1. How many days does it take to raise cicada seedlings before they can be sold?

The breeding of cicadas is effective quickly. Artificial breeding of cicadas shortens the growth time. After two to three years of artificial breeding, cicadas can naturally emerge from the ground. In recent years, great progress has been made in the artificial breeding of cicadas. A new technology for artificial rapid breeding of cicadas has been explored, which shortens the growth cycle of cicadas to 18 to 24 months before they can be sold. The breeding time in indoor pools and plastic greenhouses is as short as 18 months before they can be sold. At the same time, crops with quick effects can be intercropped in cicada forests, or edible fungi can be cultivated, and small animals can be raised, which improves the benefits of artificial breeding of cicadas.

2. What are the ten benefits of raising cicadas?

First, there are vast resources. There are many trees such as poplars and tung trees distributed in rural areas of my country, as well as a large number of fruit trees such as apple trees, pear trees, and hawthorn trees, which can be used as natural places to raise cicadas.

Second, the investment is relatively small. If you want to breed cicadas on a large scale, you can buy cicada eggs from professional breeding farms, and the source of cicadas is guaranteed. For small-scale development, you can also do it yourself in the suburbs or rural areas, and collect cicadas in the woods and orchards.

Third, the effect is fast. Artificial breeding shortens the growth time of cicadas. In recent years, some enterprises and breeders dedicated to cicada breeding have made breakthrough progress in artificial breeding of cicadas, and have explored a new technology for artificial rapid breeding of cicadas, which shortens the growth cycle of cicadas to 18 to 24 months before they can be dug up and sold. Cicadas can be dug up and sold in indoor pools, plastic greenhouses, and semi-natural forest breeding in the shortest 18 months.

Fourth, no feeding is required. Cicada breeding does not require care and feeding. Cicada eggs are hidden in the soil. When the nymphs hatch, they will suck the juice of crops or tree roots to grow. The entire breeding process does not require management, feeding, and epidemic prevention, and does not occupy labor. Compared with traditional breeding industries such as pig and chicken farming, it is much simpler and more convenient. It is a good project for breeding to get rich.

Fifth, the product is very popular. The larvae of golden cicada and its adult grasshopper cicada are insects with large consumption in northern China, and can be seen in hotels of all grades and specifications, farmers' markets, and farmers' tables.

3. What is the harvest time for cicada monkey breeding in Henan?

Cicadas are usually harvested after about three years of breeding. Some of them can come out in two years, some in four years, and most in the third year. The specific differences are caused by the different thickness of the tree roots that the cicada ants parasitize after entering the soil and the different temperatures of the forest. Grasshopper cicadas are also called cicadas, and their cicada shells and male cicadas can be used as medicine. The newly unearthed old larvae are rich in nutrition, with a protein content of 58-58% and a fat content of 10-32%. Cicadas are now on the table as health foods, and the market demand is increasing, and the price is getting higher and higher.

4. How many years do you have to raise cicadas before you can sell them?

It takes three years from cicada egg laying to harvesting cicada pupae.
