What is the temperature at which silkworms grow?

Silkworms are insects that are very sensitive to ambient temperature. Its growth and development are greatly affected by temperature. The following is a detailed introduction to the growth temperature of silkworms:

Suitable temperature:

Egg stage: During the egg stage, the suitable incubation temperature is 25-28 degrees Celsius. Temperatures that are too high or too low will affect the hatchability of eggs.

Larval stage: The larval stage requires a relatively high temperature, generally between 25-30 degrees Celsius. Within this temperature range, the appetite and growth rate of silkworms are ideal.

Pupa stage: In the pupa stage, the temperature should generally be maintained between 20-25 degrees Celsius.

Influence:

Harsh temperatures will affect the growth and development speed of silkworms, even lead to the breeding of diseases, affecting the yield and quality of silkworms.

Both high and low temperatures may have adverse effects on silkworms, such as affecting the quality and quantity of silkworm cocoons, and even leading to reduced production or death of silkworm groups.

Control Method:

Temperature control: During the breeding process of silkworms, the indoor temperature should be controlled as much as possible to avoid the impact of bad weather on silkworms.

Insulation facilities: In the cold season, heating equipment can be set up to maintain a stable temperature in the silkworm room; in the hot season, ventilation and cooling measures should be taken to ensure the growth environment of silkworms.

In general, silkworms have a narrow adaptation range to temperature, and temperature control is very important for the growth and development of silkworms and the quality of cocoon silk. Farmers need to maintain appropriate temperatures in the silkworm chamber through various methods to increase silkworm production and cocoon silk quality.
