CATDOLL : CATDOLL: When is the season for raising silkworms?

1. When is the season for silkworms?

Spring begins

The most common one is the silkworm, also known as the domestic silkworm, which is one of the economic insects that feeds on mulberry leaves and spins silk cocoons. The silkworm originated in China, and its development temperature is 7-40℃, and the optimal temperature for breeding is 20-30℃.

The life cycle of a silkworm goes through the stages of egg - larva - mature silkworm - cocoon - silk moth, a total of more than forty days.

2. What is the best season for raising 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.

3. What is the season for raising silkworms?

Answer: Silkworms are usually raised in spring and summer. The growth cycle of silkworms should be roughly the same as that of mulberry trees to ensure an adequate supply of mulberry leaves. Silkworms are metamorphosed insects, and the most common one is the mulberry silkworm, also known as the domestic silkworm, which is one of the economic insects that feeds on mulberry leaves and spins silk cocoons.

4. Silkworm breeding season?

Sericulture is generally carried out in spring and summer. Sericulture is an important skill of the working people in ancient my country. The method of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms was invented by Leizu, the wife of Huangdi. Sericulture can eventually produce an important silk product, namely: silk. Silk occupies an important position in human economic life and cultural history. The main commodity of the famous historical event of the Silk Road was silk.

5. Which month should the silkworms be released and harvested?

The silkworm-raising season is generally spring and summer every year. Since the main food of silkworms is mulberry leaves, the silkworm-raising season and the mulberry tree growth cycle need to be basically consistent to ensure sufficient mulberry leaves.

In the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, theoretically, silkworms can be raised during the eight months from April to November, but only 3-5 times a year. In the sericulture areas of the Pearl River Basin, silkworms are raised more frequently than in the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In some sericulture areas around the Yellow River or in the north, silkworms are raised less frequently than in the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

6. What is the specific time for raising silkworms?

Silkworms are generally raised in the summer, which is roughly the same as the growth cycle of mulberry trees, to ensure an adequate supply of mulberry leaves.

Silkworm (scientific name: Bombyx mori) is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. It is the main source of silk and plays an important role in human economic life and cultural history. It is native to China and is commonly known as silkworm or nymph in southern China and Taiwan.

The silkworm is called "silkworm" in English because it uses silk to make cocoons. A cocoon is made from a strand of silk that is 300-900 meters long. Today, my country's silk production and exports account for more than 70% of the world's total, and it has become a major silk country that can dominate the world's silk price trend.

7. What is the best season for raising silkworms?

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.

8. Which month do we start raising silkworms?

Around April.

Generally speaking, silkworm breeding starts around April each year, specifically in spring and summer. Since the main food source for silkworms is mulberry leaves, the breeding of silkworms 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.

In the sericulture areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, silkworms can theoretically be raised during the eight months from April to November each year, but generally only 3-5 times.

9. In which season are silkworms born?

To be honest, silkworms are usually born in April. There are mainly two situations. If they are dormant eggs, they need to wait until the second year to hatch. Of course, if they are non-detained eggs, they can hatch in April of the same year. If you want them to be produced that year, light and high temperature are very important. First, put the eggs in a paper box and keep the temperature at about 27 to 28 degrees, or you can put them under the light, but pay attention to the distance from the light, and also ensure the humidity.
