Spring silkworm breeding begins in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, and “silkworm babies” thrive
In the past few days, spring silkworm breeding in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province has begun, and the newly hatched “silkworm babies” are in the growth stage. In order to improve the survival rate of silkworm babies, farmers dare not relax for a moment. Come and see what kind of “care” the delicate silkworm babies receive.
Farmer Lu Qizheng said: “Spread the silkworms and expand the seats. The silkworms (density) are a bit thick now. Spread them thinner so they can eat evenly and grow better.”
In the Sericulture Village of Buzi Town, Sucheng District, Suqian City, farmer Lu Qizheng is feeding mulberry leaves to silkworm babies. The young silkworms are now in their second instar, about the size of a mosquito, and are twisting and turning among the mulberry leaves. At this time, the young silkworms are growing and developing rapidly and are very important to thequalityRequirements are high.
Farmer Lu Qizheng said: “In the second instar, we should pay attention to disease prevention. Don’t let the silkworms eat leaves with water. We usually use some lime or spread chaff.”
Lu Qizheng feeds the silkworms twice a day, morning and evening. Since the resistance of the silkworms is weak at this time, they need to be disinfected every time they enter and leave the silkworm breeding room, and they must pay special attention to the indoor temperature.
Farmer Lu Qizheng said: “At the current age, the temperature must be between 76-78 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep this temperature and it will develop normally. If you want low temperature, it will not eat leaves. If you want high temperature, it will It’s growing fast.”
After eating the mulberry leaves, the silkworm babies are about to go into hibernation. When they wake up again, they can enter the third instar. Lu Qizheng told reporters that he breeds silkworms for breeding, which are divided into two varieties: Chinese and Japanese. After they grow up and mature, the two types of silkworms are hybridized to produce high-quality silkworms for silk, which are then sold. Now one silkworm seed can produce about 200 silkworm seeds.
This is already the 20th year that Lu Qizheng has been raising silkworms. Currently, the silkworms are healthy and the growth situation is gratifying. In less than two months, he will harvest the first batch of silkworm seeds this year, laying the foundation for the future. Prepare for autumn silkworm breeding.
Farmer Lu Qizheng said: “I am a breeder, and the common people are a cocoon seller. It took nearly 55 days from greening, to collecting ants, to raising silkworms, and finally to seed production.”
It is understood that this year, the Sericulture Village of Buzi Town, Sucheng District began distributing silkworm seeds to farmers on May 2. A total of 3,500 tickets were distributed, more than 100 more than last year. Before spring silkworm seeds were released, professionals from the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau were invited to provide guidance and training on spring silkworm disease prevention and breeding.
Lu Qi, Secretary of the Party Committee of Sericulture Village, Buzi Town, Sucheng District, said: “Our average silkworm output last year was 92.5 kilograms, and the benefit from one acre of land reached 3,600 yuan. This year, the weather is very good, and there are not many pests. This year’s output is expected to be higher than last year’s output.”
