Highlights
India is home to some of the most exotic and wide-ranging silks in the world
Better results were obtained at temperature 24°C and 26°Cand 80-85% relative humidity where the survival rate of pupa was more than 88%
Conclusion:Larvae were reared at different temperature and RH and pupa were formed
Summary
India is home to some of the most exotic and wide-ranging silks in the world. Traditional as well as modern methods of production coexist in perfect harmony. India is the only country in the world producing all the four commercially known varieties of silk; Mulberry, Eri, Tasar and Muga.[1].The primary producer of silk is silk worm. It is well known that the environmental conditions during embryonic development affect the diapause nature of eggs and larval/pupal duration, cocoon weight, and egg production [2]. Temperature and humidity play major role on growth and productivity of silkworms[3, 4]. The productivity and quality of silk is dependent on Corresponding Author: -Amit Kumar Verma
