Mid and late autumn silkworm eggs in Xiuzhou District

The main reasons are:

First, the cocoon price factor. The price of spring cocoons this year is only about 1550 yuan per load, which is about 650 yuan a year, down by nearly 650 from 2200 yuan a year, and the decline of cocoon price has seriously affected the enthusiasm of the broad masses of sericulture farmers to cultivate silkworms.

The cost factor mainly includes two aspects, on the one hand, the cost of agricultural materials is rising. According to the preliminary investigation, the cost of mulberry mulberry sericulture is mainly the silkworm medicine with chemical fertilizer, pesticide and disinfection and disease prevention. The cost of the silkworm medicine has increased by about 10%, and the labor cost has gone up even more. At present, a male laborer is working for about 80~100 yuan a day, and the female labor work is about 60~80 yuan a day, and the labor cost ratio is about 20% higher than that of last year.

The three is labor factor. Sericulture is a labor-intensive industry. Because traditional sericulture production is "bitter, dirty and tired", most young people in the countryside do not want to engage in sericulture work, and do not want to learn mulberry silkworm breeding technology. Sericulture farmers who are engaged in sericulture are aging gradually.

Therefore, the problem of labor has also become an important factor restricting the development of silkworm mulberry production, and silkworm and mulberry production after the lack of people.

Four is the area factor. The mulberry garden leaf area obviously reduced. This year because of the high speed railway and the expressway two sides greening reduce the mulberry garden about 500 acres. Last year, since the end of the autumn silkworm, the silkworm farmers have cut down the mulberry garden to reduce fruits and seedlings, and add some other basic construction land. In less than 1 years, the Xiuzhou area has reduced the mulberry garden area by more than 1000 mu.

The five is environmental factors. Silkworms are very sensitive and require high environmental requirements. Air or mulberry leaves contain trace harmful substances that can affect silkworms.

In recent years, due to the impact of global warming, rice and other crop diseases and insect pests have increased significantly, and the number of insect pests in late rice has increased significantly, leading to the widespread use of pesticides.

In addition, the mulberry garden itself has many pests and diseases in autumn, and it should be treated many times. Therefore, autumn silkworms are easy to cause micro pesticide poisoning.

At the same time, the autumn silkworm season is not only characterized by high temperature, but also poor quality of mulberry leaves, which is easy to cause silkworm diseases. This is also one of the main factors that reduce the order of autumn silkworms.

The six factor is the external silkworm eggs. Because of the restructuring of the overseas silkworm farms and the factors such as oversupply of silkworm eggs this autumn, the number of silkworm traffickers has increased greatly. Many silkworm traffickers have ignored the regulations on silkworm eggs management in Zhejiang Province, and tried every possible means to sell the silkworm eggs to Xiuzhou district through improper channels, which affected the normal supply of silkworm eggs in Xiuzhou area.
