Moriculture, the cultivation of mulberry (Morus spp.), forms the foundation of sericulture by
providing nutritious leaves for silkworm rearing. The quality and quantity of mulberry leaves
directly influence silkworm growth, cocoon yield, and silk production. Excessive dependence
on chemical fertilizers has resulted in soil degradation, nutrient imbalance, and environmental
concerns, necessitating sustainable nutrient management approaches. Vermicompost, an
organic fertilizer produced through the biological decomposition of organic wastes by
earthworms, has emerged as an eco-friendly alternative for enhancing soil fertility and crop
productivity.
