Sericultural Practice - [Mulberry Silk]
Sericulture or the raising of silkworms, involves the incubation of the tiny eggs of the silkworm moth until they hatch and become worms. In case of mulberry - after hatching the silkworms are placed under a layer of gauze feeding with finely chopped mulberry leaves, almost continuously for six weeks. At the end of this period, they are ready to spin their cocoons, and branches of trees or shrubs are placed in their rearing houses. The worms climb these branches and make their cocoons in one continuous thread, taking about eight days for the process. The silkworm secretes a filament, which it wraps around itself. Inside this cocoon it changes into a pupa. A moth emerges after 10 to 12 days, mates, and lays its eggs.
