The differences were found to be significant among treatments. The treatment T5 i.e., 0.2 % N + 0.3 % K + 0.1% Ca + 0.05% Cu gave maximum food consumption (55.82 g/10 larvae) and coefficient of utilization (65.71%) on cumulative basis, maximum larval body weight (62.42 g/10 larvae), body length (7.667 cm/larva) and cocoon yield with (1.487 g/cocoon) and without pupa (0.2967 g/cocoon)}, pages = {47--50}, title = {Effects of Optimum Dosages of Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium and Copper on Silkworm, Bombyx mori L.
