Abstract: The nutritive value of mulberry leaves has a direct influence on various growth parameters of the silkworm. The mulberry leaves enriched with additional nutritional supplements have often proved to be beneficial for larval and pupal parameters. The present investigation was undertaken to know the effect of mulberry leaves enrichment with combinations of various nutritional supplements viz., vitamin C, vitamin B-complex, soya flour, methionine and L-serine on growth characters in FC
