CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many poplar trees should be planted per acre to raise golden cicadas? (How many poplar trees should be planted per acre to raise golden cicadas?)

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

Willow trees are not as good as poplar trees in raising cicadas. As to why, it is difficult to say.

Spacing: 3 meters between rows and 2-2.5 meters between plants. 30 trees should be planted per acre.

2. How many cicadas can be raised in one acre of poplar field?

About 100 pounds.

Generally, about 80 poplar trees are most suitable for one acre of land. One tree can support about 45 to 100 poplars, and on average one acre can produce about 100 kilograms of poplars per year, and the profit is also considerable, about 5,000 yuan.

3. How many cicada seedlings should be planted on poplar trees in two years?

In 2 years, there are about 15,000 poplar species.

How many cicada egg branches can be placed in a general forest land is also related to the age of the trees and the planting density. For forest land with trees more than three years old, about 800 egg branches can be placed per acre. Due to the different number of cicada eggs on each egg branch, there are generally about 100 eggs, and the difference is also very large. Placing an appropriate amount of cicada nymphs will not affect the growth of trees, and it is also beneficial to the feeding environment of the cicada's underground survival.

The best time to plant trees for breeding cicadas is generally after the beginning of spring, especially evergreen trees. Some deciduous trees can be planted after the leaves fall in autumn, but they must be kept warm. Trees must not be planted in the summer, which is the peak growth season for trees. In addition, the weather is hot and the evaporation is high. Planting trees will damage their roots and cause them to dehydrate and die.

4. How many 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.

5. How many grams of cicadas can be produced from a 5-year-old poplar tree?

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

Golden cicadas are raised under forests. They can grow under various fruit trees and wood trees. It is difficult to interplant crops under trees that are more than three years old. Golden cicada breeding makes use of the space under these trees, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The entire breeding process does not require feeding management, epidemic prevention, etc., and does not occupy labor.

6. What is the profit from artificial breeding of golden cicada shells?

Profits from breeding cicadas:

Based on the calculation of planting 100 poplar trees per mu of land at a spacing of 2 meters by 3 meters, saplings are planted in the first year, and the cost is 2 yuan per tree. In the first year, the trees are allowed to grow without placing egg strips. From the second year, egg strips are placed, 20 strips per tree, and the market price of egg strips is 0.5 yuan per strip. The investment per mu of land is: 100 trees * 20 strips * 0.5 = 1,000 yuan.

Investment in the first year: 100 trees * 2 yuan/tree = 200 yuan Profit: 0

Second year investment: 1000 yuan income: 0

Investment in the third year: 0 yuan Return: 0

Investment in the fourth year: 0 yuan Return: 100 catties * 40 yuan/catties = 4,000 yuan

Investment in the fifth year: 0 yuan Return: 100 catties * 40 yuan/catties = 4,000 yuan

Total income in 5 years: 8000 yuan Total investment: 1200 yuan, gross income: 8000-1200 = 6800 yuan

7. How many trees are needed to raise cicadas per acre of land?

Planting density, according to the area of ​​land for breeding cicadas and your own economic situation, choose to cut bamboo willow segments or transplant 1-2 year old bamboo willow seedlings. Bamboo willow seedlings can be cut by yourself or bought. The spacing between plants and rows is 0.5m × 1.5m, and there are 888 trees per mu. It can also be 0.5m × 2m, and there are 666 trees per mu.

2. Intercropping arrangement: Garlic can be planted in autumn on the plots prepared for growing cicadas. Take 1.5 meters as one bed, leave 15 cm at each end of the bed, and the remaining 1.2 meters wide for planting large plants. In this way, there is a 30 cm wide blank strip between the two for annual planting of bamboo willow seedlings or cuttings of bamboo willow segments.

At the appropriate local seedling raising time, use a small arch shed to grow asparagus seedlings and chili peppers. When they can be transplanted in the open field, plant 2 rows of chili peppers in a 1.2-meter-wide garlic field. The chili rows should be as close to the center line of the bed as possible, with one row on one side of the center line.

Asparagus is transplanted into the bamboo willow row, in the same row as the bamboo willow, with a spacing of 1 meter between plants.

3. Field management: Garlic should be managed according to conventional management methods. Do not apply urea or ammonium fertilizer during this period. Apply fermented green manure or chicken, cow, sheep manure, etc. If spraying pesticides, use low-toxic pesticides as much as possible, and do not use highly toxic and systemic pesticides. After the garlic is harvested, decide whether to water it again depending on the situation.

