CSR-18 silkworm reared with V1 variety of mulberry plants irrigated by raw water, 50 per cent PTSW and 33 per cent PTSW. The different parameters such as raw silk (%), filament length (m), reelability (%), denier and shell ratio were determined at the maturity of cocoons. It was found that the parameters were better in cocoon irrigated with 33 per cent PTSW compared to 50 per cent PTSW and raw water irrigations. This concludes that the mulberry plants irrigated with 33 per cent PTSW is enriched with more nutrients for the potential growth of mulberry plants which results in the potential cocoons.
