(2) Egg collection, high-quality golden cicada eggs are an essential factor for breeding. If the farmer has a small breeding scale, he can collect the eggs by himself, but it needs to be noted that if the golden cicada eggs are not consistent in size , mixed varieties will lead to low output value and efficiency, it is best to buy from regular breeding enterprises.
(3) After collecting eggs for planting, collect the collected branches of golden cicada eggs, remove the branches, and spread a layer of sand with a temperature of 28 to 35 degrees to keep the sand moist.
A suitable stabilization can improve the survival rate and shorten the growth cycle.
Then dig a hole in the fruit tree or tree until the root hairs are dug out, put the larvae in, handle it gently, and cover it with soil.
