The branches were stored in four different systems: in branches depository and in the shelter, covered with wet cloth, with the basal extremities immersed in water, and covered and with the extremities immersed. The experimental design utilized was split plot, with five replications (blocks), four principal treatments (parcels) and five secondary treatments (sub parcels, one until five days of warehousing). The system where the mulberry branches were stored in close place, covered with wet cloth and with the extremities immersed in water was more efficient, because the leaves maintained appropriate moisture purport for silkworm feeding (69,13%) for until four days of warehousing.
