Besides, other factors, no doubt, leaf quality of mulberry plays a pivotal role in up keeping of silkworms and production of silk.

The present book entitled, "Mulberry Sericulture : Problems and Prospects", has been painted on a large canvas with broad strokes comprising 19 chapters by experts and researchers delved in their respective fields covering the subject area.
