At present, the farmers who make money in sericulture industry have strong economic strength and stable sales channels, so the general working class is not suitable for sericulture industry. Under normal circumstances, two sericulture farmers get up early and work in the dark for a month, and the output reaches 100 Jin, and the income is about 2500 yuan. If the output is insufficient or silkworm disease occurs, the income will be even lower, not as good as other industries.
However, if sericulture in greenhouses is adopted now, the scale and industrialization of production will have more advantages than the traditional sericulture industry. It separates people from rooms and plants on a large scale, and reduces labor costs by using modern technology. At the same time, it is easier to disinfect and prevent diseases in the greenhouse, which reduces the occurrence of silkworm diseases; Raising silkworms in greenhouses also improves the output of cocoons, so the economic benefits are higher. Under normal circumstances, it is relatively easy to master the corresponding breeding technology. The annual income of sericulture in greenhouse can reach 200,000 yuan, but the early research and production investment also need a lot of time and money.
Spring silkworms began to be cultured in late April and can be harvested in about 27 days. Silkworms in late autumn are basically raised in early September, and can be harvested in early June at 65438+ 10. The main investment in sericulture is to eat mulberry leaves, that is, to invest in mulberry trees, a mulberry seedling and 0.3 yuan. One acre of land can plant 1450 trees. Generally, seven years is a cycle. Mulberry has an average annual investment of 63 yuan/mu and 55 yuan per kilogram of cocoon. An acre of mulberry trees can harvest about 1.4 kilograms of cocoon, so an acre of land can earn more than 7500 yuan a year.
You can also plant mulberry trees to raise silkworms, and then you can harvest mulberry fruits. Silkworms can be profitable at home, and they can get rich without going out to work.
Although sericulture can make money, it should be based on scientific breeding methods adapted to local conditions. For example, if you have a mountainous area of returning farmland to forests, you can plant some mulberry trees, or you should rely on hard work. Silkworm rearing is tedious and time-consuming, but as long as you like this job, you can get rich by science and hard work.
