Abstract
This study aimed to determine the process of cultivation and silkworm silk
yarn production in the Exploitation of Natural Silk (PSA) Pati Regaloh. The basic
method of research used is descriptive method. Determining the location of the
research conducted (purposive), the Concession Alam Sutera (PSA) Regaloh. The
results obtained are Regaloh PSA has implemented a system of partnerships
between employers and the surrounding farming community through the core
system and plasma. Technically maintenance silkworms can be divided into two,
namely the maintenance of mulberry plantation and silkworm breeding. The
species planted mulberry is Morus multicaulis Regaloh PSA, Morus cathayana,
Morus nigra, Morus alba and mulberry mixed types. Mulberry plant maintenance
includes fertilizing, pendangiran (weeding), and trimming. Maintenance consists
of maintenance silkworm caterpillars are small and large caterpillars. Harvesting
is done after the silkworm cocoon mengokon for 6-7 days in the maintenance brak
brak-large caterpillar. The processing of cocoons into silk yarn is divided into
several stages, namely boiling, reeling, rereeling, pressing and packing. Â
