CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many golden cicadas can be produced per acre of land (How many seeds can be produced per acre of land)

1. 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.

2. How many grasshoppers can be planted per square meter?

2,000 eggs are planted per square meter. If the breeding does not affect the growth of crops on the ground, only 50 square meters are needed per acre, which means 100,000 cicada seeds per acre.

3. How many cicadas can be raised under one tree?

The unit price of a cicada in the local market is generally around 60 to 80 cents. A tree can produce about 100 to 300 cicadas continuously, with a price between 200 and 300 yuan. An acre of land can be sold for between 10,000 and 15,000 yuan. By contracting dozens of acres of land, the annual income can basically be guaranteed to be hundreds of thousands, which is still considerable.

4. How many cicada eggs are generally needed to raise cicadas on one acre of land?

To ensure nutrition and the health of the land, it is impossible to raise enough cicadas at once. Ecology, risk and value must also be considered. It is best to plant cicadas in one acre of land with a certain density and distance. 2,000 eggs per square meter, 0.1-0.2 yuan per egg, the income per square meter is 200-400 yuan. If it does not affect the growth of crops on the ground, only 50 square meters per acre are needed, and the income will be more than 10,000 yuan.

The hatching period of cicada eggs is from the end of February to the end of June in the Gregorian calendar. The hatched eggs are planted from the beginning of April to the middle of July. It is not good to plant them too early or too late. Reasons: (1). According to our many years of breeding practice and repeated experiments, the egg period of cicada eggs is generally about 280 to 300 days. In July, 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.

5. How many cicada monkeys can be raised on half an acre of land?

Now, one acre of land can produce 100-300 kilograms of cicadas. According to the current market price of 60 yuan, the income is about 6,000-18,000 yuan.

6. How many yellow candied ivy trees should be planted per square meter?

To raise cicadas, more than 400 trees need to be planted on one acre of land so that the cicadas have a place to live.

7. How many peach trees should be planted per acre to raise cicadas?

To raise cicadas under peach trees, plant 330 trees (1✘2) per acre of land, then thin them out to 165 trees (2✘2), and keep 823 trees (2✘4) in the third year. Because peach trees grow fast, they can be planted a little densely in the early stage, and then thinned out every year to facilitate the harvest of cicadas in the later stage.

8. How many cicadas can be planted in one acre of poplar trees?

Generally, there are about 80 poplar trees per acre. One tree can generally produce about 45 cicadas, and one kilogram of golden cicadas requires 100 to 105.

9. Can I occupy large fields to raise 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, with the depth mainly reaching the hairy roots and the width being one shovel. Place the branches with hatched larvae into the pit, and the larvae will hug the plant roots by themselves.
