Boosting the Excellence of Cocoon Production through Silkworm Excreta

Field experiments were conducted for two years to determine the effect of silkworm-rearing waste on the growth and yield of mulberry plants and silkworm growth and economic traits. Methodology: This study consisted of 11 treatments, including an absolute control with 3 replications. The results of this study were as follows: silkworm excreta alone (400 gm/plant yielded the longest shoot, greatest number of branches, greatest number of leaves, highest 100 leaf weight, and highest leaf yield. The silkworm excreta alone at 400 gm/plant had a significant and positive influence on larval and cocoon parameters, which recorded the highest values of larval weight, single cocoon weight, shell ratio, single cocoon filament length, and denier.
