Abstract

The article presents the research results to increase the volume of raw silk in the silk industry. Increasing the volume of cocoon harvesting, raw silk production and quality of the product is an urgent task today. The purpose of the research is to develop a new structure for mulberry plantations, which will increase the yield of mulberry leaf and thereby increase the volume of raw silk production in the silk industry. Methods have been developed for cultivating a new structure of a low-stemmed 1-tier 2-fist plantation of checkerboard order, plantations with double rows and united double rows. The leaf yield obtained from the plantation was 582.8 centners per hectare, the cocoons obtained 3.5 tons and raw silk 570.9 kg. The leaf yield obtained from a plantation with three and four combined double rows was 419.6-512.9 centners per hectare, cocoons obtained 2.5-3.1 tons and raw silk 411.0-502.4 kg. With a small land area, a 1-tier 2-fist plantation of checkerboard order is recommended, with a large land area – a plantation with three and four combined double rows, with additional production of other plant crops from the land plot – a plantation with double rows.
