Abstract

ABSTRACT Till recently sericulture was not known in the province of Sindh, though it has been practiced in other provinces since 1947. During 1975, silkworm rearing was carried out on experimental scale at Miani Research Station, which is about 15 Kilometer from Hyderabad on National High Way. The experiment was executed successfully and it was repeated more in 1976. It showed that sericulture could be practiced beneficially in the province of Sindh and resulted in launching of a pilot project for sericulture for a period of seven years. The project programme was started in April 1977 with the main objective of introducing and transferring sericulture technology to the farmers.
