Question

Mulberry trees play a very important role in the development of silk moth as it is the main diet of Larva of silk moth.

Explain the effect of temperature, climatic conditions and soil type required for the development of silk moth.​

Answer 1

For the development of the silk-moth, the following factors are very necessary.

• Temperature - The silkworm or silk-moth require comparatively higher temperatures because they actually consume very less percentage of mulberry trees and indigestion percentage is also less, due to this these activities of enzymes in the breakdown of food becomes less and the temperature. At a higher temperature, the rate of digestion is reduced because the enzymes are then destroyed.
• Climatic Conditions - Climatic conditions such as humidity also act as an important factor for the development of silk moths. The water content in the body that is connected with the growth of silkmoths becomes less they cannot tolerate the seasonal fluctuations in the climate. With recent studies, it can be seen that under certain humidity the silkworms can survive but above that, they cannot withstand. For the mulberry trees, the early monsoon is the best season for growth and the feeding of silkmoths is easier.
• Soil type - Soil matters more than anything in the development of silkmoths, for the silkmoths to feed on the mulberry trees, the mulberry trees need good soil with water holding capacity and good air passage. Soils such as clayey or loamy are best for mulberry.
