The Correct Breeding Method for Golden Silkworms
This article introduces the correct breeding methods for golden silkworms, including how to breed golden silkworms and how to raise them. The following editor will introduce them to you.
1. Choosing Breeding Trees: Cicadas cannot grow without trees, so it is necessary to choose dwarf breeding trees, such as apricot trees, peach trees, apple trees, or other wax dwarf shrub varieties. It is also necessary to trim the overgrown branches in time and interplant fruit tree seedlings in the gaps between trees to increase the branches for cicadas to lay eggs.
2. Building Breeding Greenhouses: When cicadas are about to emerge from the soil, build breeding greenhouses in areas with convenient irrigation and drainage. Usually, an area of one mu (1/6 acre) is suitable. It is also necessary to set up a fence around the breeding area using cement poles or bamboo stakes, with bamboo poles set up in the middle and then secured with wire, and covered with nylon window screen mesh on the outside.
3. Insect Management and Epidemic Prevention: After the cicadas emerge from the soil, as the adults have a strong phototactic nature, it is necessary to wait until the cicadas have molted into adults before entering the greenhouse. You can catch the cicadas that emerged in the week before and after 7 days, you can let the cicadas naturally molt and lay eggs. Generally, 10,000 cicadas are raised per mu per month, with males and females accounting for about 50% each. Each female cicada can lay 500-1,500 eggs. Each greenhouse can raise 20 mu of cicadas. After 20 days of molting, the cicadas can mate and lay eggs. When laying eggs, the cicadas pierce the epidermis of the branches and lay eggs in the xylem. When the cicadas are laying eggs, staff should avoid walking and talking loudly in the greenhouse to prevent adverse effects on the cicadas. At the same time, after the cicadas emerge from the soil, protective measures inside the greenhouse should be taken to prevent potential hazards from toads, sparrows, mantises, ants, red flower bugs, white muscardine fungus, and green muscardine fungus.
4. Harvesting and Storing Eggs: In addition to naturally collecting cicada eggs, you can also set up net greenhouses to provide a space for adults to lay eggs. You can replant fruit trees in abandoned orchards and use them to plant fruit tree seedlings, set up fences with cement poles or bamboo stakes, pull wire, and then cover the outside with nylon window screen mesh. Molted or collected adults can mate and lay eggs inside, and later, the number of adults can be retained as needed without collecting seeds from the wild. September is the best season for harvesting cicada eggs in the breeding greenhouses. The trees that have died due to egg-laying, which are 1-2 years old, thin, dry, and have an incomplete surface with a large number of white, oblong eggs embedded in the subcutaneous xylem, are the cicada eggs. Leave a 5-10 cm section of the branch without eggs below the egg-laying nest mark, tie 50-100 branches into a small bundle and place them flat in the hatching room. After natural treatment, they can be used as seeds.
