Application of Laser Treatment on Bio-commercial Traits of the Silkworm, Bombyx mori L.: A Comprehensive Review

Ashish S. Karur & M. Narmada · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori L., represents one of the most economically valuable insects in global sericulture. Beyond silk production, it serves as a powerful experimental model in genetics, radiation biology and developmental physiology. The application of laser irra...

Climate Change Impacts on Sericulture: Evidence from Mulberry Physiology, Silkworm Biology and Northeast Indian Muga Ecosystems

Ashish S. Karur & M. Narmada · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2026

Climate change has emerged as a major driver of agro-ecological instability, influencing temperature regimes, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, precipitation patterns, and the frequency of extreme climatic events. This review aims to synthesize current knowledge on the i...

Economic Analysis of Bivoltine Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Seed Crop Production in Tree Mulberry as Influenced by Graded Nutrient Management

Ashish S. Karur, M. Narmada & H. Ranjitha Bai · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2026

Mulberry (Morus spp.) leaf quality plays a crucial role in determining the growth, cocoon productivity and reproductive performance of the silkworm Bombyx mori L. The present investigation was carried out to assess the economics of bivoltine silkworm seed crop production raised o...

Subhash Palekar Natural Farming (SPNF) in Sericulture: A Regenerative Approach to Strengthen the Soil–Mulberry–Silkworm Continuum

Ashish S. Karur, M. Narmada & H. Ranjitha Bai · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2026

Sericulture is often described as a “green” rural enterprise because mulberry-based systems are perennial and silkworms convert leaf biomass into a high-value natural fibre. A regenerative approach to sericulture, therefore, needs to be framed as a continuum: soil functioning sha...

Impact of Pesticide Treated Mulberry Leaves on Cocoon Traits of Silkworm Hybrid FC2

Basanagouda Jekinakatti, Doreswamy C, Nikita Kankanawadi, Ashish S. Karur, Ashrith S. & Pavithra M. R. · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2025

A bioassay was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding pesticide-treated mulberry leaves on cocoon parameters of silkworm hybrid FC2 during the year 2022-23 at the College of Agriculture, Chamarajanagara. Five pesticides which are used for mulberry pest management were appli...

Bio Efficacy of Novel Fungicides against Fusarium solani Inducing Mulberry Root Rot

Naveen Chandra Reddy, Ramakrishna Naika, Mahesh M., Devaraja, Ashish S. Karur & Dukare Pradip Gulabrao · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2024

Mulberry root rot is most severe disease-causing considerable yield loss, caused by fungal pathogen F. solani, which were managed by the use of effective synthetic chemicals. In this view non-systemic, systemic and combi fungicides evaluated by poison food technique against the r...
