Silk Worm Rearing and Grain-age

Silkworm seeds are produced in the grainage and therefore grainage is the first and the most important aspect which needs special attention. Success of silkworm rearing largely depends on careful grainage operation. Systematic and methodological grainage not only minimize larval morality due to diseases but also results in vigorous progenies. The grainage operations consist of selection storage and preservation of seed cocoons.The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive guide to silk worm rearing and grain-age catering to both novice enthusiasts and experienced practitioners in sericulture and agriculture. It aims to offer a detailed overview of the entire process from the basics of silk worm rearing to advanced techniques in grain-age management with a focus on practicality and real-world application.This book Silkworm Breeding and Genetics is a comprehensive resource encompassing ten chapters covering various aspects of silkworm biology breeding and genetics. Each chapter focuses on a distinct facet of silkworm research offering valuable insights into the multifaceted role of silkworms in science and industry. This book offers a thorough exploration of the scientific and practical aspects of silkworm research making it an essential resource for researchers students and professionals in the field of entomology genetics and biotechnology.
