Recently, in the intelligent silkworm room of Jiangsu Canyuan Seed Industry Co., Ltd., chubby “silkworm babies” lay on rows of drawer-type mobile silkworm tables. On the circular bamboo frame, workers are cleaning the remaining mulberry leaves and silkworm excrement.
Sericulture is Haian’s specialty industry. In recent years, Hai’an has used sericulture technological innovation as the driving force and industrial structure adjustment as the starting point to implement the “building a farm, organizing a cooperative, and linking farmers” sericulture farm development model , becoming a model for moderately large-scale sericulture operations across the country.
Haian has introduced modern and efficient sericulture advanced equipment such as intelligent sericulture machines, far-infrared male and female identification machines, and large-space temperature and humidity control systems to make the silkworm breeding process intelligent and production refined, using “hard-core” new machines and tools Empowering the traditional sericulture industry to “break out of the cocoon and be reborn”.
In the future, Haian will introduce four to five more sets of smart equipment to increase the number of seeds issued from 100,000 to nearly 500,000, further expanding the domestic silkworm seed market.
Protected more than 40 mulberry species resources, more than 20 designated silkworm germplasm resources in Jiangsu Province, and more than 30 material silkworm species. Jiangsu Canyuan Seed Industry Co., Ltd. is responsible for the protection of silkworm germplasm resources, silkworm seed production, silkworm seed cold storage, scientific research and testing, silkworm variety selection and conservation, etc. It cultivates four phases of silkworm seeds every year and can supply 80,000 high-quality silkworm seeds throughout the year. Multiple, while cultivating new varieties according to market demand.
“At present, we are mainly breeding Jingsong × Haoyue first-generation hybrid varieties. The silkworms of this variety are easy to feed and have high silk quality. They are favored by sericulture farmers and silk companies. “Preference.” Zhang Jianhua, a senior agronomist at Jiangsu Canyuan Seed Industry Company, calculated that each of the introduced intelligent sericulture machines can produce 20,000 first-generation hybrid seeds per year. Based on 4 seeds per household, this can be produced in one year. Driven 5,000 villagers to generate income of 40 million yuan.
Hai’an has a long history of sericulture production. It is one of the six major sericulture counties (cities) in the province and is nationally renowned as the “Hometown of Cocoon and Silk” and “Hometown of Lake Mulberry”.
“Currently, our city has 66,000 acres of mulberry gardens, with 140,000 seeds produced annually and 8,500 tons of silkworm cocoons produced. The annual sales revenue of Haian’s cocoon and silk industry exceeds 10 billion yuan, and silkworm farmers’ cocoon revenue is nearly 300 million yuan.” Haian Huang Junming, director of the Municipal Sericulture Station, said.
