Describe the different mounting methods practiced in late age silkworm rearing.

Types of Mountage:

In India following types of mountages are used:

(1) Chandrika:

This round- or rectangular- shaped mountage is made of bamboo mat supported by split bamboo reapers on all sides (Fig. 3.7). On the mat, a bamboo tape of 4-5 cm width is wound in a spiral manner. About 1000 worms can be mounted on this mountage. These are easy to handle, repa­irable and cocoons spinned on Chandrika are of good quality.

However, bamboo being a protected plant, nowadays Chandrika is rare and costly. It is prone to damage by rodents and requires a lot of area when not in use. Besides, occurrence of stained cocoons is more in chandrika. Chandrika is popular in South India and West Bengal.
