Principles and Practices of Sericulture is a comprehensive guide that introduces students, researchers, and practitioners to the scientific and practical aspects of silk production, focusing on both mulberry and non-mulberry silkworm rearing systems. Rooted in traditional practices yet aligned with modern sericulture advancements, this book covers the entire silkworm life cycle, mulberry cultivation, and cocoon processing with a balance of theoretical detail and hands-on application. Beginning with an overview of sericulture importance and scope, the book explores key topics such as mulberry varieties, host plants, land preparation, pruning, and harvesting practices. It then delves into silkworm biology, including external morphology, silk gland anatomy, and feeding behavior. Detailed chapters on rearing infrastructure, disinfection, grainage techniques, egg incubation, and moulting management guide readers through the systematic rearing of Bombyx mori L. Additional sections cover mounting, cocoon harvesting and grading, as well as diseases and pest control, making this text a complete resource for maintaining healthy silkworm colonies. With coverage of silk reeling technology, rearing equipment, and post-harvest operations, the book is ideal for students in agricultural and sericulture programs, extension professionals, and entrepreneurs engaged in silk farming and rural development initiatives
