Abstract

CSR-2 silkworm reared with V1 variety of mulberry plants irrigated by raw water,50% PTSW and 33% PTSW. The different parameters such as raw silk (%), filamentlength (m), reelability (%), denier and shell ratio were determined at the maturity ofcocoons. It was found that the parameters werebetter in cocoon irrigated with 33%PTSWcompared to 50%PTSW and raw water irrigations. This concludes that the mulberryplants irrigated with 33%PTSW is enriched with more nutrients for the potential growthof mulberry plants which results in the potential cocoons.
