The silkworm is by nature very delicate and sensitive to environmental conditions. Silkworm rearing is therefore aimed at producing very good quality cocoons of very high silk content utilizing the available optimum environmental conditions. The ecological factors, chiefly temperature, humidity, light and air during rearing show a significant effect in the growth of larvae and finally cocoon crop quality. However, other factors such as quality and quantity of the leaf supply and techniques of rearing adopted, such as feeding, cleaning, spacing etc. also influence the rearing activity. The silkworm behavior in relation to various environmental conditions varies with different stages of growth, and a bad environment affects the growth of worms.  \nKeywords: rearing techniques affecting, silkworm, cocoon Bombyx mori Linn  \nIntroduction  \nSilkworms are poikilotherms. Thus, they change their body temperature according to the environmental temperature. Temperature has a direct effect on the various physiological activities of living organisms like other animals. The physiology of silkworm namely metabolic rate, activity of enzymes, nutrient conversion, digestion, assimilations, excretion, nervous stimulation, hormonal actions are influenced by environment temperature. The silkworm is capable of growing in temperatures ranging from 15 degree Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius but from the physiological point of view, ideal temperature ranges from 20 degree Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius. The silkworm rearing is aimed to produce good quality cocoons for which an ideal and desirable temperature ranges from 23-28 degree Celsius forgetting maximum productivity. The effect of temperature on the physiology of silkworm during rearing can be divided into groups which are as follows: a) Temperature which is harmless to growth of silkworm b) Temperature which is favorable for the healthy growth of silkworms. c) Temperature favorable for making good quality cocoons. With the rise in temperature, metabolic activities of the worms are increased while they are slackened when temperature is low. Therefore, at high temperature the growth of larva is fast and consequently the duration of the larval period is shortened. On the other hand, growth becomes slow at low temperature with prolonged larval duration. The chowki worms (Young aged larvae) are comparatively stronger and more resistant to humidity and temperature than the late aged worms. Thus, the young ones feed very actively and grow vigorously under high temperatures in humid conditions. As mentioned above the temperature has a direct correlation with the growth of silkworm, wide fluctuations are avoided as they are harmful. The role of rearing humidity upon the growth and health of silkworm is similar to that of rearing temperature. Humidity helps to decrease the length of growing period of silkworm by accelerating the activity of physiological function. The pH value of blood is remarkably lower at hi","cbCaie8KfPnM8tGZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie8KfPnM8tGZ","pdf",301098,"English","# Introduction\n## Temperature effects on silkworm physiology\n## Humidity effects on growth and health\n## Fresh air and breathing physiology","[{\"question\":\"How do temperature conditions influence silkworm growth during rearing?\",\"answer\":\"Temperature directly affects silkworm physiological activities such as metabolic rate, enzyme activity, nutrient conversion, digestion and hormonal actions.
