Strengthen Sericulture Industry, Sichuan Zizhong County, Pay Close Attention To Base Construction

Rapidly promoting the development of multifunctional sericulture demonstration base

Single mode to multi-functional development

In order to develop sericulture industry, we must regard the villages and towns with good geographical conditions, abundant mulberry resources, high enthusiasm of silkworm farmers, and towns with certain development potential as the first choice.

Through careful investigation, on-the-spot investigation and full demonstration, Zizhong County has made the chestnut town as a demonstration base for silkworm eggs, making it dominant in the quantity of resources and playing a leading role in quality. It plays an exemplary role in technology and promotes the comprehensive development of the sericulture industry in this county.

The mulberry tree with fruit and leaf used in the demonstration base has high practical value and economic value. It has already jumped out of the traditional single mulberry cultivation silkworm breeding mode.

Today mulberry leaves can be used to make silkworms, mulberry is a kind of high quality fruit with high nutritional value and high health care function. The jam, jelly, fruit dew beverage, mulberry paste and other drinks made from it are among the best in the world, and they can also be brew.

"At present, mulberry is not worried about sales.

Some enterprises like Mianyang and Weiyuan are willing to acquire high-quality mulberry fruit in Zizhong County, but the size of fruit mulberry base in Zizhong County is still small, and local sales are not enough.

Tan Zhong, director of the sericulture administration of Zizhong County, said mulberry bark, mulberry root and mulberry leaf could be used as medicine and health tea.

It has the functions of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fat, resisting aging, lowering cholesterol, inhibiting fat accumulation and inhibiting thrombosis. The most prominent function is to prevent and cure diabetes.

In the winter of 2011, the villagers in Jinhua village of Chestnut Township only earned more than 50 thousand yuan in selling only mulberry sticks and mulberry bark.

At present, Zizhong County has set up a sericulture Association, and has introduced a mulberry branch mushroom production enterprise, using mulberry branches as the main raw material to produce many kinds of fungi, and cultivate mulberry branches mushrooms.

"Zizhong County implements the operation mode of" company + association + base + cooperative + peasant household ", leads farmers to carry out annual production of edible fungi, and sets up awareness of" variety, quality and brand "; adopts" unified bacterial package supply, unified technology management, unified recovery of products, unified deep processing production, unified packaging sales, unified brand strategy "business mode.

Wu Qibin, deputy director of the county sericultural Administration Bureau, said: "next step is to plan the comprehensive development and utilization of mulberry fields, such as mulberry down chicken raising and mulberry intercropping, extend the sericultural industry chain, improve the comprehensive benefits of the industry, and create favorable conditions for the rapid development of sericulture in Zizhong County."

Wen Sufang is 50 years old and has over 20 years of sericulture experience.

In view of these, the sericulture administration of Zizhong County gave Wen Sufang a life of small silkworm breeding (helping other farmers to feed small silkworms).

In September 19th, when the reporter saw Wen Sufang, she just finished the disinfection work for the "shack" of the small silkworm in the two sleep period.

"Disinfection is very important at this stage. If it is not done well, the small silkworm will easily get sick."

Simple and capable Wen Sufang said, "the county sericulture administration often organizes specialized technical personnel to teach silkworm breeding techniques, which has helped me a lot.

In particular, this year's multi-purpose silkworm rearing platform not only saves energy and saves time, but also has good cocoons and high selling price, so it plans to feed two more silkworms next year.

Speaking of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, Wen Sufang said: "if it is not for the new mulberry varieties and silkworm supporting new techniques that are used in the county, there will be little income from traditional mulberry cultivation and silkworm breeding.

Besides the income of raising silkworms, the new technology also includes the proceeds of mulberry, mulberry branches and mulberry leaves.

In 2011, Wen Sufang's husband and children went out to work, and she only kept two silkworms alone.

Cocoons sold 1300 yuan / Zhang last year, 8 sold in four seasons, 10400 yuan in gross income, and 1000 yuan in total in the first season, and 4000 yuan in four seasons.

Wen Sufang said, she planted 3 mu of mulberry trees, 2 acres of land is the fruit and leaves with new mulberry varieties, harvested about 700 Jin mulberry, the market price 10 yuan / Jin, sold 7000 yuan.

"The branches of new mulberry varieties are collected and grafted."

Wen Sufang said, sold to other silkworm branches 1000 yuan; after late autumn silkworm rearing, winter mulberry leaves almost sold 1000 yuan, and mulberry branch skin bought 700 yuan.

From Wen Sufang planting mulberry and raising silkworms, we can see how Zizhong developed multi-purpose sericulture demonstration base and how to drive sericulture farmers to grow mulberry and raise silkworms to get rich.

In Jinhua village, like Wen Sufang, there are more and more sericultural farmers who grow fruit leaves and new mulberry varieties. They sell cocoons, mulberry, mulberry bark and mulberry leaves in a year, and their per capita net income can reach more than 12 thousand yuan.

After more than 2 years of development, the demonstration base of Chestnut Township has achieved initial success.

Zizhong County plans to spend 5 years, with a total investment of 4 million 720 thousand yuan, with chestnut village as the center to develop 5000 mu of surrounding radiation.

The demonstration base will achieve annual revenue of 43 million 750 thousand yuan by 2015.
