In Longjing village, Weilong Town, Chongqing, a cocoon farmer picks it up.

On the other side, he sighed and said, "the silkworm that has lived for the most part of his life is only seen this year. This is amazing!"

"This kind of silkworm is easy to raise, not so cheap as ordinary silkworms. I hardly use any medicine."

The cocoon farmer happily told the cadres in charge of agriculture in the town that her family had raised 2 colored cocoon silkworms, probably picking up 90 Jin of cocoons. According to the average cocoon price, the family could earn 2700 yuan.

according to

Sun Xianju, director of silkworm industry center of Tongliang County, introduced that the research on color cocoon silkworm breeding was a scientific research project carried out by Southwestern University Key Laboratory of sericulture in Tongliang, Chongqing.

Last year, it was successfully tested in Da Miao Town. This year, it was popularized in Longjing village of Weilong town and large silkworm rearing households in the town of Xiao Yun. A batch of trial breeding was carried out, and 30 silkworm cocoons and silkworms were produced. All of them were ordered by the Key Laboratory of sericulture of Southwestern University.

Colorful cocoons are red, yellow, green and many other colors. Currently, gold and yellowish silkworm eggs are popularized in Tongliang county.

"The price per kilogram of colored cocoons is 2~3 yuan higher than that of ordinary white cocoons.

Therefore, farmers will have higher income from raising colored cocoon silkworms than raising ordinary white cocoons.

Sun Xianju added that the yield of colored cocoons is generally higher than that of ordinary white cocoons. Roughly calculated, raising a colorful cocoon silkworm can increase farmers' income by one hundred or two hundred yuan.

The latest research shows that the natural colored silk extracted from colored cocoons is soft and bright, and has good antibacterial and antibacterial properties.

Make use of this natural colored silk.

It can avoid the harm of various chemical residues to the human body in the process of fabric processing, and also avoid the water pollution caused by printing and dyeing.
