The golden cicada has high requirements on temperature and humidity. When the temperature is higher than 10℃~15℃, the larvae of the golden cicada begin to forage for food. If there is too much water in the breeding ground, the golden cicada will drown or die from hypoxia, resulting in loss.

Farmers need to timely waterproof and epidemic prevention, strengthen field management.

If the temperature continues to be too low, the cicada will delay the excavation date, and the land is dry and hard, which is not conducive to cicada excavation. Therefore, the hardness of the soil and the temperature determine the time when the golden cicada is unearthed, which is generally in 6.7 months.

Fengtu Technology agricultural weather station helps managers to breed golden cicada. Integrated various sensors, real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, precipitation, soil moisture and other elements, and through the computer, LED screen, mobile phone real-time display.

The cultivation of golden cicada requires the soil to reach a depth of 30 to 50 centimeters, sunny, anti-freezing, soft and fertile soil, no pollution, and the soil should not be too dry, nor should there be too much water or stagnant water phenomenon. Ants are the biggest natural enemies of the golden cicada, and it is necessary to put suitable poisonous bait in the ant nest, as long as the drug is suitable, it will not affect the survival rate of the golden cicada.
