What is sericulture?

Sericulture is the process of cultivating silkworms and extracting silk from them. The caterpillars of the domestic silkmoth (also called ‘Bombyx Mori) are the most commonly used silkworm species in sericulture. Other types of silkworms (such as Eri, Muga, and Tasar) are also cultivated for the production of ‘wild silks’. An image detailing the different types of silkworms is provided below.

How many different types of silkworms are there What is the difference between the white and the striped silkworms?

I have always thought that the striped silkworms which feed on Mulberry leaves are female. There are other types of Silkworms that dont feed on Mulberry. There are 4 silkworms that I have located in my enquiries are: (this is to the best of my knowledge and may not be entirely correct) 1. Bombyx mori L. feeds on Mulbery. It is the more common one that children raise. 2. Antheraea mylitta (Tasar or Tussah silkworm) feeds on Arjun and Asan and the Antheraea proyeli J (Oak Tassar) feeds on Oak 3. Philosamia ricini (Endi, Errandi or Eri Silkworm) feeds on Castor leaves 4. Antheraea assamensis (Muga Silkworm) feeds on the aromatic leaves of the Som and Soalu plants
