Abstract
The agriculture industry is an important sector includes the sericulture industry which employs people in its thrust areas like moriculture, rearing, reeling, egg production centers, twisting, weaving, dyeing, and fabrication. Silkworm which is a silk producer is sensitive to different infections caused by pathogens (bacteria) with a loss of 15 -25 %. Among the bacterial diseases, flachreie which was recognised by Pasture as silkworm diarrhoea is a serious disease of Bombyx mori associated with various bacterial pathogens. In the present study, cadavers during summer and rainy seasons from nearby sericulture areas and Kakatiya University, (sericulture lab) were collected, dissected to isolate, identify and characterize based on morphological, biochemical and physicochemical parameters. The shape, size, and colour of the bacterial colony were recorded with Micronauts bacteria identification techniques. For purification and control of flacherie and enhancement of commercial parameters, different phyto essential oils were used to harvest a good cocoon crop in hygienic conditions under optimum environmental conditions.
