Sericulture is a beneficial agro-based cottage industry by which rural economy is being strong by practicing it. Cultivation of mulberry plant and rearing of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) are the two major sections of cocoon production. Following the standard package and practices with integrated pest-disease management protocol one can earn a huge amount of money by using minimum technical skill and labour than other agricultural crops. Application of various chemicals related to this industry is less hazardous except the chemicals using in post-cocoon technology section where silk is produced for commercial marketing. Otherwise, mulberry tree plantation and rearing by-products are very eco-friendly and useful for agricultural or animal farming application. It has been shown that the return income from mulberry sericulture is much better than other competing agricultural crops.Downloads
