Download PDFLower concentrations of pectin (0.5 %), amino acid mixture (0.01 %) and proline (1 %) proved to be considerably effective showing higher filament length and denier value i.e. 1105 m and 2.40, 1088 m and 2.42 And 1046 m and 2.46 as against higher concentrations of pectin (1.0 %), amino acid mixture (0.02 %) and proline (2 %). In respect of raw silk recovery percentage, it was significantly higher in lower concentration of pectin (45.24 %); amino acid mixture (45.38 %) and proline (41.57 %) than the higher concentrations of secondary metabolites. These findings reported that reeling parameters was noticed and found to be superior in lower concentration of pectin, amino acid mixture and proline which performed best results amongst the treatments and natural diet, which showed that significantly, improved the silk production and they can recommend the leaf supplementations.
