Sericulture Shed Cooling System

Sericulture farming is an important part of modern agriculture in India. More than 90% of mulberry cultivation is practiced in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. During hot summer days, special care is required to maintain yield and silk quality.

The ideal rearing temperature is 24°C to 28°C with relative humidity of 80% to 85%. Without proper climate control, high summer temperatures can severely reduce silkworm health, silk quality, and farm income.


Importance of temperature control in this sector as follows:

  1. During incubation & Brushing :-
    Ideal storage condition of 25 to 26 ℃ in temperature and 85% Relative humidity is very much important.
  2. During quality leaf feeding :-
    After brushing body temperature of worms rises. So we must control shed inside temperature must be in between 27 ℃ to 28 ℃ and 80% to 85% relative humidity.
  3. During molting :-
    The optimum temperature requirement is 25 ℃ to 26 ℃ and Relative humidity of 65% to 75%. In this climatic condition the worm will get maximum growth.
  4. After 4th molt :-
    in spinning stage worms must be maintained in between 26-27 ℃ and 55% to 60% Relative humidity.
    Entire process take 26 to 27 days.
Silkworm molt stages — temperature and humidity requirements for each stage of sericulture

How we control climate in Sericulture Sheds

We offer two proven climate control methods for sericulture sheds:

E-Coolers

Our E-Coolers use evaporative cooling to reduce shed temperature from 36°C down to 28°C and control relative humidity from 25% to 85% with proper shed insulation. Power consumption is only 200W × 2 units for a 60 × 22 feet shed. Manual or automatic timer control is available.

Atomizer Nozzles

Suited for very high temperature zones of 38°C to 47°C. Atomizer nozzles bring temperature close to 28°C and RH to 75% without any wetting or fungus problems — ideal for extreme summer conditions in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature and humidity is ideal for silkworm rearing?

Ideal temperature is 24°C to 28°C with relative humidity of 80% to 85%. During molting, 65–75% RH is optimal. During incubation and brushing, maintain 25–26°C and 85% RH. During the spinning stage (after 4th molt), maintain 26–27°C and 55–60% RH.

How does the E-Cooler work for sericulture sheds?

E-Coolers use evaporative cooling to reduce shed temperature from 36°C down to 28°C and control relative humidity from 25% to 85% with proper shed insulation. Power consumption is only 200W × 2 units for a 60 × 22 feet shed. Manual or automatic timer control is available.

What is the difference between E-Coolers and Atomizer Nozzles?

E-Coolers are suited for standard temperature zones (reducing to 28°C) and are energy-efficient at 200W. Atomizer nozzles are suited for very high temperature zones (38°C to 47°C) and bring temperature close to 28°C and RH to 75% without any wetting or fungus problems.

Which states in India need sericulture cooling systems most?

More than 90% of mulberry cultivation in India is in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. These states experience high summer temperatures that can severely impact silkworm health and silk quality without proper cooling systems.

How long does the entire silkworm rearing cycle take?

The entire rearing process from brushing to spinning takes 26 to 27 days. Maintaining correct temperature and humidity throughout each stage — incubation, feeding, molting, and spinning — is critical for maximum yield and cocoon quality.
