Shiv Kumar, Ramya MN, Ravindra MA and Talebi E

In the present study an attempt of review was made to standardize the package and practices for the success of silkworm bivoltine autumn crop in temperate region of the Kashmir Valley. Kashmir has very salubrious climate, which is ideal and favorable for cultivation of mulberry and raising quality cocoon production. But, autumn crop is not popular since 1965 due to the fact that, the productivity is very low as compared to the spring season. With this background, alteration of existing methods/technologies through utilization of stable races/hybrids, mulberry pruning schedule, garden should be nourished with recommended dose of fertilizers, manures, irrigation and leaves be tested, meteorological data of 5 to 10 years be cross checked, etc. Beside, rearing house and surrounding be disinfected, insects & disease infestation should be tested, rearing condition should be checked out timely by avoiding scattered nature of trees, transportation with long distance in vehicles, etc without taking any precautionary measures, using of by-products of sericulture activity, marketing the cocoons, modernization of reeling sector, rationalization of low cost technologies at farmers level, etc are in-depth discussed herein.
