First, egg collection: egg collection is after the golden cicada lays eggs in autumn, usually around July of the lunar calendar. The golden cicada pierces the annual twig with a small thorn on its tail, and lays eggs on the twig, mostly fleshy branches such as fruit trees. After laying eggs, the twigs will dry up, so most of the branches with green lower ends and dry ends have cicada eggs.
2. Post-harvest treatment: after collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dead leaves, cut off both ends, bundle 30 branches into a bundle, spread a layer of sand on the bottom of a large laundry basin, put the bundled branches vertically into the basin, keep the temperature at 28-34 degrees, and keep the humidity moist, that is, spray them when they are dry, and spray them with a sprayer until they are soaked.
Hatching: The larvae hatch in about fifteen days. At this time, you will see some larvae crawling around on the branches. When about 20% larvae hatch, they should be buried. The area with thin and soft hair roots should be selected for burial, so that the larvae can absorb nutrients from the roots, and it is best to choose the land where honeysuckle is planted.
4. Sowing: Dig the pit into strips, the depth is mainly at the root of the hair, and the width is one shovel. Put the branches of the hatched larvae into the into the pit along the pit, and the larvae will grasp the roots of the plants by themselves. Return the soil gently and slowly. Fortunately, after being unearthed, you can't step on it or water it to keep it ventilated.
5. Harvest: If there are trees, surround them with transparent tape for one meter to ensure that the insects will not crawl. Cicada will become an adult from the date of sowing 15- 18 months.
Six,
It is suggested that cicada eggs are mainly collected from ash strips and fruit branches, and cicada egg larvae feed on the juice of plant roots, so it is best to choose multiple zones when burying. Each branch contains 100-400 cicada eggs, so every acre of land
500-800 branches are appropriate to ensure the survival rate. By planting golden cicada in this way, the original growth period of 3- 15 years is advanced to 18 months, the incubation period is increased from the original year to about 35 days, and the survival rate is reduced from.
The original 6% has increased to 30%-60%. So it is especially suitable for farming in rural areas.
Nowadays, the price of golden cicada has been rising all the way, and golden cicada has also been served on the dining tables of large and small hotels. The prospects are good. The survival rate of golden cicadas planted by this method is high, which can survive about100000 if the minimum survival rate per mu is 30%.
