Impact of Annona reticulata L. Extract Fortified Mulberry Leaves on Silk Production Parameters of Bombyx mori L.

The effects of several plant extracts in different quantities on Bombyx mori L. commercial parameters have been seen in commercial silk farming in recent years. In this study, the effects of various concentrations of chloroformic extract of Annona reticulata L. on Bombyx mori L. larvae were investigated. The overall performance of Bombyx mori in response to A. reticulata treatments were observed in the present study. According to experimental study, by utilizing concentrations of Annona reticulata L. at 1: 2, 1: 4, and 1: 8 resulted in an increasing trend for key commercial characteristics, such as filament length, filament weight, single cocoon weight, pupal weight, and shell weight of B. mori L.
