Features: China is the origin of the sericulture industry. Currently, China ranks first in the world in the production of silkworm cocoons, raw silk, and silk products. Sericulture is one of China's competitive industries in agriculture on a global scale. The development of the sericulture industry not only has a significant impact on China's rural economy, agricultural development, and improvement of people's livelihood but also plays a notable role in the development of the global sericulture industry. To adapt to the needs of improving agricultural product quality, enhancing international competitiveness, and increasing the economic benefits of the sericulture industry after China's entry into the World Trade Organization, the standardized production technology of China's sericulture industry is gradually being formed and refined. The author hopes that by writing this book, he can contribute his efforts to the standardized production of China's sericulture industry. During the writing process of this book, the author was based on existing national standards, combined with local standards of high-quality and high-yield silkworm cocoon production bases in Zhejiang Province, and referred to and applied materials from many works as well as professional publications such as Sericulture Science and Technology, Silkworm and Mulberry News, and China Sericulture. The author strives to make it a scientific and rational, advanced and practical, illustrated, and easy-to-understand reference book.
