Man is always inquisitive for silk products. Mankind has always loved this shimmering fibre of unparalleled grandeur from the moment its discovery. Exquisite qualities like the natural sheen, inherent affinity for dyes and vibrant colours, high absorbance, light weight, resilience and excellent drape etc. have made silk, the irresistible and inevitable companion of the eve, all over the world.

The art of silk production is called sericulture that comprises cultivation of mulberry, silkworm rearing and post cocoon activities leading to production of silk yarn. Sericulture provides gainful employment, economic development and improvement in the quality of life to the people in rural area and therefore it plays an important role in anti poverty programme and prevents migration of rural people to urban area in search of employment.

This book provides comprehensive overview of recent trends in global sericulture. It gives information on various techniques used in different stages of silk production, conservation of germplasm resources, applications of biotechnology in sericulture, methods of non-mulberry silk production, and so on. The contents of the book will be highly useful to farmers, students, naturalists, policy makers and all those related with sericulture.
