Other topics
1 Dissecting out the silk glands and drawing a diagram
2 Spots with diagrams
Cocoon Assortment and calculation of
reelable cocoons
Types of No. of Reelable cocoons Non-reelable cocoons
cocoons cocoons No. % No. %

Leaf quality
moisture content 70-80 %
protein 35-40 %
mineral salts 10-15 %
reducing sugars 1.5-1.9 %
sugars 15-20 %

Procedure
procure leaves before sunrise
pluck carefully
preserve in cool

Analysis of moisture
W1 (Wet weight)
After 12-24 hours, W2
heat up to (80-900 C) and W3 (Dry weight)
Moisture content (%) = W1 W3/W1 x 100

Loss of moisture after 12-24 hours


W1 W2/W1 x 100
Retained moisture = total percentage loss of moisture percentage

Quantity of leaves calculation


Total area of plot

Pit system of calculation = 2 x 2
