Abstract
Silkworm Bombyx mori L. is a monophagous creature mainly feed on
mulberry leaves obtained all the nutrients from the mulberry leaves, diet plays
a vital role in sericulture enlightening the economic traits. Another way for
the enhancement of growth and development of silkworm is adding additional
supplementary nutrients with mulberry leaves. The present experiment was under
taken to know the influence of the supplementation of vermiwash on post cocoon
parameters in Bivoltine double hybrid (FC1XFC2) during experiment G4 mulberry
leaves was used. Treating of G4 mulberry leaves vermiwash for cocoon parameters
analysed are cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, pupa weight, silk
filament length, silk filament weight, denier, silk productivity, renditta,
sericin and fibrin content. The One-way ANOVA describe among the treated groups
100% vermiwash recorded maximum cocoon parameters, cocoon weight is (9.77gm),
shell weight (3.16gm), shell ratio (21.6%), pupa weight (8.13gm), silk filament
length (1253.15mtr), silk filament weight (0.45gm), Denier (3.00d), silk
productivity (7.5cg/day), renditta (6.00gm), sericin (0.71gm) and fibrin
(0.65gm). The study specified that there is insightful increase due to treatment
of vermiwash on cocoon characters than the control which improved the quality
of silk production.
