Artificial cicada raising technology

With the hot trend of raising cicadas in recent years, it has been found that the residue of cicada molting has high medicinal value, and secondly, the cicada itself is also an item with high nutritional protein. In addition, wild cicadas are caught in large numbers, and the number decreases sharply, but the market demand is still on the rise, so the demand for artificial cicadas arises. Let's learn how to raise cicadas together with Xiaobian.

1. Site preparation

Before raising cicadas, we need to find a good site for raising cicadas. Some fruit trees in the orchard can also choose places such as elm forest and willow forest. The bark of the tree species is relatively thin, and the bark is rich in branches and leaves, and the branches are relatively small and easy to attach. The soil should not be too dry and should be relatively moist, so that it is more convenient for cicada seedlings to be unearthed. The more suitable place is some fertile soil distributed along the river valley.

2. Collection and culture of egg branches

Cicadas can go to the wild to collect some branches attached with cicada eggs, hatch and cultivate them, or they can buy them themselves. When hatching, bind the branches containing eggs together, and then fill the sand to cover the branches. to maintain the humidity, spray water droplets frequently, a small number of times, each time when the surface of the sand shows the existing wettability. Cicada species will slowly hatch in the soil at this time, and when people check and find something similar to ants, they can be transplanted to the planting forest.

3. Culture management

Combine the cultivated branches with sandy soil to control the prepared roots. The pit does not need to be too deep. It is about 30 centimeters deep and should be closer to the roots. This will not cause damage to the seedlings of cicadas and facilitate the absorption of root sap by young cicadas. The management in the later stage is mainly to fertilize the trees to ensure the growth of tree species so that the young cicadas have enough nutrients. The woods should be inspected frequently, and some ant colonies or mice should be removed in time to avoid causing harm to cicadas. Every day, it is also necessary to prevent large creatures such as cattle from entering and trampling, and record the burial location of young cicadas to facilitate the management of harvest.

4. Harvest

When the cicada is mature, it will slowly unearth and climb up the tree trunk. in order to facilitate the harvest, we can make an isolation zone 30-50 cm away from the tree trunk. the width of the belt should be controlled at about 10 cm, and the surface should be smooth, so that the cicada can not climb up. You can use a thicker plastic sheet, as long as you make sure the cicada can't climb it. Cicadas are often unearthed after rain, which also hinders Rain Water's activities in the soil. Cicadas will begin to be unearthed when they are strong enough, and those who have been dry for a long time can be artificially drenched in the rain to urge them to be unearthed. The harvest of cicadas can not be finished at one time. When we harvest, we should not stop harvesting once. The harvest time can last for nearly a month or even longer.

Raising cicadas is a relatively time-consuming thing, it generally takes 2-3 years to start to make a profit, followed by a wide area of breeding grounds, which are all issues that we need to consider. Those who have this idea can refer to the above content, and you still need to make a clear investigation on the spot before you start with more details.
