Jiangsu Rugao Silkworm Industry Is Not Optimistic.

In May 20th this year, the temperature dropped from more than 30 degrees to 12.6 degrees in Rugao.

The huge temperature difference has a great impact on the growth and development of silkworm. There are silkworms, body twists, food and even death.

However, this is the beginning of disaster.

When spring cocoons were bought, the towns encountered large areas of spring silkworms without cocoons.

Sun Lv, the 12 group of villagers in Zhang Zhuang village, Gaoming Town, is 61 years old. He began to raise silkworms in the 90s of last century.

5 spring silkworms, the old couple had been busy for a month and thought that the harvest was in sight.

In October 11th, autumn cocoons were listed.

Chai Wan Town double floor cocoon Station's purchaser told reporters that in previous years, usually two or three people or used small tricycles to sell cocoons, almost all of them were sent this year.

"Autumn silkworm has many diseases."

"Silkworms are becoming more and more difficult to maintain, and prices are not stable."

"Never encountered such a famine year as this year."

The silkworm farmers kept talking and sighing.

Numerous "natural disasters" have made many silkworm farmers "fail" all year round.

In addition to its ability to resist natural risks, sericulture is also facing difficulties in popularizing science and technology.

The picture shows sericultural technicians helping silkworms to control diseases and pests in mulberry garden.

"Thanks to Mr. Xu, otherwise this harvest will not dare to think of it!" Huang Yongqin, a sericultural resident in the Zhouzhuang community of Gaoming Town, said that the spring silkworms did not cocoon and their families were not immune. In order to make up for the losses, the old couple kept 3 more autumn silkworms.

"I was so worried that I didn't catch up. I almost collapsed on the floor."

Just now, Xu Mei, a senior agronomist at sericultural technical guidance Station in the village, arrived in time, instructing his hands to sterilize, isolate and nourish.

The old model encountered new problems and recalled the ups and downs of raising silkworms in the past year. Huang Yongqin said: "at that time, I was really in a state of mind. Only when we saw the agricultural technicians were we settled down."

Huang Yongqin's words refer to the hearts of silkworm farmers.

Gaoming town Zhouzhuang community is a professional demonstration village (community) of sericulture production in our city and a high yield mulberry base in Nantong.

In recent years, the technical service problem of sericulture has become more and more prominent.

At present, there are few full-time sericultural technicians in villages and towns.

On the one hand, silkworm farmers are eager to use practical technology, but on the other hand, grassroots agricultural technology extension is increasingly weak.

How to solve the problem of popularizing and popularizing the "last mile" of agricultural technology, Xue Weidong, the director of the sericultural technology guidance station, sees in his eyes and is anxious in his heart, but he can't help it.

In his view, the lack of sericultural technicians in towns and villages is also a microcosm of the whole rural service system at the grass-roots level. Without strong agricultural technology contingent, it is difficult to implement the strategy of developing agriculture through science and technology.
