ABSTRACT : Optimized package of rearing conditions including adding secondary macro (Ca230, S50, & Mg55) and micronutrients (Mn3, Fe4.5, Zn3.5, Cu0.4, B0.5, Mo0.54 & Cl200) to the mulberry garden beside the 1ry macronutrients (N300P150K120) per hectare in split doses after every leaves harvest. Disease free rearing management by double house disinfections, eggs, bed and larval body disinfection. Optimum physiological needs that include low temperature rearing for young instars and natural mounting for silkworms improved the egg production. This package for seed silkworm rearing led to the increase in fecundity by 67-121 eggs (15.12-26.22%) and yield of standard boxes per 1 parent egg boxes by 57-78 egg boxes (48.33-51.66%) respectively in comparison to the traditional cocoon production technology under Egyptian conditions. This technology is highly ecological with the elimination of formol. Also, the farmyard manure with its bulkiness and the possibility to transmit harmful nematodes and unwanted weeds to the mulberry garden was eliminated without reducing the nutritive value of the mulberry leaves. 56
