CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many kilograms per mu is suitable for breeding golden cicadas? (How many kilograms per mu is suitable for breeding golden cicadas?)

1. 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.

2. How many plants should be planted per acre to raise cicadas?

Under normal circumstances, the yield of one acre of golden cicadas can reach about 500 kilograms. For beginners who have just started to breed golden cicadas, the yield per acre is generally more than 100 kilograms or more than 200 kilograms, of course, there are also those that can reach more than 300 kilograms.

3. What is the survival rate of cicada seeds?

In the first year, about 1,000 egg branches will be placed for every 100 saplings per mu. The specific placement depends on the planting density of the trees. In the first year, the root system of the small trees is not very developed, so 5 egg branches are enough for each tree. For two or three years old trees, 10 to 20 egg branches are enough.

After 2 years, the yield of cicadas per mu is generally about 50 kilograms. Because it is the first time to artificially breed cicadas, there is insufficient technical experience, and the root system is not well developed in the first year. The unearthed rate in the first year is about 50%, and the income in the first year is about 4,000-8,000 yuan.

The amount of unearthed in the second year will be 30% of the parasitic amount in the first year, plus 50% of the second year. The output in the second year will be significantly higher than that in the first year. The income in the second year is 5,000-15,000 yuan.

4. What are the breeding and reproduction techniques for cicadas?

1. Cicada breeding technology

1. Feed supply, choose to plant some strong tree species with well-developed root systems, vigorous growth, and more juice, such as poplars, elms, willows, tung trees, or various fruit trees in the orchard. At the same time, some rhizome plants can be intercropped, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, etc. 2. Environmental conditions The "breeding" depth of golden cicadas is about 30-50 cm. The terrain should be sunny and conducive to frost prevention. The soil should be fertile, soft, and unpolluted. It should not be too dry, nor should it have too high a water content or water accumulation. In order to ensure the normal growth and development of the host plant root system, and the tender and juicy young plants, a layer of rice straw, wheat straw, corn straw, etc. can be covered in the breeding area for insulation in winter.

3. Preparation for epidemic prevention: There are many natural enemies of nymphs after they emerge from the tree and adults after they emerge, 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 harm to cicadas. Therefore, during the breeding process, we must pay attention to taking corresponding protective measures. The more important seasons are the egg stage on the tree, the occurrence period of "cicada ants", and the emergence period of mature nymphs. The natural enemies of the egg stage on the tree and the occurrence period of cicada ants are mainly ants and red small flower bugs. Generally, you can use 100 times the solution of strong ammonia to wash the egg branches, or DDVP, strong chlorine, etc. to treat the soil.

4. Breeding technology In addition to naturally collecting cicada eggs, general production facilities for adults and nymphs can also build gauze greenhouses to provide space for golden cicada adults to lay eggs. Fruit trees in abandoned orchards can also be used to replant fruit tree seedlings. Fences can be built around fruit tree seedlings using cement columns or bamboo racks, with iron wires in the middle, and a layer of nylon window screen can be covered on the outside. For the adults that have emerged or been collected, they can mate and lay eggs in them. Later, the adults can be retained according to the number, without the need to collect seed sources from the wild. 2. The production of golden cicadas

2,000 cicada seedlings are planted per mu of land, each containing 100 cicada eggs. Generally, the artificial hatching of cicada eggs can reach more than 80%, so the yield per mu of land is about 100-300 kilograms.

5. How many kilograms can be produced per mu by raising cicadas on bamboo willows?

In conventional breeding, the yield of bamboo willow cicada is generally about 150 catties per mu. If high-density breeding is carried out, the yield per mu can generally reach about 300 catties. If you want to increase the yield per mu of cicada, you can choose varieties with well-developed root systems, fast growth, and lush branches and leaves as breeding tree species, so that they can provide sufficient nutrient juice for the nymphs and promote their rapid growth. At the same time, you can intercrop some rhizome plants under the trees so that the nymphs can absorb the nutrient juice in time.

