Silkworm Life Cycle
The silkworm undergoes 4 stages: Egg → Larva → Pupa → Adult Moth. Each stage plays a crucial role in silk production.
Sericulture in India
India ranks second globally in silk production. It supports millions of small-scale farmers and contributes significantly to rural employment.
Karnataka's Contribution
Karnataka produces around 70% of India’s mulberry silk and is a leader in sericulture research, training, and productivity.
Mulberry Field Conditions
