Sericulture In Turkey...


I watched documentary about sericulture days ago. I interested about it. How silkworm is made, when... All of them were showed in tv and I decided to write sericulture of Turkey to my blog. Sericulture is made in Marmara region, especially in Bursa/Turkey. Bursa city is known with sericulture centuries. Bursa has lots of mulberry trees so, sericulture is made in this area. Sericulture was the most important means of livelihood of Bursa in the old days. Sericulture is important for textile industry. As far as I know, only Koza iplik Textile buys and gives support to grow sericulture in Turkey. All right, how sericulture is made? I want to give short information about this. Butterfly gives up its eggs on mulberry trees, after this, it dies in 3-4 day.In spring, caterpillar goes out from larvas on mulberry trees. They eat continuous mulberry leaf. Their length became 7-8 centimeter in 1.5 month. When they grow and seat their cell, they star to make cocoon. Caterpillar make firstly cocoon's outward, after they close in on its around. After, cocoons are collected and gived up in hot water; so this, caterpillars die. Consequently silk cocoon is got out of. Raw silk is produced. Turkey has potential of growing sericulture in world market with their climate, manpower and land. But, how many people know its important and claim to be the owner of sericulture??
