Weiping Town, Chunan, Zhejiang: Industrial Extension &Nbsp; Silkworm Breeding Base Opened Up For Sightseeing Garden.

Weiping town is located in the northwestern part of Chunan, Zhejiang. The main area is mountain and arable land.

A mulberry tree is a treasure.

Mulberry leaves can rearing silkworms and cocoons. Mulberry branches can develop edible fungi, and the excrement of silkworms can be used for biogas generation and recycling.

Jiang Xifang, the party secretary of the town, told reporters: "now, planting mulberry and raising silkworms is Weiping town.

Farmer Xu Lilin is an ordinary villager in Fenghuang Village.

He told reporters that he had raised thirteen beds of silkworms this year, according to twenty thousand silkworms in each bed.

The output of cocoon produced in this season is 1120 Jin, which can earn about twenty thousand yuan a year.

"Mulberry leaves eaten by silkworms are planted in our own homes, and the remaining mulberry branches are sold to the cooperatives in the village. In the past, no burned mulberry branches were sold for 0.15 yuan per catty," Xu Lilin said.

In addition to the traditional sericulture industry, Weiping town is pregnant with a derivative industry, which is neglected by local villagers in the past.

Speaking of edible fungi, Lishui can be said to be the main breeding place for edible fungi.

All the cultivated edible fungi are cultivated on the local hardwood.

However, with local control of the cutting of linden trees.

Nowadays, many people in Lishui who are proficient in edible fungi cultivation technology begin to develop in the field.

There are reasons for the development of edible fungi in Weiping town.

Wang Weifang, an investigator of Weiping town government, made an experiment for villagers to cook the edible fungus cultivated by common hardwood and the practical bacteria cultivated with mulberry branches.

The results showed that the mouthfeel of mulberry branches was very tender and soaked for a short time.

He said: "like this kind of weather, the ordinary hardwood cultivated edible fungus letinous edodes needs to soak for 1 hours, while the mulberry branch's edible fungus letinous edodes only needs 20 minutes."

"We collected the mulberry twig and made it into a fungus stick to cultivate edible fungi and letinous edodes.

More than 100 pounds of bacteria sticks can sell about 3000000.

Jin Yuanqing said.

At present, the large-scale local edible fungus cultivation in Weiping town is mainly based on outsiders such as Lishui. However, as an investment promotion project in Weiping Town, this technology will soon be popularized in Weiping town.

Take Kim yen Ching, his technology will soon be replicated to more than 500 local farmers.

In addition to the development of characteristic agriculture, the development of tourists' experiential sightseeing tour is another way of development in Weiping Town: 2011 - 2015, Weiping town will develop a demonstration park for leisure and sightseeing.
