Sericulture, or silk farming, is the cultivation of silkworms to produce silk. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, Bombyx mori (the caterpillar of the domestic silkmoth) is the most widely used and intensively studied silkworm. Silk was believed to have first been produced in China as early as the Neolithic Period. Soil science is the study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the Earth including soil formation, classification and mapping; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils. This book is helpful for Sericulture UG, PG and Ph.D. Students. This book also gives detail information related to Sericulture and Soil Science. To establish sericulture project, this book is very helpful. The book is prepared according to the syllabus of Jammu University. As students were struggling to find the syllabus, so we have prepared it for easiness of students.
