Abstract

Climate change refers to the global phenomenon of rapid transformation in natural climate patterns like rain, wind, heat and more. Climate change poses a significant challenge to the existence of species and the stability of ecosystems on a global scale. The escalation in the Earth's atmospheric temperature is predominantly influenced by the heightened levels of greenhouse gases (GHG), including carbon dioxide (72%), methane (18%) and nitrous oxide (9%). (Bora et al., 2022). Agriculture is directly dependent on climate change and weather in India. The climate change viz., temperature, rainfall and carbon dioxide showed impact on crop growth and production in the country (Ram et al., 2016). Temperature fluctuations impact silkworm behavior, development, survival, growth and reproduction as highlighted by Neelaboina et al. in 2018. Silkworms are ectothermic organisms meaning that, their body temperature closely aligns with their surrounding environment. Consequently, alterations in temperature can significantly impact insect behavior, distribution, development, survival, growth and reproduction. Elevated air temperatures particularly during the 4th and 5th larval instars pose a significant climatic challenge that can adversely affect both silkworms and cocoon crops. The issues arising from these unfavorable conditions can be effectively mitigated by adhering to the recommended silkworm rearing technologies as outlined by Tripath et al. (2017).
