Hechi Yizhou Mulberry Garden Management and Maintenance Implements Digital Transformation

On September 2nd, in the Liu Sanjie High Efficiency Ecological Silkworm Industry (Core) Demonstration Zone in Desheng Town, Desheng Town, Hechi City, Guangxi, the mulberry trees grew gratifyingly, and the mulberry sea stretched as far as the eye could see. Mulberry farmers are busy picking mulberry leaves.

“Nowadays, mulberry tree management and maintenance are becoming more and more technological, with large leaves and less insect pests, cocoons with quality, and naturally good prices.” Mulberry farmer Wei Ping told reporters , his words revealed his joy at the increased production and income from silkworm breeding this year.

In recent years, Yizhou District has implemented science and technology policies to benefit farmers, actively explored new models for the renovation and construction of low-yield mulberry gardens, and done a good job in pest and disease control. The mulberry silkworm production has been significantly improved, injecting scientific and technological vitality into the mulberry silkworm industry.

“We use the smart mulberry garden management and protection model to carry out full digital management and protection through the Liyuanbao smart agriculture and forestry management and protection platform. We use the mulberry garden ridge breaking fertilization technology to increase the application of organic and inorganic ecological formula fertilizers, and use smart fertilizer applicators and The bracelet carries out precise fertilization to achieve the goal of improving quality and efficiency.” Li Zhengyi, deputy general manager of Guangxi Woze Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which is engaged in the development and promotion of agricultural technology, said. It is understood that the Liyuanbao smart agriculture and forestry management and protection platform is equipped with hardware tools such as smart fertilizer spreaders, smart bracelets/work badges, etc., and has functions such as automatic weighing and weight deviation alarms, geographical information positioning, fertilization information reporting, trajectory uploading, and photo taking. Forming a new digital model of agriculture and forestry cloud management and protection with “measurable output, visible management, and controllable operations”. This model changes the existing traditional management and protection methods. Users do not need extensive experience to accurately evaluate, accurately fertilize, intelligently manage and protect, increase production and efficiency, reduce costs and increase income.

With practical experience, since 2021, Yizhou District has vigorously carried out publicity, mobilization and technical training demonstration work on the transformation of low-yield mulberry orchards, and implemented low-yield mulberry orchards in 11 towns including Shibie Town, Desheng Town, and Liu Sanjie Town. Reconstruction project. The government organized the leaders and technicians of companies and township mulberry professional cooperatives to clean mulberry stems and weeds, dig ditches, fertilize, and apply buds in mulberry orchards. They also explained mulberry orchard management and protection techniques on-site to provide cocoonSilkprovides support for high-quality development.

“In the first half of this year, we took the lead in organizing the upgrading and renovation of low-yield mulberry gardens. In early July, we guided mulberry farmers to carry out summer cutting of mulberry trees, spraying pesticides and fertilizing the mulberry trees. Now it is the mulberry leaf picking period, and our main work is Prevent and control pests and diseases to ensure that silkworms can eat high-quality mulberry leaves. In a while, the first batch of silkworm cocoons in the second half of this year will be on the market, which is also the time to test the results of upgrading and transforming our low-yielding mulberry gardens.” Technical staff of the district’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau Chen Aijun said.

Pests and diseases are also one of the main reasons affecting mulberry leaf yield. In accordance with the overall idea of ”raising the head, gathering talents, making up for shortcomings, and reforming mechanisms”, the district has carried out in-depth guidance on pest and disease prevention and control, and has done a good job in the prevention and control of silkworm pests and diseases. Further consolidate the results of the integrated pilot reform of local cocoon and silk quality improvement. Since the reform, mulberry orchard diseases and insect pests in the district have been effectively controlled, the incidence of silkworm diseases and insect pests has been greatly reduced, the yield and quality of silkworm cocoons have been effectively improved, and farmers’ income from silkworm raising has increased significantly. Since the beginning of this year, the district has carried out 17 sericulture technical trainings and on-site guidance, organized agricultural technicians to go to the countryside to distribute pesticides on site, and went to villages to carry out drone spraying prevention and control work, effectively improving the safe use of pesticides among farmers and promoting mulberry trees. Reduce the use of pesticides in planting and promote the green and high-quality development of the silkworm industry.

It is understood that the current mulberry planting area in Yizhou District is 393,000 acres, accounting for 13.09% of the mulberry garden area in Guangxi, covering 16 towns and 211 villages (communities). There are 100,000 sericulture farmers with 456,000 households, accounting for 13.09% of the mulberry garden area in the district. 89.4% of the population. There are 165 small silkworm co-breeding households in the district, with a co-breeding rate of more than 86%; 36 sericulture farmer cooperatives, raising 1.55 million silkworms, producing 75,000 tons of fresh cocoons, and an output value of 3.4 billion yuan. Farmers The per capita income from sericulture is more than 7,500 yuan, and 8,694 households have been lifted out of poverty by sericulture, accounting for 52% of the households in the district that have been lifted out of poverty.
