"Contribution of mulberry leaf on the performance of silkworm"
5 stars"

The consumption of mulberry leaf and its conversion into body weight, coocon weight, shell weight and ultimately the silk material are very comprehensive work. I impressed very much with the book on this content specifically.

"Strong illustration on the performance of silkworm genotypes"
5 stars"

I found the book based upon excellent work on pure breeds and hybrid silkworm genotypes. Interesting thing is that it was based on the result of multiple location testing up to seven ecological sites. I was highly impressed with work on strong database. I convinced with the comparison among genotypes over locations.

Description

Mulberry (Morus sp.) leaf is the sole natural food source of silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). The mulberry leaf quality has predominating influence on the development of the silkworm and the quality of the silk cocoons. Different mulberry genotypes under cultivation are not equally important from nutritional point of view. No single genotype contains all the nutrients at the highest level. Genotypic differences in nutritional quality can be examined through various methods. This book gives insights into estimating mulberry leaf yield, examining leaf biochemistry, appraising critical feeding hours of silkworm on a particular mulberry genotype, evaluating silkworm moulting ratio and characterizing consumption-conversion indices of native and exotic mulberry genotypes. Hence, the book provides experimental information in evaluating elite mulberry genotypes from biochemical as well as bioassay perspectives. The information generated is useful for sericulturists, professionals working in the field of Entomology and students studying Entomology, specifically the sericulture.
