2. Post-harvest treatment: after collecting the branches with cicada eggs, remove the dry leaves, cut off the two ends, bundle thirty branches into a bundle, spread a layer of sand on the bottom of a big laundry basin, put the bundled branches into the basin vertically, 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: Larvae will hatch in about fifteen days. At this time, you will see some larvae crawling up and down the branches. When about 20% of the larvae hatch, they should be buried. The area with fine and soft hair roots should be selected for burying, so that the larvae can absorb nutrients from the roots, and it is best to choose the land where honeysuckle is planted.
4, sowing: digging the pit into a strip shape, wherein the depth is mainly at hairy roots, 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 hold the plant roots by themselves. Return the soil gently and slowly. Fortunately, you can't step on it after the soil, and you can't water it to keep it ventilated.
5. Harvest: If there are trees, wrap them around one meter with transparent tape to ensure that insect cicada will not climb and change. Cicadas will become adults in15-18 months from the date of sowing.
6. Tip: 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 cicada eggs100-400, so 500-800 branches per mu 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 one year to about 35 days, and the survival rate is increased from the original 6% to about 30%-60%.
