Jeollanam-do Agricultural Research Institute to Supply Over 400 Boxes of High-Quality Silkworm Eggs in Spring

The Jeollanam-do Agricultural Research Institute (Director Kim Haeng-ran) announced that it will supply approximately 400 boxes of high-quality silkworm seeds in two rounds on the 16th and 24th during the spring silkworm breeding season. The Jeollanam-do Agricultural Research Institute explained that after investigating the mulberry tree leaf-opening period in major silkworm breeding areas such as Suncheon and Hwasun, they found that the leaf-opening period has accelerated again this year, just like last year, so they moved up the supply timing to ensure farmers do not miss the optimal silkworm breeding period. The silkworm seeds being supplied consist of 240 boxes of 'Dodam silkworm' and 160 boxes of 'Baekokjam', which were directly produced and managed by the Insect and Sericulture Research Institute of Jeollanam-do Agricultural Research Institute last year. According to the quality survey of propagated silkworm eggs by the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, the eggs are normal.
