Now is the time when the first batch of cocoons are harvested in spring, in Zhenba, Shaanxi Province At the silkworm cocoon purchase point in Guanyin Town, County, business entities and silkworm farmers have successively sent the white silkworm cocoons to the purchase point for “delivery” and exchanged them for “red tickets” that can make them rich. I saw silkworm farmers queuing up in an orderly manner, and purchasers were busy checking and accepting, weighing, issuing invoices, and warehousing. The scene was full of people, filled with deep joy of harvest.
“In the past, we raised silkworms ourselves, and it took about 30 days to produce them. Harvest, now through the co-breeding of small silkworms, the silkworm eggs are raised for us, we get the silkworm seedlings and raise them directly, and we can harvest in about 15 days. In the past, we could only raise an average of 2 to 3 batches per year, but now we can raise them in a year Raising 6 batches.” Zhang Jie, the main sericulture business owner in Chinan Town, said happily. At a glance, his silkworm room is neatly hung with square clusters filled with white silkworm cocoons.
”I raised 20 silkworms in the first batch this spring I produced 1,015 kilograms of fresh cocoons and sold them for 53,990 yuan. With such good benefits, I will expand the scale of sericulture in the future to strive for greater economic benefits.” Speaking of the benefits brought by sericulture breeding, Kang Xiangzhao, the main sericulture business owner in Guanyin Town The joy is beyond words.
A good harvest of silkworm cocoons is inseparable from the efforts of all parties. In order to overcome the impact of the recent low temperature and rainy weather on spring silkworms, the technical staff of the Silkworm Technology Station used a combination of online and offline methods to guide the silkworm farmers to do technical work such as warming up the silkworm chambers, feeding mulberry evenly, and dehumidifying the square clusters. , at the same time, through the implementation of various methods such as optimization of silkworm breeds and co-breeding of young silkworms, the disease resistance of young silkworms has been greatly improved, ensuring the smooth spinning of silkworms on clusters and ensuring fresh cocoons Qualityand yield are not affected.
So far, the first batch of spring cocoons have been harvested , the average yield reached a record high of 50 kilograms, the cocoon production rate is high, the color is white, and the cocoon quality is excellent. The price of cocoons has also risen to a maximum of 58 yuan/kg. Silkworm farmers are all smiling, welcoming the spring cocoon harvest.
