Technological innovations in silk sericulture: A comparative study

Sericulture is an ancient cultivation-based industry that involves the rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk. In this paper we will discuss role of technological innovations in silk production. The comparative study across India, China, and Japan reveals significant insights into how technological innovations have transformed sericulture in each country. The findings are synthesized from primary reports, governmental publications, and scholarly literature. The key areas of focus are mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, disease management, and post-cocoon processing. It demonstrates a variety of advancements and levels of adoption. The technological innovations discussed in this paper highlight the potential of sericulture to evolve in a manner that supports both high-quality production and sustainability. While India, China, and Japan have made significant strides, their distinct approaches offer valuable lessons for other countries involved in silk production. Continued innovation, coupled with adaptive policies and collaborative efforts, will drive the future of sericulture.