6. How long does it take for the cicada to survive after planting?

It takes three years from cicada egg laying to harvesting cicada pupae. The eggs are collected in autumn, usually around the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the larvae will hatch in about fifteen days. At this time, you can see some larvae crawling up and down on the branches. When about 20% of the larvae have hatched, they should be buried.

How are cicadas bred?

1. Egg collection: Egg collection is done after the cicada lays eggs in autumn, usually around the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The cicada uses the small thorns on its tail to pierce the tender branches of one year old trees and lay eggs in 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.

2. 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.

3. Hatching: The larvae will hatch in about 15 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 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.

4. Sowing: Dig a 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.

5. Harvesting: If there are trees, wrap them with transparent tape at a distance of one meter to prevent the cicadas from climbing high to metamorphose. Cicadas will become adults 15-18 months after sowing.

6. Tips: Cicada eggs are collected mainly from wax branches and fruit tree branches. 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 can advance the original growth period of 3-15 years to 18 months, the incubation period from the original one year to about 35 days, and the survival rate from the original 6% to about 30%-60%. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for breeding in rural areas.

Nowadays, the price of golden cicadas has been rising, and golden cicadas have been served on the tables of restaurants of all sizes. The prospects are promising. The survival rate of golden cicadas planted in this way is high. If the minimum survival rate is 30% per acre, about 100,000 cicadas can survive.

What should we pay attention to when breeding cicadas?

Golden cicadas are different from other animals. They have a certain breeding time limit. If they are raised too early or too late, the survival rate of golden cicadas will be greatly affected. Basically, it should be started around March every year, but it also depends on the weather conditions. If the temperature in March is too low, it can be postponed to May. But be careful, it must not be done in relatively cold weather, which will easily lead to freezing and greatly reduce the probability of golden cicada hatching.

After entering June, the growth of cicadas has entered the middle stage, so it is too late to start hatching at this stage. Many cicadas have not yet decomposed, but casualties have already begun. You should know that cicadas are very fragile, unlike other animals, so the temperature and time in breeding are very important. If either of them is not kept up, it is easy to directly lead to breeding failure.

We all know that wild cicadas generally live in trees. Various woods are their homes, and they are often the most numerous in summer. Therefore, when breeding, we should also pay attention to providing a better environment as much as possible, and also pay attention to the environment in the soil. The moisture in the soil should not be too high, but also not too little, and try not to have stagnant water. Secondly, try not to choose a nursery when breeding, but choose some orchards, so that the cicadas can continue to grow. If there are some natural cicadas around the breeding cicadas, then we should also consider the adaptability of the environment and try to choose carefully.

Since all the eggs in the golden cicada breeding are buried in the soil at the beginning, the soil is a key link in the entire breeding process. Of course, the choice of soil at the beginning is also very important. Try to choose some organic soil, which should be relatively soft and you can also add some sand, which is very good for the growth of golden cicadas.

If there is no such soil, you can also choose some loess, but you must pay attention to the water. Too much water will directly cause the cicada to suffer from hypoxia at the beginning of its growth, which is extremely detrimental to their survival and can easily lead to breeding failure.

7. How many grams of cicada seedlings are needed per acre of land?

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.

8. In which month of each year are cicada seedlings planted in the ground?

It is reported that the breeding time 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.

What are the breeding techniques and yields of 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.

(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.

How many kilograms of golden cicadas can be produced from their breeding?

2,000 cicada seedlings are planted per acre, each containing 100 cicada eggs. Generally, the artificial hatching rate of cicada eggs can reach more than 80%, so the yield per acre is about 100-300 kilograms.

Can the Golden Cicada be unearthed in the third year?

Under good breeding conditions, cicadas can generally emerge from the ground in about three years. Cicadas are insects with incomplete metamorphosis, and their growth and development go through three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. The nymph stage of wild cicadas is generally 3-5 years. Artificial breeding can slightly shorten the nymph stage and advance the time of emergence.