4. Transplant the bamboo willow seedlings, soak the roots of the bamboo willow trees in the prepared rooting solution, and then plant them in the field.

5. Hatching egg branches: When the temperature reaches 26℃, start hatching egg branches and cutting bamboo and willow sections. In the first year, plant 2,500 to 3,000 cicada egg branches per acre.

For plots where 1-2 year old bamboo willow seedlings are transplanted, 4,000 to 5,000 egg branches are used per mu per year. Fewer egg branches will result in lower yields.

6. Intercropping: In the first year, if there are no 1-2 year old bamboo willow seedlings, whether it is cutting bamboo willow segments or transplanting 1-2 year old bamboo willow seedlings, it is recommended to intercrop chili peppers to increase income.

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. How thick a tree is needed to breed cicadas?

20 cm is enough.

The planting amount of 1-3 years old willow is about 35-40 per acre, the planting amount of 4-6 years old willow is about 25-35 per acre, and the planting amount of 7-8 years old willow is about 20-30 per acre. The most suitable tree species for breeding cicadas is willow, followed by poplar. These two trees grow very fast and have a high survival rate. The best time to plant trees for breeding cicadas is around the beginning of spring, especially evergreen trees.

10. What are the methods and profits of breeding cicadas?

There are two situations when we breed cicadas. One is that there is a ready-made forest land for breeding cicadas, and the other is that we need to replant forest land to breed cicadas. If there is a ready-made forest land for breeding cicadas, the investment is relatively small. You only need to buy cicada egg branches, hatch them for a certain period of time, and then plant them. For breeding cicadas in existing forest land, the investment per acre is generally about 1,000-2,000 yuan. If you need to replant trees and then use them to breed cicadas, then the investment will be relatively large. To replant trees to breed cicadas, the investment per acre is generally at least 5,000 yuan.

How to breed cicadas in rural areas?

If you want to breed cicadas, you should plant bamboo willows, because bamboo willows have strong vitality and well-developed root systems, which are very suitable for breeding cicadas. If you want to breed them in existing forests, you should generally choose poplar forests, after all, there are many poplar forests in our rural areas.

Breeding cicadas is actually quite simple, mainly consisting of the following steps:

First, cicada egg branches are collected from September to November each year, and then stored until March to June of the following year for hatching. You can also directly purchase cicada egg branches online for hatching.

The branches for hatching cicada eggs are from March to June every year, and the most suitable for hatching cicada eggs are from May to June. After all, the average temperature in these two months is between 28 and 34 degrees Celsius, which is exactly the temperature at which cicadas hatch the fastest.

When there are little cicadas on the cicada egg branches, we need to transfer the cicada egg branches to the cicada breeding forest for planting. It is best to complete the planting before July every year. After all, starting from July every year, the temperature will get higher and higher, and the high temperature and scorching sun will easily kill the newly hatched cicadas. In addition, starting from July every year, it is the time for us to catch mature nymphs of cicadas, and it is easy to step on the newly hatched little cicadas.

During the period of cicada breeding, we must avoid drought, waterlogging, pesticide residues, and natural enemies of cicadas in the cicada breeding forest. In particular, we must not allow waterlogging to occur in the cicada breeding forest, because water will penetrate into the ground and drown the cicadas underground.

The cicada needs to grow underground for at least three years before it can come out of the ground in the summer three years later. At this time, we need to catch the mature nymphs of the cicada that come out of the ground at night.

How profitable is it to breed cicadas?

The market for golden cicadas is not very clear this year. After all, it is not clear whether golden cicadas can be traded this year. So I can only calculate the profit of breeding golden cicadas based on the data of 2019.

At present, one mu of cicada breeding forest land can generally produce at least 150 kilograms of mature cicada nymphs per year. Based on the 2019 price of 0.5 yuan per cicada, there are about 100 to 110 cicadas per kilogram. In other words, one kilogram of cicadas can be sold for about 50 to 55 yuan in 2019. Therefore, one mu of land for breeding cicadas can basically generate a gross income of 7,500 yuan.

After deducting various expenses, the net income from raising cicadas per mu of land is about 5,000 yuan. This is just a conservative calculation, because 150 kilograms of mature cicada nymphs per mu of land is considered a low yield. In addition, the trees in the cicada breeding forest are also a good source of income.
