India has the biggest village silk production industry after handloom and khadi, providing employment to a million people. To promote larval feeding by enrichment of Morus alba leaves with supplementary nutrients is attempted. Freshwater green algae Scenedesmus dimorphus have very high protein contents compared to traditional sources of protein-eggs, meat, milk and soybeans, carbohydrate and organic chemicals. In this study, Morus alba (Mulberry) leaves were treated with different S. dimorphus algalextract concentrations and fed to III, IV and V instar larvae, once in a day. It increased, the maximum growth rate, silk ratio, and economic traits when compared with control and treated batch.
