This book has been brought out to facilitate the reader's knowledge about the art of rearing silkworms for silk. It covers a wide gamut of the sericulture arena-beginning from the feeding of mulberry leaves to the silkworms, right upto silk finishing and its trade. Comprehensive chapters detailing each step of the sericulture process from the crux of the book, and illustrations further enrich the learning process. Also, the silk industry, its history and its future and its size and scope, have also been given a thought to, and find themselves included in the manual. Providing the reader with a thoroughly explored compendium on the sericulture industry, it is hoped that this book enlightens the readers.
