Abstract
Rearing of mulberry silkworm by feeding wet shootlet daily twice at chawki age and wet cut shoots daily thrice to late age silkworm has significantly reduced the larval duration and disease incidence and improved all the larval, cocoon and silk traits as compared to other wet shootlet and wet cut shoot feeding frequencies. While, the recommended normal three times shootlet feeding at chawki and normal three times cut shoot feeding at late age was inferior in larval, cocoon and silk traits
