The main concerns and challenges of raising silkworms include economic value, mulberry management, biodiversity conservation genetic resources, developing highly productive breeds for variety. This study investigated the relationship between relevance products generated throughout value chain, limitations, opportunities to generate incomes sericulture farmers, trends, perspectives worldwide, pa...

In recent decades there has been an increasing use of remotely sensed data for precision agricultural purposes. Sericulture, the activity rearing silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) larvae to produce silk in form cocoons, is practice that rarely used remote sensing techniques but could benefit from them. The aim this work was investigate possibility using satellite imaging order monitor leaf harvesting m...

Aim: The experiment was aimed at evaluating the effect of mulberry irrigated with treated sewage water on silkworms and cocoon production.
 Study Design: laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) six treatments four replications.
 Place Duration Study: study conducted during Rabi 2019 pre-established V-1 garden Department Sericulture, University Agricultural Sciences, Gand...

the influence of vam fungi and bacterial biofertilizer (bbf) with 50% reduction in the recommended dose of (n and p) chemical fertilizers on leaf quality traits of mulberry variety (s-13) and its impact on silkworm (pm ? nb4d2) growth and cocoon characters were studied under semi-arid conditions. four different treatments were imposed i.e., t1: control (only 100% npk); t2: vam (50% cut in p); t...

The search for alternative ways of controlling sericultural pests has led to the investigation of plant sources for naturally occurring compounds which may have Insect growth regulatory, feeding deterrency, repellency and confusantcy characteristics. More than 2000 species of the families Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Euphorbiaceae are known that possess some insecticidal activity. Plants with inse...

A wide range of hemocyte types exist in insects but a full definition the different subclasses is not yet established. The current knowledge classification silkworm hemocytes mainly comes from morphology rather than specific markers, so our understanding detailed classification, lineage and functions very incomplete. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) representative member baculoviruses m...
