Abstract: 

Each of the silkworm is specific in its feeding habitats. The suitable Increase the production, productivity and quality of silk. The choice of different varieties of feeding food plants (Tarminalia arjuna plant –Tasar silkworm and Bombyx mori -mulberry plant) effect on production of silk. Rearing performance of silkworm in growth and development of silkworms, different larval stages duration observation mortality rate, cocoon of the silkworm.
