To study the effect of mounting fully ripe and unripe silkworms at different maturation percentage, the ripe and unripe silkworms were mounted separately and observed the cocoon and reeling characters. The significant difference in the cocoon and reeling parameters was observed between all ripe and unripe batches except for summer season. The silkworms collecting together and mounting at a time can be recommended only in summer season and at certain level during rainy season.
