Effectiveness of special feeding mulberry plantations in optimal schemes depending on soil fertility and climatic conditions
Abstract
To ensure the success of sericulture, it is crucial to establish special, dense, and intensive mulberry plantations in regions with suitable climatic and soil conditions. These plantations serve as an abundant and high-quality food source for silkworms, essential for their healthy growth and development. By carefully studying the climatic and soil conditions of each region, it is possible to design and implement systematic schemes for the establishment and maintenance of these special mulberry plantations. Depending on the age of the silkworms and the seasonality of feeding, these plantations can be utilized to optimize the feeding process and enhance the productivity of sericulture operations. The systematic use of special mulberry plantations can transform sericulture into a more profitable and economically efficient industry. By ensuring a consistent and high-quality food supply for silkworms, sericulture practitioners can improve cocoon quality and quantity, leading to increased silk production and profitability.
