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. 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.

3. Can we raise silkworms in winter?

Unfortunately, silkworms cannot be raised in winter. The main food of silkworms is mulberry leaves. Mulberry trees, like most trees, shed their leaves in winter and will not sprout and grow leaves until early spring. The main seasons for raising silkworms are spring silkworms (May-June), summer silkworms (July-August) and autumn silkworms (September-October). Some areas can only raise silkworms in late autumn (end of October). Apart from this, there is no other season to raise silkworms.

4. What is the best 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.

5. When is the season for raising silkworms?

Silkworms are usually raised in spring and summer. The most important thing to note about silkworm raising is that the growth cycle should be the same as that of mulberry trees to ensure that the silkworms have enough mulberry leaves to eat. Silkworms are metamorphosed insects, and the most common ones are mulberry silkworms, also known as domestic silkworms.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Which month is it best 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.
