Abstract
Over millennia, sericulture the traditional practice of raising silkworms (Bombyx mori L.) for the purpose of producing silk, has undergone substantial change. From its beginnings in China to its eventual global expansion along the Silk Road, sericulture has continued to be an important industry, producing fine silk strands that are woven into highly priced garments all over the world. But just like any agricultural venture, sericulture has to deal with issues including pest control, environmental factors, and maintaining the quality of the silk. In sericulture, traditional monitoring techniques frequently depend on manual observation and recurrent sampling, which can be labour-intensive and may not offer the real-time information needed for prompt actions. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have made it possible to develop nanosensors that can precisely and continuously monitor environmental parameters, insect presence, and silk quality—a viable option to modernize sericulture's monitoring techniques. This article explores the applications, benefits, challenges, and future prospects of nanosensors for monitoring in sericulture, highlighting their potential to enhance silk production efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability.
