ADVANCES IN SERICULTURE: MODERN TECHNOLOGIES, CLIMATE ADAPTATION, AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT IN SILK PRODUCTION

Abstract

Sericulture, the cultivation of silkworms for silk production, has been an important agro-based industry for centuries. In recent decades, the adoption of modern technology, climate adaptation strategies, and integrated disease management practices has transformed the industry. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of these innovations, with a focus on mechanization, biotechnology, climate-resilient practices, and integrated pest and disease control. The study combines literature review, field data, and experimental results, providing a comprehensive understanding of current trends and future prospects in sericulture.
