Sericulture
Sericulture is the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. The most widely used silkworm is Bombyx mori, which was first domestically raised in China thousands of years ago. Today, China and India are the world's largest silk producers, responsible for over 60% of global production annually. Sericulture is important in other countries as well, serving as a cottage industry.

Sericulture
The rearing of silkworms for the production of silk
is called sericulture.
India is the second largest silk producing country in
the world next to China.
Silk is the secretion from the salivary glands which
are found on both sides of the alimentary canal of
silkworm larvae and this secretion hardens into
fine threads called silk.
Sericulture
Sericulture is the science of rearing silkworms for silk production. There are three main branches of sericulture: mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing from egg to larval stage, and silk reeling and weaving from cocoon onwards. Silk is a natural protein fiber secreted by silkworms in the form of a long thread that makes up their cocoon, which protects the pupa inside. Silk is composed of two proteins, fibroin and sericin, and has properties such as being crystalline, homogenous in structure, hygroscopic, light in weight, the strongest and longest of natural fibers, soft and lustrous, takes dyes well, is elastic and has high tensile
Sericulture
Sericulture is the process of raising silkworms to produce silk. There are two main types of silkworms - mulberry silkworms that eat mulberry leaves, and non-mulberry silkworms that eat other plants like castor, som, and soalu leaves. The main silkworm types are the mulberry silkworm Bombyx mori, eri silkworm Philosamia cynthia, muga silkworm Antheraea assamensis, and tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta. Sericulture is an important agro-industry and cottage industry in India and China.

Silkworm rearing technology
Chawki rearing of young silkworms is important for their healthy growth. It requires different nutritional and environmental conditions than late age rearing. The first three instars after hatching are called the chawki stage. During this stage, silkworms grow extremely fast and require highly nutritious mulberry leaves. Maintaining ideal rearing conditions like sufficient leaf supply, proper temperature and humidity is crucial for chawki worms to develop strong bodies. Any stress during chawki rearing can negatively impact cocoon quality and crop yield. Careful chawki rearing helps silkworms achieve significant increases in body weight, size and silk gland weight needed for cocoon production.
Varun das v s power point presentation on sericulture
Sericulture is the process of rearing silkworms for the production of silk. The most widely used silkworm is Bombyx mori. The silkworm lays thousands of eggs and the larvae feed on mulberry leaves. The silkworm spins approximately 1 mile of filament and encloses itself in a cocoon in 2-3 days. Sericulture is a cottage industry that provides employment and helps alleviate poverty in rural areas as it is a profitable activity with indigenous low-cost technology and regular returns.

Presentation on Silkworm
The life cycle of a silk worm goes through four stages - egg, larva, pupa, and adult moth. Silk worms are caterpillars that hatch from eggs and feed on mulberry leaves, growing over 5 stages until ready to pupate. They then spin cocoons from silk to undergo metamorphosis, emerging 2-3 weeks later as adult moths to lay more eggs, repeating the cycle.

Pests & diseases
Small hive beetle (SHB) is a pest that was first identified in Florida in 1998 and has spread throughout the southern US. The adult beetle does not directly harm bees, but the larvae feed on honey, pollen, and brood, which can contaminate honey and cause the queen to stop laying. American foulbrood (AFB) is a deadly bacterial disease of bee larvae caused by spore-forming bacteria. Symptoms include sunken, discolored cappings and a foul odor. Treatment involves destroying infected hives completely due to the long-lived spores. Nosema is a common intestinal disease of adult bees similar to dysentery, with symptoms of slow spring buildup and weak crawling
Ipm overview
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on commonsense practices and may include judicious use of pesticides. IPM has evolved from early use of physical and cultural controls by farmers to the modern approach of monitoring for pests, using non-chemical methods when possible and applying targeted pesticides as a last resort. The history and development of IPM is outlined, from ancient farming techniques to the modern strategies of physical, mechanical, cultural and biological controls that aim to control pests without eradicating entire populations.

All About Silkworms
Silkworms undergo four moltings as they develop from larvae to adult moths. They exclusively eat mulberry tree leaves. While silkworms were once wild, they are now only raised in captivity as people have domesticated them, causing the insects to lose their ability to fly and survive independently. Silkworms produce silk from which many textile products like clothes, sheets, and pajamas are made, making them an important source of silk without which these silk goods would not exist.

LIFE CYCLE of silkworm
The silkworm is the larva of the domesticated silk moth Bombyx mori. It spins a cocoon which is later processed to yield silk fiber. According to legend, silk production began when a Chinese empress discovered silk filaments unwinding from a cocoon in her tea. The lifecycle of the silkworm progresses from egg to larva, to pupa inside a cocoon, and finally adult moth. Sericulture, or silk farming, is economically important as the silk industry processes cocoons to make silk thread.

Sericulture is the cultivation of silkworms for the production of silk. It involves three main activities - production of quality silkworm seeds, rearing of silkworms to produce cocoons, and reeling of the cocoons to yield silk fiber. While silkworm rearing and cocoon production are agricultural activities, reeling of the cocoons into silk fiber is an industrial process. Sericulture is an important agro-based rural industry in India that provides livelihood to many and involves both on-farm and off-farm activities ranging from mulberry cultivation to silk fabric production.

