Abstract
Silkworm larvae were reared on the leaves of three different mulberry varieties; Morus alba var. kokuso-27, M. alba var. morittiana and M. alba var. rosa to study the varietal effect on the silkworm growth and cocoon yield. The nutritional composition of the leaves of the mulberry varieties was also determined. The study of biochemical analysis and feeding trials revealed that there were a significant increase in crude protein, soluble sugar and starch in the leaf of M. alba var. kokuso-27 mulberry variety as compared to M. alba var. morritiana and M. alba var. rosa and it was found to be superior to others. The chlorophyll content in the basic-leaves was higher than in the apexial and middle leaves.
