• Growth promoting substances :

Effect of growth promoting substances
Botanicals • Any deficit in the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves:
• Enrichment of deficit nutrients through botanicals:
• Biochemical constituents - amino acid, proteins, alkaloids, glucoside, phyllanthine, psoralem, betasitosterol - phagostimulants and attractants.
• Administration - plants extracts to larvae increases phagostimulant activity.
9
• Botanicals - immense ability to influence the metabolic activities.
• Many attempts - fortify mulberry leaf with botanical extracts to improve mulberry leaf quality and feed efficiency of silkworm - increase cocoon production and silk quality.
• Many studies - plant extracts on various metabolic activities resulting acceleration of most of economical parameters viz., spinning, increase in larval, cocoon & shell weight, silk gland weight, improvement in reeling parameters, increase in silk content, silk filament length and weight.

Supplementations of botanicals
• Administration of mulberry leaves treated with aqueous leaf extracts of Adhatoda vasica, Phyllanthus niruri and Terminalia arjuna to first instar larvae of PM x CSR2 hybrid resulted in positive response with respect to rearing parameters.
• Highest larval weight in all instars, high silk productivity, increased filament length and reduced denier was noticed in P. niruri followed by A. vesica and T. arjuna.

Vitamins and minerals
• Vitamins - required - their function - cofactors of enzymes and needed -appropriate catalytic activity.
• B- complex vitamins - biotin, cholin, incitol, niacin, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine.
• Mulberry leaves - rich in vitamin B complex, except for vitamin B12. Vitamin B-12 does not occur in in mulberry leaves, but a considerable amount of this vitamin is present in the silkworm larva and pupa.
• Ascorbic acid - posses gustatory stimulating activity. β- carotene - gustatory stimulating activity.

Summary
Mulbery silkworm is a monophagous insect it is neessary to supply nutrients through fortification on mulberry leaves.
Administration - plants extracts to larvae increases phagostimulant activity.
Supplementation of locally available botanicles like Adhatoda vasica, Phyllanthus niruri, Terminalia arjuna, Withania somnifera, Terminalia arjuna and Tinospora cordifolia increases economic parameters.
Supplementation of protein rich sources like soybean enhance cocoon yield.
Supplementation of arginine and histidine @ 100 and 150 μg/ml increases economic parameters of silkworm.
55
Summary
56
Supplementation of vitamin C at 0.5% to the bivoltine hybrid NB4D2 X SH6 in 5th instar of silkworm gives higher larval weight, cocoon weight, shell weight, shell % over the control.
Zinc chloride, pyridoxine, methoprene at 2 μg/ml and 0.01 mg/lit FeCl3 on alternate days in 4th and 5th instar significantly elevated economic parameters of the cocoons.
Some honey bee products and their mixtures as food additives at 5th instar increased weights of mature larvae, pupae, fresh cocoons and cocoon shells.
The larvae gained 82.5% more weight by the end of fifth instar larval when fed with mulberry leaves dipped in milk than when fed with fresh mulberry leaves without milk.
