I. Course Title
: Integrated Pest Management in Sericulture
II. Course Code
: SER 606
III. Credit Hours
: 1+1
IV. Why this course ?
Suppression of Pests of mulberry and non-mulberry silkworm food plants as well
as pests of silkworms by deploying the chemical pesticides is known to be non-
environmental friendly and induces resistance among pests causing pest outbreaks.
The same is deleterious for silkworms, thus resulting in cocoon crop losses. Hence,
it is always advisable to make use of the available methods of prevention and
suppression methods in suitable combination ie., integrated management of pests
so as to keep their populations below the economic injury level for successful
cocoon crop production. The above knowledge among Ph.D students is essential
and hence this courses assumes importance.
V. Aim of the course
The course is structured to improve knowledge on pests, factors affecting their
biotic potential, damage caused, bio-ecology and integrated managements of pests
of mulberry and non-mulberry silkworm food plants and mulberry as well as non-
mulberry silkworms. In addition,the eco-friendly management practices for these
pests will also be taught.
