CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What conditions are needed to raise a golden cicada to become a king? (What conditions are needed to raise a golden cicada to become a king?)

1. How to cultivate cicada monkeys artificially?

Methods and conditions for artificial breeding of cicadas: 1. Soil. Generally, cicadas prefer fruit trees, which are rich in sap, so they are generally chosen in land with fertile soil, but you must choose flat land, and there should not be too much water.

2. How to raise cicadas so that they grow fast?

Answer: 1. Breeding site: Breeding under the forest, various fruit trees and timber trees can meet its growth needs.

2. Heating: In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, cicadas enter the heating period, and cicada eggs should be collected in time.

3. Post-egg processing: After collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dry leaves, cut off the two ends, tie them into a bundle, spread a layer of sand on the bottom of a large washing basin, put the bundled branches upright in the basin, and keep the temperature between 28 and 34 degrees.

4. Bury after hatching: When 20% of the larvae have hatched, they should be buried. Choose an area with many soft hairy roots so that the larvae can absorb nutrients from the roots.

5. Sowing: Dig the pit into strips, the depth should be mainly to the hairy roots, put the branches with hatched larvae into the pits, and be gentle when returning the soil. Cicadas will become adults 15 to 18 months from the date of sowing, and can be harvested in time.

3. What procedures are required to raise cicada monkeys?

1. Required documents

Breeding cicadas generally requires obtaining industrial and commercial business permits, business licenses and other documents.

2. Other conditions

(1) Tree species

The tree species suitable for breeding include poplar, apple, apricot, willow, elm and other varieties.

(2) Land

The better the air permeability of the land, the more suitable it is for breeding cicadas. Before breeding, you can observe whether there are wild cicadas in the surrounding woods. If so, it can basically be concluded that they can be bred.

(3) Seed source

Seed sources can be collected by oneself or purchased through formal channels.

(4) Management

During the breeding process, it is necessary to cultivate good tree species and promote normal growth of the root system, so as to provide sufficient food for the cicadas.

4. What is the most advanced way to breed cicadas?

1. Feed supply

First of all, breeding cicadas is different from breeding other things, because when breeding cicadas, we also have to breed trees. Cicadas survive by parasitizing on trees. They mainly survive by sucking the sap of trees. Some trees with well-developed root systems and good growth all year round can be used as feed sources. Poplar is a good tree for breeding cicadas. Some other fruit trees can also be used as feed. In addition, potatoes and other things can be used, which are all nutritious feed sources.

2. Environmental conditions

The cicada does not have high requirements for its growth environment. Generally speaking, the best soil depth for the cicada is within 30-50 cm, and it is best to face the sun, which is very beneficial for frost prevention. In addition, the soil for growth should be loose, with good air permeability and drainage, and the natural moisture content of the soil should be sufficient. In winter, you can plant more other crops to ensure the temperature in the field, ensure the normal field temperature, and prevent frost damage.

3. Epidemic prevention preparations

Because the golden cicada is very fragile when it just emerges from the ground and has not yet emerged from its pupae, it has many natural enemies in these two stages, such as toads and snakes that often appear in the fields, which will pose a threat to its growth. Not only that, sometimes sparrows and some wild cats and other animals will eat it, and some microorganisms will also parasitize on its body. It is not suitable to apply pesticides to cicadas, as many pesticides contain ingredients that are harmful to cicadas. Therefore, if a problem arises, try to solve it with physical methods if possible. If it doesn't work, use chemical weapons for prevention and control.

5. How to select and breed cicadas?

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.

6. What conditions are needed to breed cicadas?

The forest is too dense and the distance between trees is too small, so the minimum requirement is 3*3 or 3.5*3.5.

If it is too dry, the larvae cannot burrow into the soil. Most breeders use a method of using a micro-tillage machine to till the trees once or twice (not too deep to avoid damaging the tree roots), planting the egg strips, and then using sprinkler irrigation to water regularly (once every two days, or once every day if it is too dry) to simulate the rainy season environment, keep the egg strips moist, allow the eggs to hatch as soon as possible, and keep the soil moist so that the eggs and larvae can burrow into the soil smoothly.
