Silkworm larvae feeding on mulberry leaves supplemented with the best optimum dosed solution (0.1% P + 0.3% K + 0.1% Ca + 0.2% N and 0.15% Mn) proved better in terms of increased food consumption, co-efficient of utilization, larval weight, length and silk yield. It is concluded from the present study, the minerals supplementation had a positive influence not only on the yield components but the life processes too. Thus it is evident from the experimental verification references that treatment T base 11 emerged as the best one, where mulberry leaves were treated with 0.1 percent P + 0.1 percent Ca + 0.2 percent N + 0.3 percent K and 0.15 Mn leading to develop a stronger lot of silkworm larvae and silk yield as well.
