Sericulture is an agro-based industry consisting of mulberry
cultivation, rearing of silkworm for egg and industrial cocoon
production, and cocoon processing for silk yarn and cloth production.
Its ultimate product is silk, the soft and lustrous, elegant and
beautiful fabric known as the “Queen of Textiles” whose inherent
properties cannot be duplicated by any fabric in the world.
The Philippine government had been aware of the socio-economic an
ecological benefits of the sericulture industry supported its
reintroduction and popularization during the 1960’s under the
Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI).
This was late on backed up by the launching of the National
Sericulture Research and Development Program (NSRDP) which was under the
coordination of PCARRD which involved various state colleges and
universities (SCUs) among which was the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial
State University (DMMMSU).
This provided for the modest operational costs for the pioneering
R & D efforts of DMMMSU towards sericulture.
The SRDI undertakes R, D and E activities in sericulture and it
institutionalizes support systems needed to strengthen the country’s
sericulture industry. 1. Crop Improvement

Sericulture research results are compiled to serve as a benchmark information guide for researchers in formulating future researches for the improvement of sericulture industry in the Philippines. SRDI further hopes that through the application of these results, we can achieve a national goal for an improved quality of life for the Filipinos onwards the new millennium.
