Recently, more than 40 acres of morels in the Mulberry Garden Morel Cultivation Demonstration Base in Shiquan County, Shaanxi Province have been well managed. The primordia are generally well differentiated, the mycelium grows quickly, is neat and dense, and the growth is gratifying.
In recent years, Shiquan County has closely followed the sustainable and healthy development of the sericulture industry, organically combined the transformation and upgrading of the industry with the increase of people’s income and wealth, made full use of resource advantages, and led the people to continuously Explore the new “sericulture +” production and operation model. Interplanting morels in mulberry orchards can not only increase farmers’ income, but plowing the soil when planting morels can also help the roots of the mulberry trees fully absorb nutrients. The residues after harvest can also be pressed into green manure to increase the soil content of the mulberry orchards. The fertility not only solves the traditional planting model of low income from single-crop planting, but also promotes the stable development of sericulture and the continuous increase in farmers’ income.
Relying on the newly introduced Ankang Runzechang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shiquan County has implemented three projects in Junmin Village of Zhongchi Town, Mingxing Village of Chihe Town, and Hexin Village. At the Morchella interplanting trial demonstration site in a mulberry garden, all sowing work was completed in mid-December. Under the guidance of Zhang Honghai, an agricultural technical expert selected from Jintan District, Changzhou City, every step is strictly carried out in accordance with the “Technical Regulations for the Production of Morel Mushrooms in Southern Shaanxi Mulberry Garden” (Discussion Draft) operating procedures. So far, the morel mycelium has grown. The speed is fast, the hyphae are thick and strong. Mushrooms are expected to bloom in February, and can be harvested one crop after another until the end of April. According to the market price of morels, the price per kilogram is about 250-300 yuan, which will increase the income by at least tens of thousands of yuan per mu, and have significant economic, social and ecological benefits.
