Question

explain the process of sericulture with the help of a diagram​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sericulture is the process of cultivating silkworms and extracting silk from them. The caterpillars of the domestic silkmoth (also called ‘Bombyx mori’) are the most commonly used silkworm species in sericulture. Other types of silkworms (such as Eri, Muga, and Tasar) are also cultivated for the production of ‘wild silks’.

Answer 2

What is the Process Followed in Sericulture?

For the production of mulberry silk, the sericulture process follows three primary steps.

• Moriculture – the cultivation of mulberry leaves.
• Silkworm rearing – promoting the growth of the silkworm.
• Silk reeling – the extraction of silk filaments from the silkworm cocoons.

Finally, the silk filaments are woven together to form a thread. These threads are often plied together to form a yarn.
