100 cicadas.

2. How many cicada larvae should be released into one acre of orchard?

About 200,000. Golden cicada breeding is a new breeding industry. One mu of golden cicada seedlings has 2,000 branches, each containing 100 golden cicada eggs. Artificial hatching can reach more than 80%! To be precise, the current yield per mu is 100-300 kilograms. Golden cicada is a representative species of Cicadidae insects. The adult is also called black grasshopper cicada, commonly known as cicada turtle, cicada monkey, etc. Its breeding method is to first choose a good breeding site, and then go through egg collection, post-harvest processing, hatching, sowing, sowing time, harvesting, and collection.

3. How many cicada monkeys can be produced per acre of land?

On average, one acre of land can produce 5,000 to 10,000 cicadas. One acre of land can produce 300 to 500 kilograms of cicadas. The specific amount depends on the growth of the forest and the breeding method, and there are certain differences in the number of cicadas per acre. When breeding cicadas, you should choose tree species with a lot of juice and a large tree shape, such as willows and elms. This is the key factor to obtain high yields.

4. How many acres of land are needed to breed cicadas?

Starting from 2 acres

If we calculate based on a two-year-old tree, 500 egg-laying strips can be placed per mu of forest land, and each egg branch contains more than 100 cicada eggs. If the hatching rate is 80%, each strip can hatch more than 80 cicada ants, and more than 300 catties of golden cicadas can be harvested per mu of forest land (about 110 cicadas per catty). The current market price of golden cicadas is about 30 yuan per catty, so the income per mu of forest land is about 9,000 yuan. For mature trees, 1,000-1,500 strips can be placed per mu of forest land, and the income will double accordingly.

The golden cicada is a representative species of the Cicadidae family. The adult is also called the black grasshopper cicada, commonly known as the cicada turtle, cicada monkey, etc. The breeding method is to first choose a good breeding site, and then go through eight steps: egg collection, post-harvest processing, hatching, sowing, sowing time, harvesting, and collection.

1. Breeding site

Cicadas are mainly bred under forests. Their growth needs can be met under various fruit trees and timber trees. There is no need to invest in building sites or houses, and there is no need to purchase other breeding facilities. my country is rich in forest resources, and it is generally difficult to interplant crops under fruit trees and other trees that are more than three years old. Cicada breeding makes use of the space under trees and grows by sucking the sap from the roots. It can be said that this develops breeding without affecting the growth of trees, killing two birds with one stone. The entire breeding process does not require feeding management, epidemic prevention, etc., and does not occupy labor. If the technology and sales of cicada breeding are solved, cicada breeding is a good project for laid-off workers to develop re-employment and for farmers to engage in the tertiary industry.

2. Egg collection

The eggs are collected after the cicadas lay eggs in autumn, usually around the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The cicadas use the small thorns on their tails to pierce the tender branches of one-year-old trees and lay their eggs inside 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.

3. 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.

4. Incubation

The larvae will hatch in about fifteen 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 selected 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. In a plastic pot that is 10 cm long, 40 cm wide and 20 cm high, spread 5 to 10 cm thick fine dry sand on the bottom, place the egg branches in bundles vertically or horizontally on it, and constantly spray mist with a small sprayer to maintain high humidity in the air around the branches of the golden cicada eggs so that excess water droplets are absorbed in the fine sand at the bottom. During the incubation period, the hatching status of the golden cicada eggs should be checked continuously. When a small number of golden cicada larvae are found to be active, the branches and fine sand can be placed in the breeding site for planting.

5. Planting seeds

Dig the 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. Do not step on the soil after returning it, and do not water it to ensure ventilation.

6. Sowing time

Planting time is generally from May to July or from September to October. Dig regular narrow trenches about 10 to 30 cm deep about 1 meter away from the base of the trunk, such as ring, square, triangle, parallel or radial shapes, for the purpose of later digging and harvesting. Cover the soil and compact it after "planting", and keep records of the time, quantity, "planting" trench shape and depth. It should be sunny and frost-proof, with soft, fertile and pollution-free soil; it should not be too dry, nor should it have too high water content or water accumulation, to ensure the normal growth and development of the host plant root system, and the young plants should be tender, developed and juicy. In winter, wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw, etc. should be covered in the planting area to maintain the ground temperature.

7. Harvest

If there are trees, wrap a circle of transparent tape at one meter to prevent the cicadas from climbing high to metamorphose. Cicadas become adults 15-18 months from the date of sowing.

8. Collection

Cicada eggs are mainly made of wax strips, and 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 advances the original growth period of 3-15 years to 18 months, the incubation 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.

5. How many cicada seedlings should be placed in one acre of orchard?

One acre of orchard can plant about 200 cicada egg-bearing branches, each of which can produce 60-100 cicadas, so 5 acres of land can raise 60,000 to 100,000 cicadas.

6. How many grams of seeds are needed to raise one acre of cicadas?

Use about 25 grams of cicada seedlings per acre of land.

The breeding of cicadas requires planting trees on the land. If you own the land, you can save about one-third of the cost.

Golden cicadas need to suck the roots of trees to grow, so they need trees. You can plant dozens of poplars or fruit trees per acre. Each seedling costs 1-2 yuan, and fruit trees cost about 10 yuan. The amount of seedlings per acre should be determined based on the conditions of the seedlings and the forest land. The yield of golden cicadas is also based on the seedlings and forest land.

7. How many cicadas can be planted per acre of land?

Cicada breeding is a new breeding industry. There are 2,000 cicada seedlings per mu, and each cicada seedling contains 100 cicada eggs. Artificial hatching can reach more than 80%! To be precise, the current yield per mu is 100-300 kilograms.

Golden cicada has extremely high nutritional value and unique taste, especially the newly unearthed nymphs, which contain the highest protein, making it a rare high-protein, low-fat game delicacy. In addition to its edible value, grasshopper cicada also has extremely high medicinal value, making it a top-grade medicinal food.

8. How many cicadas can be raised in one acre of greenhouse?

The number of seeds released per acre is about 10,000, with males and females accounting for approximately 50% each. Under normal circumstances, each male and female cicada can lay 500 to 1,500 eggs. Based on this calculation, the seeds cultivated in a one-acre greenhouse can provide seeds for the reproduction of cicadas in 20 acres of land.

About 20 days after the cicadas emerge from their pupae, they can mate and lay eggs. When laying eggs, the cicadas pierce the epidermis of the branches and lay their eggs in the wood. During the mating and egg-laying period, try not to walk around or make noise in the greenhouse to avoid adverse effects on the cicadas.

The newly emerged nymphs (cicada turtles) have many natural enemies, and even after they have emerged, they still have many natural enemies. It is important to take precautions against natural enemies. Common pests include toads, sparrows, and mantises. Secondly, you should also check whether the gauze is damaged to prevent the cicada from escaping through the gap.

During the growth period of cicadas, they may encounter some diseases. Microorganisms such as Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Entomogenetic algae (cicadae) can cause parasitic damage to cicadas, so they should be protected during breeding. During the period when mature nymphs emerge from the soil, eggs are laid under trees and cicada ants occur, the main natural enemies of cicadas are ants and red flower bugs, which must be strictly prevented. Strong ammonia can be used for soil treatment.
