CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When does the silkworm breeding season start? (When does the silkworm breeding season start?)

1. Which month is it best to raise silkworms?

March-June.

The most suitable time for raising silkworms is generally March in spring and May and June in summer.

March is the time when mulberry leaves sprout and grow leaves. Spring silkworms at this time have tender mulberry leaves to eat. With sufficient mulberry leaves to feed on, the silkworms grow bigger and fatter.

2. What is the season for raising silkworms?

1. Silkworms are usually raised in spring and summer, which is roughly the same as the growth cycle of mulberry trees, to ensure sufficient supply of mulberry leaves. Prepare food: Mulberry leaves must be washed with clean water and dried before feeding. Do not feed silkworms with yellow and rotten leaves, otherwise the silkworms will be poisoned or have diarrhea. In order to prevent the excess leaves from wilting quickly, put them in a plastic bag, tie the bag tightly, and place it in a cool place.

2. Feed the silkworms with leaves 4 times a day, early in the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, and at night. The amount should be appropriate each time to avoid waste. You can put more leaves at night because the silkworms eat mulberry leaves all night. Ant silkworms should be fed with young leaves, and the leaves are best cut into pieces or strips.

3. Clean up the feces and leftover leaves frequently: When changing leaves for the silkworms, you can directly cover the old leaves with new leaves, and remove the old leaves after the silkworms have crawled onto the new leaves. This can reduce the casualties of the silkworms and facilitate the removal of leftover leaves and silkworm feces.

4. Do not spray pesticides in the silkworm room as this will harm the silkworms.

3. When to raise silkworms?

The silkworm breeding period is generally from April to November, that is, from the time when mulberry leaves sprout and open to the time when mulberry leaves turn yellow and fall off. It takes about 40-50 days for silkworms to transform from eggs into moths, which is related to factors such as temperature, humidity, and feeding in the growing environment.

4. Which month is it best to raise silkworms?

1. Generally speaking, the season for raising silkworms is spring and summer every year (starting around April each year). Since the main food source for silkworms is mulberry leaves, the season for raising silkworms and the growth cycle of mulberry trees need to be roughly the same to ensure that there are enough mulberry leaves to feed the silkworms.

2. The season of sericulture is related to the region. In the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, theoretically, sericulture can be carried out during the eight months from April when mulberry trees sprout and open leaves to November when mulberry leaves turn yellow and fall off, but generally only 3-5 times a year. The sericulture areas in the Pearl River Basin raise sericulture more frequently than those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, while some sericulture areas around the Yellow River or in the north raise sericulture less frequently than those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

5. What is the best season for raising silkworms?

Silkworm breeding time: Usually, silkworm breeding takes place in spring and summer (starting around April each year). Because silkworms mainly feed on mulberry leaves, the breeding of silkworms needs to be closely related to the growth cycle of mulberry trees.

6. When and how can we raise silkworms?

In addition to winter, spring, summer and autumn are all possible. Generally speaking, as long as there are mulberry leaves, silkworms can be raised. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions of my country, silkworms can be raised in spring, summer and autumn except winter. In the silkworm areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, silkworms can be raised within 8 months from April when mulberry trees sprout and open leaves to November when mulberry leaves turn yellow and fall off.

During the growth and development of silkworms, the temperature of the surrounding environment is relatively high. From the hatching of silkworm seeds to the final cocooning, the temperature in the silkworm room needs to be controlled at 24-28℃. Of course, the temperature control needs to be slightly adjusted according to the different silkworm stages. During the 1-5 years of silkworms, if the temperature in the silkworm room is lower than 20℃, the silkworms will obviously slow down their feeding of mulberry leaves, and large and small silkworms are likely to appear; if the temperature in the silkworm room is higher than 30℃, the silkworms will appear irritable and restless. In addition, when the relative humidity in the silkworm room is greater than 90% and the silkworm feces are thick, it is easy for bacteria to breed in the silkworm seat, thereby inducing a variety of silkworm diseases and causing great losses to farmers. Therefore, during the entire silkworm period, the temperature and humidity in the silkworm room must be strictly controlled to create a relatively good growth environment for the silkworms, avoid the phenomenon of hot and cold, and the indoor temperature can only fluctuate within a small range.

7. Which season is suitable for raising silkworms?

Spring or Summer

Answer 1. Silkworm rearing time: Generally, silkworm rearing takes place in spring and summer (starting around April). Silkworms mainly feed on mulberry leaves, so silkworm rearing needs to be basically consistent with the growth cycle of mulberry trees, so that there are enough mulberry leaves for silkworms to eat. 2. Silkworm rearing frequency: In Jiangsu and Zhejiang silkworm regions, silkworm rearing can be carried out theoretically from April to November each year, but generally only 3-5 times.

8. What season is suitable for raising silkworms?

Generally speaking, silkworm rearing starts around April each year, specifically in spring and summer. Since the main food source for silkworms is mulberry leaves, the silkworm rearing needs to be basically consistent with the growth cycle of mulberry trees, so as to ensure that there are enough fresh mulberry leaves for the silkworms to eat.