Sericulture lec China History Stages Duration Activity
Queen See Lang of China discovered silk production over 4000 years ago when a silkworm dropped into her tea. She had craftsmen produce silk handkerchiefs from silkworm cocoons. The Chinese began systematically rearing silkworms to produce silk, naming the practice "sericulture" after the queen. Silkworms are reared by feeding them mulberry leaves, which causes them to produce silk fibers and create cocoons. The cocoons are harvested and processed to produce silk. Proper conditions such as temperature and humidity must be maintained during silkworm rearing to prevent disease and maximize production.
Silkworm
The mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori, is an economically important insect domesticated for silk production. It was first cultivated in China around 3500 BC to produce silk. As a domesticated insect, it is completely dependent on humans for feeding and reproduction. The larvae feed exclusively on mulberry leaves, while the adult moths do not eat and focus on mating. Silk production remains an important industry in countries like China, India, and Italy, providing income to many families and communities through sericulture.

SILK AND SILK CENTRES IN INDIA-converted.pdf
Silk is a natural protein fiber , some forms of which can be woven into textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons. The best-known silk is obtained from the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm reared in captivity (sericulture). The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre, which allows silk cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing different colours.

Silk is produced by silkworms through a process called sericulture. Silkworms, such as the domesticated Bombyx mori, spin silk cocoons. Sericulture has a long history in India and China, where it began over 5000 years ago and was originally kept secret. India is a major producer of silk and sericulture provides employment and economic growth through activities like mulberry cultivation, silk worm rearing, and silk production. There are four main types of silkworms - mulberry, eri, tasar, and muga - which produce different silks and are reared on various host plants. Sericulture remains an important industry in India.
Introduction of Non Wood Forest Products

The document proceeds to describe sericulture, the rearing of silkworms for silk production. It details the life cycle of silkworms, from eggs to cocoon spinning. It explains how silk is produced from the cocoons
Silk
Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by silkworms. China historically had a global monopoly on silk production for over 3000 years. The process of silk production (sericulture) begins with silkworm eggs hatching and the caterpillars (larvae) spinning cocoons from liquid silk secreted from two glands. Several filaments are combined to produce raw silk. The main types of silk are mulberry silk, tussah silk, eri silk, and muga silk. Silk has properties including luster, strength, absorbency, and wrinkle resistance. It requires dry cleaning or gentle laundering and pressing.
Sericulture by Appy
This document summarizes the process of sericulture, or silk production. It discusses how silk production began in China thousands of years ago and later spread to other parts of Asia, Europe, Africa. It describes the lifecycle of silk worms and the various types of silk produced in different parts of India. It also notes some health hazards that can arise from handling silkworms and working long hours in silk production facilities.
FIBRE TO FABRIC
Wool and silk are common animal fibres. Wool is obtained from sheep, goats, yaks, camels, llamas, and alpacas by shearing their thick coats. Silk is obtained from silk worms. The process of obtaining wool involves rearing and breeding sheep, shearing their fleece, washing and processing the fibers. Silk is obtained by rearing silkworms, which spin cocoons that are boiled to extract silk fibers. The fibers are then spun into yarn and woven into fabric.

Sericulture - A Detailed Study
- 1. Sericulture DONE BY - K. UVAN SANKAR UPLOADED ON -28/08/2016
- 2. Contents Introduction History Branches Types of silk Silk road Stages Opportunities
- 3. INTRODUCTION The word Sericulture originated from two French words seris – silk and culture – rearing. It is the rearing of silk worm for the of raw silk. It is an agro – based cottage industry. Bombyx mori is the widely used species of silk worm and it is intensely studied. It involves the raising of blood plants for silkworm , rearing of silkworm of cocoon for production of yarn , etc.
- 4. HISTORY China is the birthplace of Sericulture. The mystery of silkworm cocoons was accidentally invented by the Chinese empress Lei zu (Lady Hsi – Ling – Shih) , wife of the emperor Shi Huang Di. When she was sitting under the shade of a Mulberry tree , a cocoon covered insect fell into her cup of hot tea. The queen tried to save the insect , but the hot tea killed it by loosening the cocoon. Instead she got a strong thread from the insect and this admirable discovery earned her the name Goddess Of Silk and Goddess Of Silkworm Rearing.
- 10. STAGES SILK MOTH LAY EGGS. EGGS HATCH & THE LAVAE FEED ON THE MULBERRY LEAVES. WHEN THE SILKWORM ARE ABOUT 10,000 TIMES HEAVIER THAN THE WHEN THEY HATCHED THEN THEY ARE READY TO SPIN A COCOON. SILK IS PRODUCED INTO 2 GLANDS IN THE HEAD AND THEN FORCED OUT IN LIQUID FORM THROUGH OPENINGS CALLED SPINNERETS. SILK SODLIDIFIES WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE AIR. SILKWORM SPINS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE OF FILAMENT AND COMPLETELY ENCLOSES ITSELF IN A COCOON IN ABOUT 2 OR 3 DAYS. DUE TO QUALITY RESTRICTION THE AMOUNT OF RAW SILK IN EACH COCOON IS SMALL. AS A RESULT, 5500 SILKWORMS ARE REQUIRED TO PRODUCED 1KG OF SILK. SILK AT THE COCOON STAGE IS THE RAW SILK.
- 11. OPPORUNITIES SERICULTURE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN EMPLOYMENT GENERATION AND POVERTY ALLEVIATION. LARGE DEMAND AND POPULARITY OF HAND WOVEN SILKS IN THE WEST. AVAILABILITY OF INDIGENOUS TECHNOLOGY AT LOW COST. SCOPE FOR ESTABLISHING THE LARGE PRODUCTION UNITS AND ORGANISED UNITS. REGULAR AND QUICK RETURNS.
