Sericulture is a particularly labour in depth, remunerative and rural welfare orientated agro-based totally industry. It's far an age-antique land-based totally exercise in India with high employment ability and monetary blessings to agrarian families. India, a prime donor to global nourishment generation, customarily applied cultivating techniques like edit revolution, compost, excrements, and polyculture of different races of multivoltine silkworm. In the beyond, agriculturists utilized conventional techniques, but currently they often make use of modern-day approaches with chemical substances to induce more vegetation. Be that as it could, these chemical techniques can harm the surroundings and the nourishment we eat. Impact of natural nutrition on cocoon boom eclosion and fecundity characters of multivoltine natural races, Nistari race and PM race had been investigated. Fortification of mulberry leaf with natural vitamins has proved to be successful in improving the crop yield. The boom in cocoon boom, eclosion and fecundity characters suggests that organic vitamins have stimulatory impact on cocoon growth yield, eclosion and fecundity charge of multivoltine races of Nistari and PM. for this reason organic nutrients can be utilized in sericulture for development of yield and has realistic gain in silkworm grainage and reeling enterprise.
