Eri silk worm, Phylosamia ricini , is a polyphagous lipidopteran insect which feeds on a wide range on host plants, cultivated or naturally grown all over India. Castor ( Ricinus communis ) is the primary host plant but there are a number of secondary host plants belonging to the families, Euphorbiaceae, Simaroubaceae, Rutaceae and Caricaceae which are extensively used for eri rearing in India. The local names and distribution of these plants are provided.

Silkworm eggs play crucial role in sericulture industry. For successful production of cocoon crops adequate quantity of good quality egg is essential. In case of silk moth mating time varies from 1 - 4 h which is generally termed as coupling period. The temporal aspects of mating in terms of duration may also have impact on the number of egg laid, pattern of egg laying and their viability. The present investigation intends to find out whether duration of coupling period has any relation with fecundity and fertility of silk moth. The study was conducted with the cross breed of following Bombyx mori breeds: NxM12(w), NxNB4D2, and NxYB. The experiment reveals that total fecundity almost remained same with the variation of coupling duration but fertility is directly proportional to coupling duration and maximum (100%) at 5 h coupling duration.Keywords

Incidence of diseases and pests is a serious concern in silk production due to prevailing tropical condition. Annual crop loss due to diseases during rearing varies between 15% and 20% in national level and in West Bengal it ranges between 35.7% and 44.7%. Crop losses due to specific diseases are also reported to the tune of 30%-40%. Cocoon crop is also affected due to Uzi fly, Exorista bombycis (Louis) infestation. Extent of infestation in West Bengal and Karnataka is between 40%-75%. Silkworm crop protection has been ingenuously investigated in various dimensions and prophylactic measures were developed. Intervention of crop technologies with adequate extension support crop loss due to diseases, which declined from 35% to 14%. Formulation and recommendation of disinfectants and management of rearing with productive breeds/hybrids ensured crop stability and added income of seri farmers. Elaborate technologies have been discussed for successful cocoon crop.Keywords

Common diseases of silkworms in West Bengal are White Muscardine (fungal), Grasserie (viral), Flacherie (viral and bacterial complex) and Pebrine (Protozoa). Present study intends to study the prevalence of various silkworm diseases of Baishakhi crop at Murshidabad district, West Bengal. The study finds that Flacherie is more predominant (18%), followed by Grasserie (10.5%) in both lab and land conditions in Baishakhi or April crop than any other diseases at Murshidabad district. However, occurrence of Muscardine and Pebrine diseases in Baisakhi crop of the district is not recorded during the study period.Keywords
