The treatment comprised S. platensis mediated TiO2NPs at different concentrations of 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 ppm was diluted from the stock solution. The Double Hybrid silkworm (CSR6 × CSR26) × (CSR2 × CSR 27) were fed with mulberry leaves treated with S. platensis mediated TiO₂NPs. The application of mulberry leaves treated with S. platensis mediated TiO2NPs influenced silkworm economic parameters. The S. platensis mediated TiO₂NPs at the concentration of 50 ppm treated mulberry leaves fed to silkworm which recorded increased mature larval weight (4.34 g), cocoon weight (2.24 g), shell ratio (26.26%), silk filament length (1455 m), filament weight (0.36 g), denier (2.22) and reduced renditta (5.17 kg) as compared to control.
