“…The application Bio-fertilizer resulted in better values for silk gland length, pupation ratio, cocoon percentage and larval weight (ElKahyat 2013. These results are in agreement with those obtained by Rao et al, (2008), Mary and Saravanan (2010) and Waktole and Bhaskar (2012) who reported that nutrition plays a pivotal role in sericulture. It improves the growth, development, health, feed consumption and conversion of silkworm thereby improving the commercial traits.…”

The present work was directed to study the effect of bio and inorganic fertilizer treatments on the ultra structure antennae of female and male silkworm (Bombyx mori L.), as a trail to understand the effect of the type of fertilization on mulberry trees and silkworm antennal sensilla. The sensory organs on the antennae were visualized by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the surface of the antenna is covered with scales overlapped together and is provided with sense sensilla that found on the ventral and lateral surface of the antenna. On the silkmoth antennae, six different types of sensilla have been identified: Olfactory sensilla trichodea, s. basiconica, s. coeloconica, putative gustatory s. chaetica that are multimodal receptors, s. styloconica, that are thought to be thermo-and hygroreceptors and the mechano-sensory sensilla (squamiformia). Silkworm (B. mori) is a monophagous insect that drives almost all required nutrients for its growth and development from mulberry leaf. Mulberry trees were treated with bio fertilizes, chemical fertilizers and the mixture of them through the addition in soil. The results of chemical fertilizer, bio-fertilizer and its mixture increased the growth, development, health, feed consumption and larval weight, total larval duration and this reflected on the number and length of sensilla. Chemical fertilizer, biofertilizer and its mixture increased the size of sensilla than control. Moreover, application by bio-fertilizer resulted in better values larval weight, total larval duration and the size of sensilla. Both chemical and bio fertilizes exhibited better values for pupal weight which reflect on the size of sensilla.

In order to carry outcomparative study between organic and mineral fertilization for mulberry trees and its effect on cocoon parameters of silkworm. Silkworm is a monophagous insect that drives almost all required nutrients for its growth and development from mulberry leaves. Treated mulberry Morusalbavarrosa (local variety) leaves were offered to Thio1 of silkworm larvae four times per day. Theobtained results showed that the feeding of larvae on leavesmulberry of trees treated with green manure increased the fresh cocoon weight (0.796, 0.680g), cocoon shell weight (0.162, 0.126g), pupa weights (0.678, 0.568g), cocoon shell ratio (24.98, 23.10g), silk gland (0.361), cocooning percentages (89.6, 78%) and silk productivity (1.62, 1.29cg/days).

Fertilizers play a crucial role in supplying essential nutrients to plants, notably nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus (P), thereby enhancing crop yield. However, their usage has been associated with various health risks, soil health, soil infertility and environmental pollution. Consequently, consumers are increasingly favoring organic farming practices, including the use of organic manure and fertilizers. In recent times, biofertilizers have gained prominence as a significant contributor to biological nitrogen fixation. There is a shift toward the use of biofertilizers because they provide nutrition through natural processes like zinc, potassium and phosphorus solubilization, nitrogen fixation, production of hormones and protect the plant from different plant pathogens and stress conditions. They provide the nutrition in is suffcient amount necessary for healthy crop development to fulfill the demand of the increasing population worldwide. They offer an economically viable and environmentally sustainable means of nourishing plants. Biofertilizers serve as a cost-effective renewable nutrient source that complements chemical fertilizers. Particularly among small and marginalized farmers, biofertilizers have garnered attention due to their affordability. This review will focus on biofertilizers, types and their significance in agriculture with special reference to mulberry cultivation.
