Abstract

Eri-silkworms (Philosamia cynthia ricini) were reared on castor leaves (its natural host plant) from 1st to 5th instars and artificial diet upto second instar then shifted to castor leaves. The larval duration was one day more in diet batches than leaves batches. The cocoon yield increased 13% cocoons in diet feed batches than leaf fed batches. Flimsy cocoons % was more in leaves chawki reared Eri silkworm. The Stable cocoons crops in artificial diet Eri chawki rearing than leaves rearing.
